1. Prioritise Restful Sleep
Your body does so much repair work while you rest. A calm bedtime routine — dim lights, herbal tea, and no screens — helps your hormones regulate and your nervous system unwind.
2. Balance Blood Sugar
Keep your energy and mood steady by eating balanced meals with protein, healthy fats, and fibre. Avoid skipping meals and limit sugary snacks.
3. Manage Stress Gently
Stress raises cortisol, which can disrupt other hormones. Take regular moments of calm — try breathwork, journaling, time in nature, or a soothing reflexology session.
4. Move with Kindness
Exercise supports insulin and mood hormones, but go gently — walks, yoga, and stretching can be just as beneficial as intense workouts.
5. Support Your Liver
Your liver helps clear excess hormones. Nourish it with greens, cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli or kale), and fresh lemon water.
6. Stay Hydrated
Hormones need hydration to move smoothly through the body. Sip water or herbal teas like nettle or chamomile throughout the day.
7. Nourish with Healthy Fats
Good fats like avocado, olive oil, nuts, seeds, and oily fish are building blocks for hormone production — don’t skip them!
8. Honour Your Cycle
Notice how your energy changes throughout your menstrual cycle. Rest when your body asks, and lean into your natural rhythm.
9. Connect and Communicate
Talking about your experiences helps relieve emotional stress and reminds you that you’re not alone. Connection is medicine.
10. Book Regular Reflexology Sessions
Reflexology gently supports your endocrine system, eases stress, and encourages your body to restore balance from within.
It’s one of the most grounding, nurturing ways to care for yourself through hormonal changes.
