Here are 6 simple must-haves that you can implement in your health and hormone journey💛🍃

1️⃣Eating an anti-inflammatory diet:

It’s always quality over quantity. Make sure you eat good quality foods. An anti-inflammatory diet consists of a variety of good quality sources of protein, healthy fats, fiber, gluten-free grains, and high-antioxidant fruits and berries.

4️⃣Get your vitamin D:

Vitamin D deficiency can affect your immune system, bone health, obesity, and weight loss management. You always want to have optimal levels of vitamin D. Not only will it help with the absorption of nutrients but it also helps with inflammation and insulin management.

5️⃣Get good quality sleep:

Without good quality sleep, your body can’t heal. Having bad quality of sleep can affect your hormones. Two main hormones that it will affect are your insulin and cortisol levels. Figure out why you are struggling with sleep. Do you need to do a brain dump before you go to bed, take a bath, or journal? Make sure you also eat 2-3 hours before you go to bed.

6️⃣Eat healthy fats:

avoid inflammatory fats like vegetable oils and replace them with healthy fats like avocado, ghee, EVOO, wild-caught fish, and omega 3s. Don’t be scared of having these healthy fats! They help with inflammation, brain health, heart health, and lubrication of joints.
