In part two of the Healthy Hormones series, Janell Yule dives deep into understanding hormones 3, 4, and 5—Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone—and explains their critical roles in the body, common symptoms of imbalance, and how to manage them for optimal health.
Here's what you'll learn:
Produced mainly in the ovaries and adipose tissue; after menopause, production shifts primarily to the adrenal glands.
Symptoms of imbalance (high or low estrogen) include hot flashes, weight gain, anxiety, insomnia, and more.
The importance of estrogen metabolism pathways (2OH, 4OH, 16OH), and their implications on health and cancer risk.
How diet, environmental factors, and gut health significantly impact estrogen levels.
Primarily made in the ovaries, with adrenal glands taking over production post-menopause.
Key symptoms of low progesterone include sleep disturbances, anxiety, menstrual irregularities, and fertility issues.
How gluten sensitivity can negatively impact progesterone levels.
Essential for both men and women, though typically associated with males.
Low testosterone symptoms include low libido, decreased muscle mass, anxiety, fatigue, and weight gain.
Factors such as chronic stress, insufficient protein intake, and inadequate strength training can lower testosterone levels.
High testosterone, more common in men taking supplemental testosterone, can lead to aggression, hair thinning, or insulin resistance.
Adopt an anti-inflammatory diet, removing sugars, gluten, and alcohol.
Balance blood sugar through dietary adjustments and managing stress.
Identify and reduce both external and internal stressors through lifestyle and mindset changes.
Detoxify your environment, reducing exposure to toxins from plastics, personal care, and household products.
Heal and optimize gut health, as it's deeply interconnected with hormone balance.
Janell explains the benefits of personalized hormone testing using at-home saliva and urine tests.
