Hormone Therapy for Women in Oceanside

It’s important to have a balanced diet focused on blood sugar stability, with regular meals combining protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs. We focus on reducing high-glycemic foods, refined sugars, and simple carbs to avoid insulin spikes that could disrupt hormone balance.

Omega-3s and omega-6s, essential fatty acids, are important for hormones. Fish, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts help hormone production and reduce inflammation.

Including flaxseeds, soy, and legumes in the diet can help balance estrogen, as they contain phytoestrogens. Cruciferous vegetables also support estrogen processing.

The gut is vital for hormone regulation. An imbalance in gut bacteria, called dysbiosis, can result in estrogen dominance. Fiber, fermented foods, and probiotics help maintain a balanced gut microbiome, essential for hormone health.

Estrogen and other hormones are detoxified in the liver. Consuming antioxidants, sulfur-rich vegetables (like garlic and cruciferous types), and enough water aids in this process. Reducing exposure to toxins, alcohol, and processed foods eases liver strain.

Chronic stress increases cortisol, which can unbalance hormones like estrogen and progesterone. Practicing mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and getting sufficient sleep helps in stress reduction.

Regular moderate exercise is key to supporting hormone balance by alleviating stress, improving insulin sensitivity, and helping with weight management. However, excessive exercise can lead to hormonal imbalances, particularly in women, making it important to personalize intensity and frequency.

Regular blood tests are crucial for tracking hormone levels, and dietary and lifestyle strategies should be modified according to how individuals respond. Continuous evaluation ensures the approach remains effective as the body adapts.
