The human body is a complex system with many different hormones working together in harmony. However, it’s not uncommon for these hormones to become imbalanced, which can lead to a whole host of problems.

There are many factors that can contribute to hormonal imbalances , including stress, poor diet, and lack of exercise. If you’re dealing with hormonal imbalances, a lifestyle coach can help you find balance and improve your overall health.

Lifestyle coaches take a holistic approach to health and well-being, and they can help you make lifestyle changes that will improve your hormonal health. They can also connect you with other health professionals, such as functional medicine doctors and nutritionists, who can help you address the underlying causes of hormonal imbalances.

If you’re looking for help with hormonal imbalances, a lifestyle coach can provide the support and guidance you need to find balance and improve your health.

Imbalance in what hormone?

Hormonal imbalances can occur in any of the hormones found in the human body, including the sex hormones (estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone), the stress hormone cortisol, the sleep hormone melatonin, and the thyroid hormones (thyroxine and triiodothyronine). Each of these hormones has a different role in the body and if the levels of any of them become too high or too low, it can cause a range of symptoms. For example, too much estrogen can lead to menstrual irregularity, skin problems, weight gain, and mood swings; too little testosterone can lead to low libido and sluggishness; and too much cortisol can cause stress and decrease immunity. The signs and symptoms of these imbalances can vary widely, so it’s important to work with a medical professional to diagnose and treat the underlying cause. 

How do you know if you have a hormonal imbalance?

There are several signs and symptoms that can indicate an imbalance in one or more of your hormones. These include fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, headaches, irregular periods, acne, and hair loss. It’s important to note that these signs could be due to other health conditions, so it’s always best to consult with a medical professional  if you’re experiencing any of these symptoms. Your doctor can do tests to measure the levels of different hormones in your body, as well as look for other conditions that could be contributing to the symptoms. This is why it’s important to get tested and consult with a healthcare provider if you’re dealing with any of the symptoms of hormonal imbalances. 

What causes hormonal imbalances?

Hormonal imbalances can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, medications, and environmental factors. Stress can have a tremendous impact on the hormones in the body, as can unhealthy eating habits. A lack of exercise can also affect your hormones as well as your overall health. Stress, too little sleep, and environmental toxins can also play a role in hormonal imbalances. It’s important to take a holistic approach when it comes to addressing hormonal imbalances, and it’s often necessary to make lifestyle changes in order to restore balance to your hormones. 

How can a lifestyle coach help you achieve balance?

A lifestyle coach can help you identify the underlying causes of your hormonal imbalances and create a plan for restoring balance to your hormones. They will work with you to identify the areas of your life that need to be addressed in order to restore balance to your hormones, such as stress management, healthy diet, and exercise. By focusing on these lifestyle changes, a lifestyle coach can help you create a balanced, healthy lifestyle that will improve your hormonal health. They can also connect you with other health professionals, such as functional medicine doctors and nutritionists, who can help you address underlying causes of hormonal imbalances and restore balance to your hormones

Formal Consultation and Blueprint

You’re super serious about your health goals and are eager to see results soon! Perfect!
A formal consultation is the first step in this process.

If you sign up for a formal consultation, you will receive a detailed questionnaire to fill out which I use to create a customised nutrition plan or formalised blueprint for you to follow.

I analyse your answers and the metrics you’ve recorded to define goals, calories, energy balance, macronutrients, deficits and surplus. I look at micro level detailing of your eating habits and patterns and suggest foods to add or delete based on your preferences, via a formalised blueprint.

The Blueprint will also include suggestions for eating frequency, windows and patterns. It will suggest pre and post workout nutrition options and recommend supplementation based on any deficits that show up in your questionnaire. Styles and frequency of training are also recommended.

The goal is to create a sustainable short and long term strategy to ensure you’re always in optimal health.

After creating the blueprint, a consultation call is arranged during which we go through the blueprint together. I explain macros and the role of hormones in overall health and take care of any comments, concerns or questions you may have. Once we’re aligned on the route forward, the Blueprint is sent to you.

This Blueprint will serve as the guide through your transformation journey.
