The endocrine system is a complex system that affects the above, An Experienced Clinical Reflexologist can help you identify if this system is out of balance and work with a programme to maximise your bodies chance of optimum efficiency within this system.

Some nutritional tips which will also help you include :

~Leptin is a master hormone, and if it is out of balance no other hormones will balance well. The below advice will help with that but also you need to take in less fortified , processed and sugary food. Eat more whole grains and start the day on proteins and healthy fats.

~ Limit Caffeine intake as it can stress the endocrine system.

~ Sleep – If you aren’t getting enough sleep, your hormonal system will not be balanced.

~ Avoid fats such as vegetable oil, peanut oil, canola oil, soybean oil, margarine, shortening or other chemically altered fats. Evidence suggests that this can spur problems like endometriosis and PCOS. Choose fats like coconut oil, real butter, olive oil (don’t heat!) and eat lots of high Omega-3 fish

~Non strenuous exercise – If you have hormone imbalance, intense exercise will stress the body and actually prevent weight loss. Focus on relaxing exercises like Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Walking, Yoga and Swimming.

~ Avoid Toxins such as pesticides, plastics, household chemicals as much as possible as they can mimic hormones and disrupt the system. If you have hormone imbalance or are struggling to get pregnant, avoiding these toxins is key. Cook in glass or non-coated metal pans (no non-stick or teflon) and avoid heating or storing foods in plastic. Find organic produce and meat whenever possible and don’t use chemical pesticides or cleaners.

 

~Coconut Oil is amazing for hormone health. It provides the necessary building blocks for hormone production, can assist weight loss, reduce inflammation, and even has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties.
