#NMN and #hormones are two important topics in the realm of #health and #wellness. One particular aspect of this topic that is gaining attention is the effect of #NAD on various hormones such as #estrogen, #testosterone, #melatonin, and #thyroid hormone. NAD is a coenzyme that plays a critical role in cellular metabolism and energy production. Studies have shown that NAD supplementation can have a positive impact on hormone levels, especially in aging individuals. #Estrogen is a hormone primarily associated with reproductive health in women. NAD has been shown to increase estrogen levels in postmenopausal women, which can help alleviate symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes and night sweats. #Testosterone, on the other hand, is a hormone primarily associated with male reproductive health. NAD has been shown to increase testosterone levels in men, which can help improve muscle mass, bone density, and overall physical performance. #Melatonin is a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. NAD has been shown to increase melatonin production, which can help improve sleep quality, especially in individuals with sleep disorders. #Thyroid hormone plays a crucial role in metabolism and energy production. NAD has been shown to improve thyroid function, which can help boost energy levels and improve overall metabolic health. In conclusion, NAD supplementation can have a positive impact on hormone levels, especially in aging individuals. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any supplementation regimen. #healthylifestyle #antiaging #hormonalhealth #wellnessjourney

Exercise is proven to reduce the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance and depression. When someone exercises, we also see an improvement in the hormonal profile and female reproductive features, meaning that some types of exercise have incredible potential to improve fertility. https://rpb.li/VdqgW Exercise Right #cardiovascular #diabetes #depression #hormones #reproduction #fertility

Did you know 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫 could be Female-dominant? Whilst doing my gut health studies, I became particularly interested in hormones. Because as a woman in menopause, let’s face it, ladies, it can be a train wreck if you’re unlucky. 🚂💥 And our tummy has a part to play. In our intestine, there is a group of bacterial genes (named Estrobolome) that metabolise and manage oestrogen. Gut where I’m heading? 🤔(oops bad pun!) Funky gut = Funky Estrobolome = overproduction of oestrogen. Outcome: you become 𝐎𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧-𝐃𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐭!   ❌ 𝐒𝐨 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭? Well, these symptoms might be your 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭;   Bloating. Brain Fog Fatigue, Insomnia 😴 Irregular Menstrual Periods, Low Sex Drive 📉 Mood Swings, Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) 😤😭 Weight Gain (noooo!) And Guys. You don’t get off the hook! In men, oestrogen-dominant issues can mean;   Breast growth Infertility 😱 Low sperm count, Loss of libido ❌ Oestrogen dominance can also be caused by high stress levels, too much processed food and not enough fibre in your diet 🍔 All influenced by our friend the gut.

Are you struggling with fertility issues or metabolic health concerns? Are you tired of feeling sluggish and out of balance? Well, I have some good news for you - exercise can be the key to improving both your fertility and metabolic health! Research has shown that regular exercise can have a positive impact on fertility by balancing hormones and optimizing metabolism. Let's break it down and understand how this works. Firstly, exercise helps to balance hormones by reducing the levels of stress hormones such as cortisol and increasing the levels of feel-good hormones like endorphins. This is important because high levels of stress hormones can disrupt the delicate balance of reproductive hormones, leading to irregular periods and ovulation problems. Moreover, exercise can also help to regulate insulin levels, which is crucial for metabolic health. Insulin is a hormone that helps to regulate blood sugar levels, and when it is not functioning properly, it can lead to conditions like PCOS and diabetes. By exercising regularly, you can improve your body's sensitivity to insulin, making it easier to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. But that's not all - exercise also plays a vital role in optimizing metabolism. When we exercise, our muscles use up energy, which helps to burn calories and maintain a healthy weight. This is important because being overweight or obese can negatively impact fertility and increase the risk of metabolic disorders. In addition to these benefits, exercise also helps to improve blood flow and oxygen delivery to the reproductive organs, which can enhance fertility. It also boosts the immune system, reduces inflammation, and improves overall well-being, all of which are essential for a healthy reproductive system. So, what are you waiting for? It's time to lace up those sneakers and get moving! Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise, five days a week. This can include activities like brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or even dancing. Find something that you enjoy and make it a part of your daily routine. Remember, exercise is not just about physical appearance, it's about taking care of your body and mind. By investing in your health and making exercise a priority, you are empowering yourself and taking charge of your well-being. #ExerciseIsMedicine and it's time to #EmpowerYourself and #TakeChargeOfYourHealth.

A – Aging B - Bone health C - Hormone Changes D - Depression E - Estrogen Decline Changes in hormone levels define perimenopause and menopause. When we are menstruating, the amount of estrogen rises and falls throughout our cycle. Different women will have different experiences. Athletes, particularly those competing at an elite level, may experience low estrogen and disruption to menstruation. As we enter perimenopause, the level of estrogen rises and falls in a more uneven pattern. It may change the length of menses and the pattern of ovulation. As we enter menopause, estrogen levels drop. As we age, the levels of two other hormones also lower: Progesterone and testosterone. Progesterone stops during menstrual cycles and after one’s final period. Testosterone levels peak when women are in their 20s and decline slowly thereafter. Testosterone is at half of its peak at menopause. We can eat foods that contain phytoestrogens to supplement our natural loss of estrogen. Phytoestrogens are primarily found to have positive health effects, but research is ongoing. Sources include flaxseeds, soybeans and edamame, dried fruits, sesame seeds, garlic, peaches, berries, wheat bran, and cruciferous veggies like broccoli. I replaced my formerly beloved half-and-half with flaxseed milk for my coffee and have never looked back. According to Healthline, “limited research suggests that a high intake of phytoestrogens may be associated with some risks and complications. These findings are mixed and inconclusive, so more human research is necessary.” As always, consult with your doctor for specific guidance.

It's important for all women to pay attention to their hormones and understand the potential long-term health benefits of doing so. A hormonal imbalance can cause a variety of issues, from difficulty getting pregnant to weight gain and more. However, testing for hormone levels is not as simple as it seems.

According to a poll I did on Instagram about pre-menstrual symptoms, 50% of participants were battling mood swings, 17% were feeling exhausted, and 33% were dealing with the trifecta of pain, exhaustion, and mood swings. I can certainly relate to their experience. When I was in my teens and early twenties, I suffered from excruciating menstrual pain. I eventually started taking the pill but that only masked the problem. I started experiencing migraines with aura, which meant that I had to change contraceptives to avoid any serious consequences. It was only a few years ago, when I started looking into natural ways to improve my fertility, that I started to understand that there were underlying reasons for my PMS symptoms. I still get the occasional hormonal headache and certainly mood swings are an issue now that I've started going through perimenopause. So I lean into my knowledge of nutritional therapy to make sure I get the right nutrients to support my health. Let me share with you 4 fantastic nutrients (and where to find them) to relieve PMS symptoms (plus some meal ideas at the end so keep swiping right!)
