Most women experience hormonal imbalance or changes to their hormone levels at some point in their lives. These imbalances are most common during the pre-menopause years, but they can occur at all points throughout a woman's life and not only by natural consequences. Environmental toxins and stress are also factors that can disrupt your hormonal balance.
Step 1
Adjust your diet. Avoid diets that are high in carbohydrates like junk food, vegetable oils, trans fats and soy products. This kind of a diet can encourage hormonal imbalances. Instead, make sure you are eating meats and healthy fats like butter and fish oils. Consider coconut products along with fruits and vegetables.
Step 2
Limit your consumption of stimulants and caffeinated products like soft drinks, coffee and chocolate.
Step 3
Do relaxation techniques and calming exercises to reduce the stress your body may be feeling. Yoga, Tai chi and meditation are the best methods to do this.
Step 4
Get plenty of exercise, even if you are doing yoga or other calming exercises.
Step 5
Consider taking herbal supplements like ashwagandha, Asian ginseng, dong quai or rhodiola, which are all known to help balance your body's hormones.
Tips and Warnings
- Talk to your doctor about possible hormone therapy if your efforts to balance yourself fail.
