Balancing Hormones Naturally

The Endocrine System is a collection of glands that produce hormones that regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, and mood.  If that system is not working properly, we can begin to see problems like inflammation, weight gain, arthritis, diabetes, and cancer.  And not only can the Endocrine System get disrupted by toxins we come in to contact with, but many of the foods we eat and products we use can drown our body with excess Estrogen.  This creates a hormone imbalance, which can lead to many health issues, with the biggest concern being hormone related cancers (Prostate, Breast, Ovarian, Cervical, Uterine Cancers).  And our bodies can’t fix this imbalance without the proper tools.

First, we need to detoxify our body.  Get rid of the poisons and damaged cells in the blood stream.  Then, we need to boost the immune system to help our body fight naturally.  And finally, we need to fix the hormonal imbalance and get our Endocrine system working right.  If we do those things, we will see a great shift in our body, like healthy weight, proper blood sugar regulation, decrease in inflammation, improved immune function, and so on.   That is why I took the time to research and develop what I believe to be the best combination for balancing our hormones and promoting proper Endocrine system function.

Co-Enzyme Q10- A substance found in the body within every cell. It’s role is to help convert food into energy.  Past the age of 30- CoQ10 levels decline rapidly.

• Promotes and strengthens immune health
• Essential in providing energy to the body at a cellular level
• Universal Antioxidant- neutralizing free radicals
• Responsible for synthesizing Adenosine Triphosate, the molecule that acts as a major energy source for each individual cell.
