2 Simple Swaps that can Improve Your Hormone Health

Balancing hormones can be tricky. 


These two simple swaps can help you tip the balance back in your favor and improve your hormone health fast.

First tip: swap your morning coffee for a mug of warm lemon water. Squeeze the juice from one large organic lemon into a mug of warm or almost hot water. Do not add sweetener. If you want to amp it up a little, add in a teaspoon of raw apple cider vinegar for a boost of live enzymes and beneficial bacteria (just make sure the water is not hotter than body temp or the bacteria will die before they can assist you!).

Second tip: swap dairy, soy or almond milk for unsweetened coconut milk. Dairy and soy milk can directly impact your hormones.



Dairy milk is full of the natural hormones from the mother cows that produced the milk. People simply don’t need the added hormones, especially if your hormone balance is at a tipping point.

Soy milk is full of Phyto-estrogens. These compounds mimic estrogen and can worsen hormone imbalance. A little may be ok, but a lot can cause problems. Almond milk can be problematic for people with thyroid hormone imbalance. If that’s you, steer clear.

Unsweetened coconut milk is a source of healthy fats, some protein and none of the hormone sabotaging stuff that is in the aforementioned choices. Simple swap that can make a big difference without losing taste, texture or the enjoyment of something creamy and dreamy!

These 2 changes are really just simple ways to reduce the burden of toxins on your body. If you make simple shifts you can help get closer to reaching your health goals.

What’s the Difference Between a Raisin and a Grape? Water!

Did you know that our body is made up of around 60% water?   So proper hydration is vital for every function in our body. Particularly as we age because our body doesn’t retain moisture as well. The sex hormone estrogen makes it easier for our tissues to retain moisture, so as we transition into menopause and levels of estrogen drops, so does our body moisture. Dehydration can cause fatigue, headaches, joint inflammation, mood swings, brain fog and forgetfulness. Other symptoms include drier, more brittle hair and nails, skin that is flaky, dry, and itchy. Headaches are common, as are constipation and bloating. Sounds fun ha! Not! Do not wait until you are thirsty to drink water – if you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated. (Drink up!)

It goes without saying that we need to sleep in order to function at optimal levels. Sleeping well improves your appearance, brainpower, memory and other vital body functions. It also reduces your risk of gaining weight, feeling fatigued or developing chronic health conditions.  Both adults and children need 8 hours of sleep every night for optimal health.
