Hack Your Hormones
The Power of Hormone Precursors
Hormones: They Control Everything!
Hormones dictate our mood, energy, sexual desire, sleep, appetite and how we respond to life’s stressors. They’re our body’s chemical messengers, they're not just for puberty, menopause, or the uniquely female experiences. No, these clever little chemicals govern our daily lives and our personalities.
Master Your Symphony of Hormones
Understanding your own hormonal dance and its effects is vital to taking charge of your health and well-being. It’s not a gendered issue either; men and women alike deal with these hormonal tides each day. Hormones don't just impact your body, they're the foundation of your personality, your temper and your motivations. When hormones are out of whack, it can result in poor sleep, depression, mood swings, brain fog, PMS, rage, changes in appetite and more.
Hormone Imbalances
Unfortunately, hormonal imbalances are becoming increasingly common. Our modern lives have sprinted ahead, leaving our hormones trying to catch up. Environmental toxins, our dependence on processed foods (which directly impact your hormones), stress and societal changes contribute to our bodies becoming less efficient at manufacturing and detoxing certain hormones and neurotransmitters. The worst cases of hormonal imbalances can derail your entire life, ruin relationships, turn you into someone you don’t recognise, make you feel utterly awful and make you behave in ways that you never thought possible. Hormones are not to be reckoned with, but they do need to be taken control of. Our review of the ‘WTF is up with my Cycle?’ Chapter from Hack your Hormones is a great starting point in helping you to understand you, yourself and a bit more you.
Reset the balance
So, how do we reset our hormonal balance? Mainstream medicine often resorts to synthetic hormones as a temporary fix, but it’s merely a sticking plaster. At WillPowders, we prefer to take a natural approach and address the root cause; by tracking symptoms, monitoring your cycle (if you're menstruating) and understanding your body’s own rhythm you will develop the knowledge and power to take control. Once you understand your body’s rhythm, you can provide it with the support it needs through diet, lifestyle changes and natural herbal supplements. At WillPowders, we have created a 'Hormone Support Precursor' range which has been specifically designed to address the issues that are associated with imbalances.
Precursors
Precursors are natural substances that support the body's ability to produce and detox hormones. They're not HRT, they're your body's natural support system, filling in the gaps that our Western diets often create. You can use the precursors in conjunction with HRT, if that’s available to you, and you should make sure to consider other medications that you’re taking too, as some herbs found in the range are mighty powerful. If you’re unsure, we would always recommend having a conversation with a well-versed expert in hormonal health or your GP, particularly with regards to Oestrogen Boost in cases of hormone driven cancers.
What is the WillPowder’s Hormone Precursor Range?
Oestrogen Detox - most people underestimate the impact oestrogen can have on men and women, and that some is good and some is bad. Too much toxic oestrogen, or oestrogen dominance, can leave us feeling grim, ragey and like we’re losing the plot. WillPowders has developed a natural supplement which has been designed to help your body lower oestrogen levels. Its key ingredients will support the removal of excess or toxic oestrogen via the liver and gut into the loo.
Oestrogen Boost
Once our Oestrogen Detox has worked its magic, our natural Oestrogen Boost supplement will replace the bad with the good. Oestrogen Boost’s key ingredients, Kudzu Flower and Wild Yam will not only support those who are going through perimenopause, but provide everyone who feels lacklustre and it may quash hot flushes and level out your mood.
Progesterone Support
Progesterone is the other female sex hormone and when it’s low, you can experience symptoms such as: irregular menstrual periods; headaches; difficulty conceiving; mood changes, anxiety or depression; trouble sleeping; hot flashes and bloating or weight gain. Our key ingredients, Rhodiola, Zinc and Magnesium will give you the natural boost to remedy the effects of being low in the progesterone hormone.
Thyroid Support
When your thyroid isn’t working to its full potential, you can experience changes in your menstrual cycle, as well as fatigue, temperature intolerance, weight gain, constipation, hair loss, brain fog and skin dryness. Our Thyroid Support’s key ingredients, Selenium and Coleus Forskohlii are designed to rev up your metabolism and help improve performance of your thyroid gland.
Insulin Support
This natural supplement’s key ingredients, Berberine and Cordyceps are designed to help your body reduce insulin resistance. Insulin resistance, or insulin sensitivity, is linked to type 2 diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. When your body cannot process insulin properly you get elevated insulin levels which can be detrimental to your overall health. Learn more about insulin resistance here.
Testosterone Support
Ladies, testosterone is not just for the blokes! If your libido is low, you experience feelings of weakness or exhaustion, low self-esteem, increased body fat, muscle loss, poor memory and weak orgasms, you could be low in testosterone. If you’re a man and experience low libido, erectile dysfunction, muscle loss, low bone density, depression or hair loss, you too could be low in this vital hormone. Our natural supplement’s key ingredients, Tribulus Trestus and Pregnenolone directly impact these symptoms to help you get back on track.
Take Control of YOUR Hormones
The power to feel like your optimal self is truly in your hands. You don’t have to put up with feeling exhausted, ragey or so overwhelmed you struggle to function. Remember, hormones can be your greatest allies or worst enemies. Prioritise what YOUR body is doing. It's about YOUR symptoms, not just how “normal” you may appear on a standard blood test. Take control of your hormones, and you'll take control of your life!
