From puberty to menopause, a woman's natural hormone balance can be affected by many factors. These include an unhealthy lifestyle, stress, genetics, chemical exposures, current and past health issues, pregnancy and childbirth history, and even her mother's health during pregnancy.
The phases of a woman's menstrual cycle depend on certain hormones (such as estrogen and progesterone) triggering one another as their levels naturally rise and fall. When that delicate hormone balance is disturbed, menstrual symptoms may follow. Fortunately, nutritional strategies, such as healthy eating plans and targeted supplementation, offer effective and natural ways to support healthy hormone balance through perimenopause.
