Balancing your hormones: How do you tip the scales in your favour?


If you've been feeling "off" lately, you’re not alone. From irregular periods to unexplained weight gain, hormonal imbalances can be a frustrating and often confusing, part of life. But what if you could finally take control and get your hormones back in balance in just 12 weeks? Sounds too good to be true? It's not! With the right approach, it’s entirely possible.

In this post, we’re breaking down the top 5 signs of hormonal imbalance and showing you how to naturally restore balance. Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, dealing with PCOS, Endometriosis, or simply trying to understand what’s going on with your body, there’s hope. Let’s dive in.


1. Irregular Periods: When Your Cycle Goes Rogue

The Problem: Missed periods? Unexpected spotting? Or maybe your cycle is all over the place, leaving you confused and frustrated. Irregular periods are one of the most common signs that your hormones might be out of balance. This could be due to stress, thyroid issues, or other hormonal fluctuations.


How to Fix It Naturally: Tracking your cycle is a great first step in understanding what’s happening with your hormones. Stress is often a major culprit, so focusing on stress-management techniques (like yoga or meditation) can be incredibly helpful. Additionally, supporting your adrenal health with natural remedies, diet and lifestyle changes can help. Did you know just a few changes to your morning can lower your cortisol levels across that day?


What Clients Are Saying:💬 Jane: "I was frustrated with my inconsistent periods. After a few weeks of working with Tori, I noticed a huge difference. My cycle is now regular, and I feel like my body is finally working with me."


2. Unexplained Weight Gain: When the Scale Won't Budge

The Problem: You’re eating the same foods, exercising regularly, but those extra pounds just won’t go away. Hormones play a massive role in weight gain, especially when there’s an imbalance in insulin, cortisol, or thyroid hormones.


How to Fix It Naturally: The key here is balancing your insulin levels. Focus on a diet that’s low in refined sugars and high in fiber-rich foods. Adding in healthy fats like avocados and nuts can help stabilise hormones and metabolism. Consider if you are eating enough protein for your hormones (it's more than you think!) Incorporating detoxification practices to eliminate toxins from your body and increasing metabolism will also support your weight loss goals. We look at a lifestyle and then prescribe natural remedies to help your body do it's job so you are supported at all levels.


What Clients Are Saying:💬 Lisa: "I couldn’t understand why I was gaining weight despite my healthy diet and exercise routine. After starting a personalised plan, I’ve lost the weight and feel better than ever. My energy is up, and my body is finally responding!"


3. Sleep Struggles: Tossing and Turning All Night

The Problem: Can’t sleep? Constantly waking up at 3 a.m. or struggling to stay asleep at night? Poor sleep is often a result of hormonal imbalances, particularly in progesterone and cortisol levels. When these hormones aren’t in balance, it can wreak havoc on your sleep patterns.


How to Fix It Naturally: Support your body’s natural sleep cycle by adding magnesium to your evening routine. It helps relax muscles and ease anxiety. Additionally, balancing your stress hormones through natural supplements and homeopathy can calm your nervous system, promoting deeper, more restful sleep. Remedies can support you to drift off to sleep and address the underlying cause of wake-ups (often organ function).


What Clients Are Saying:💬 Megan: "I used to wake up every night at 3 a.m., feeling anxious and wide awake. Since following Tori's guidance, I’m sleeping through the night and waking up feeling rested."


4. Mood Swings: The Emotional Rollercoaster

The Problem: Do you find yourself feeling like a different person every hour? One minute you’re on top of the world, and the next, you’re crying over an advert. Hormonal fluctuations, especially in estrogen and progesterone, can cause mood swings and emotional instability.


How to Fix It Naturally: Balancing your hormones with Omega-3 fatty acids (from fish oil or flaxseeds) can help stabilise mood. Stress management is key here try adding mindfulness practices like deep breathing or journaling into your daily routine. These practices will not only calm your emotions but also support overall hormonal health. Addressing the underlying hormone imbalance through testing and symptom tracking helps to determine where these imbalances are rooted so they can be addressed and balance restored.


What Clients Are Saying:💬 Sarah: "I was going through intense mood swings, feeling high one minute and low the next. Now, I feel more stable and emotionally balanced, and my hormones are finally working in sync with my body."


5. Acne and Skin Issues: Hormonal Acne Isn’t Just for Teenagers

The Problem: Hormonal acne isn’t just a problem for teens. Many women in their 30s and 40s struggle with acne, especially around their chin, jawline, and neck. This can happen due to hormonal fluctuations, often in estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone.


How to Fix It Naturally:Supporting your liver health and detox pathways can help clear up hormonal acne. Foods like leafy greens, beets, and cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower) can help detoxify and support healthy skin. Additionally, managing your stress and balancing your blood sugar will help reduce those pesky breakouts.


What Clients Are Saying:💬 Rachel: "I struggled with acne for years, especially around my period. After focusing on detox and balancing my hormones, my skin has cleared up, and I finally feel confident again!"
