Here are five powerful ways to start balancing your hormones and restore balance within your body.
START BALANCING YOUR HORMONES WITH THESE STEPS
1️⃣ Nourish with leafy greens: incorporating more leafy greens into your diet can have a profound impact on hormone balance.
These nutrient-packed greens, such as spinach, kale, and Swiss chard, are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support hormonal health.
2️⃣ Embrace daily sunshine: getting regular sunlight exposure is crucial for hormonal balance.
Spend at least 15 minutes outdoors each day to soak up the natural vitamin D from the sun.
This not only helps regulate hormones but also boosts mood and overall well-being.
3️⃣ Connect with nature: nature has a way of bringing harmony to our bodies and minds.
Make it a priority to spend time in nature, whether it's a walk in the park, hiking, or simply sitting under a tree.
The serene environment can help reduce stress and promote hormonal equilibrium.
4️⃣ Deep belly breaths: taking deep belly breaths throughout the day can activate the relaxation response and help regulate your hormones.
Practice deep breathing exercises by inhaling slowly through your nose, allowing your belly to rise, and exhaling fully through your mouth.
5️⃣ Cultivate mindfulness: carve out time each day for a mindful activity that brings you joy and tranquillity.
It could be meditation, yoga, journaling, or simply savouring a cup of herbal tea.
Mindfulness helps reduce stress, promotes emotional well-being, and supports hormonal balance.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Remember, these steps are not only beneficial for your hormones but also for your overall well-being.
Start incorporating these practices today and experience the transformative power of balanced hormones in your life! 🌸💫

Why You Should Avoid Horror Flicks For Your Hormone Health
WHY I AVOID HORROR FLICKS FOR MY HORMONE HEALTH
22 / MARCH / 2023
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Why I avoid horror flicks (for my health) …. And not just because I’m a scaredy-cat.
Even though I might actually hate scary movies because they are well... SCARY haha, there's another reason I avoid them, and that is to do with taking care of my nervous system.
HOW HORROR FLICKS EFFECT YOUR HORMONES
Scary movies or tv shows send your body into fight or flight response - activating your sympathetic nervous system and increasing the cortisol circulating around your body due to the sensory overload you're experiencing
This then wreaks havoc on your hormones because unfortunately your body isn't aware you're watching the scary movie for 'fun' and genuinely thinks your life is in danger. So it does all it can to protect you
Scary movies aren't the only thing that puts us into sensory overload, we are bombarded with these things on a daily basis including:
- loud noises like phones ringing, and honking cars
- rapid visual effects in movies + games, flickering of screens
- radio + EMF waves
- fluorescent lighting
- extreme work hours + workload
… and of course the violence in things like scary movies
You may be prone to experiencing sensory overload if you are consistently doing any of the following:
- listening to music at a high volume whilst training
- watch or play fast-moving or violent movies/video games often or before bed
- stare at a computer screen for a large portion of your day
- always have music on in the background
- constantly exposed to fluorescent lighting throughout the day
This not only affects our hormones, but our neurotransmitters, particularly one called GABA which is what helps keep us calm and our anxiety at bay
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
If this is resonating, then here's what you can do...
1. See what of the sensory overload you can reduce/remove
2. Create time and space for silence and stillness throughout your day
3. Consider adding in some GABA supporting compounds such as lemon extract, passionflower extract or CBD oil
Where will you start with boosting your immune system? Let me know in the comments below.
Yours in Health & Happiness,
Sheree xo
