Key Points:

• Always ask questions to your doctor about your health and concerns.
• If your gut is telling you that something isn’t right or not to take a certain medication, you should explore other options.
• Self-care is important for a fast-paced, busy life. You must time to relax to avoid imbalances.
• Taking just a short bubble bath or waking up earlier to self-reflect are easy ways for self-care.
• Finding people to rely on and lean on can help with your stress levels and avoid an imbalance in your hormones.
• Reduce or get rid of toxic loads in your home. This includes products such as bleach etc.
• You can reduce toxic loads in your home by using things like essential oil and water instead of harsh products.
• Artificial fragrances contain zero estrogen that mimics estrogen, so your body produces more and ends up imbalanced.
• By doing a detox you can reduce toxins within your body that are causing an imbalance in your hormones.
• You can reduce fertility in other ways besides birth control pills including condoms etc.
• You can use phone apps to track your fertility and manage your family planning.
• Knowledge is power. Knowing your body and ways to help your body reduces hormonal imbalances.
