3 Essential Hormones that Women Should Know (Video Inside) By Deon H Garriques
Last September 2022, I had the honor of speaking at the annual Gaia’s Essence Women’s Wellness Conference (https://gaiasessence.com/). My talk was on 3 Essential Hormones that every woman needs to know about.
Please watch the video of the talk, it is only about 10 minutes long, but it is packed with great information about your hormones that IMPACT every woman.
Leave me a comment once you have watched the video:-)
Here is a summary of my talk.
The three hormones I talked about are Estrogen, Cortisol, and thyroid also called the Charlie’s Angel’ or ‘Three Big Hormones’ and they frequently drive hormonal imbalance leading to a myriad of uncomfortable symptoms.
They can create the perfect storm for some perimenopausal women is because they all start to affect each other.
Estrogen
Is nature’s Prozac, which helps your mood and keeps you on task
Levels can be high or low, which can result in similar symptoms
Balance is directly related to progesterone and they must be in balance (yin & yang)
Symptoms of high Estrogen include:
Can lead to estrogen dominance
Weight gain/water retention
Breasts tenderness/cysts
Painful periods
Endometriosis
Mood swings
Anxiety/depression
Cortisol
A stress hormone responsible for hunger, cravings, digestion, blood pressure, sleep/wake pattern, physical activity, and your ability to deal with stress
Based on studies stress tends to be the root cause of most hormonal imbalance
Cortisol and adrenaline are produced by the adrenal glands
Keeps us alive by raising blood sugar & blood pressure, regulating inflammation
The main job is to keep blood sugar at a normal level
Thyroid
It produces two main hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), and these two hormones affect every cell in your body.
The thyroid gland is responsible for regulating your:
Metabolism is the rate at which you use energy or you burn calories
Body temperature
Hair growth
Iodine is one of the key nutrients required for the thyroid hormone and it requires more iodine than any other tissue in the body.
In Good Health,
Deon
