Hormonal imbalances are created by a combination of lifestyle factors — such as diet, exercise, environment, genetics, stress, and exposure to hormone mimicking toxins from plastics, makeup, cleaning supplies, and even residual pesticides in food.  Some of the major causes of hormonal imbalances include:

• Food allergies & gut flora imbalances: latest scientific research shows that the flora in your gut (microbiome) plays a crucial role in regulating hormones and inflammation, which is at the root of many chronic illnesses.  If you have IBS, SIBO, leaky gut syndrome, or a lack of healthy intestinal bacteria, you’re more susceptible to hormonal imbalances
• Weight gain or obesity
• High levels of inflammation caused by a poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle along with chronic stress
• Genetic predisposition
• High levels of toxin exposure including exposure to pesticides, harmful bacteria, parasites, viruses, cigarette smoke (even second-hand), excessive alcohol, and other harmful chemicals or compounds like lead and formaldehyde
• High amounts of stress and regular release of stress hormones like cortisol, paired with a lack of rest and deep sleep

Balancing hormones naturally is effective to treat the above issues, and can frequently have additional benefits like increased energy, weight loss, improved sleep, and healthier skin
