Being Aware of Stress on Women's Hormones
Our path towards better health starts from the place of asking: How am I feeling overall? From this place you can practice listening in, which is a dialogue with your whole self. When we deeply listen to ourselves, we can put into practice the healthy routines our bodies crave.
Are you a person able to give birth to new life? Stress can have a way of inhibiting your special gift. Not sure whether stress is affecting your cycle? The best way to take care of yourself is to be in touch with a practice of Body Awareness and to take action when your senses tell you something different needs to be done.
Let’s revisit this idea of true Body Awareness, which is the practice of slowing down to take stock, feeling gratitude, and going with your gut by asking "what do I NEED to do for me?"
On the other side of being truly honest with yourself is the possibility of feeling better more of the time.
Let’s dive in, shall we?
We’re confident that, particularly if you’ve been on this journey with us these past months you’re starting to get a feel for reading your State of Being. We’re also 100% sure that experienced help along the way is imperative—especially if hormone testing is entirely new territory and particularly if you are working with any pre-existing/chronic ailments.
Your Hormone Management Testing Plan
- Step 1: Start by selecting and ordering your desired test(s). You will receive an at-home testing kit that fits your unique concerns and needs. No prescription or visit to the doctor’s office is required. Your test kit is delivered directly to your front door.
- Step 2: Take the test to establish the starting hormone baseline at the beginning of your plan. Consider developing your plan alongside:
- a licensed health care provider for medical conditions, especially for severe "out of normal range" results
- or a Health Care Coach for nutrition and supplements that will support your desired results
- Step 3: Develop a plan based on your hormone test results, establishing a one-year or more outlook.
- Keep logs of your intakes, and daily routines related to your hormone test results.
- Keep logs of your intakes, and daily routines related to your hormone test results.
- Step 4: After 6-12 months of actively working on your plan, take the same test again to determine your progress.
