Time to Empower

So yesterday we talked about how Hormones get out of balance.  And maybe it sounded a little hopeless. So today is all about empowering with the knowledge of what you can do.
First thing that you can do, is to get knowledge.  Next time you go into the doctor's office don't just follow blindly when they prescribe medications, or recommend a treatment program ask questions and then do your own research.  Particularly when it comes to things like birth control, hormone replacement etc.  What are the side effects? Is it bio-identical? RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH.  It is your body, so you decide what goes into it.
Birth Control pills, progestin, are not bio-identical.  They can cause cancer.  Find other alternatives.
Next read labels!!! Read the labels on your food, your skin care, anything that goes into your body or on your body you need to read the labels.  What should you look for when reading labels? Hormone Free, antibiotics free, no mineral oil, no parabens, no animal by-products.  These are just a few things to look for.
Cut the stress, I know easier said than done, but take time for yourself, exercise, relax, detox, read a book, take a walk, anything to de-stress.
Get away from harmful, toxic cleaning products.
If you change the way you eat, research your medications, de-stress and pay attention to the toxins in your cleaning products you will go a long way to help balance your hormones.
Finally, you can take bio-identical Progesterone.  What should you look for in Progesterone Cream, well of course it should be bio-identical, it should be standardized, in a airtight container and not be based on mineral oil.  Why would you want to avoid mineral oil?
Check back tomorrow and I will tell you all about mineral oil and other harmful ingredients found in most of your personal care products.
