5 Gentle Ways to Support Your Hormones This Week
Mascari, Brooke - July 12th, 2025
Your hormones are like internal messengers—constantly working to regulate your energy, sleep, mood, metabolism, cycle, and more. But stress, processed foods, toxins, and even a lack of rest can throw this delicate system off balance.
Here are 5 simple, gentle ways to begin supporting your hormones this week—no overwhelm, no perfection required.
1. Start Your Morning with Warm Lemon Water
Before your coffee or tea, hydrate your body with warm water and fresh lemon juice. This simple practice helps:
Stimulate digestion and liver detoxification
Gently support gut health (a key to hormone balance!)
Alkalize the body and wake up your system naturally
Bonus: Add a pinch of pink salt for extra minerals.
2. Balance Your Blood Sugar at Each Meal
Blood sugar spikes and crashes create cortisol chaos, which impacts your sleep, mood, and cycle.
To stabilize:
Always include protein + fat + fiber at meals and snacks.
Avoid skipping meals or having sugar-heavy breakfasts.
Try cinnamon, fenugreek, or bitter greens to support glucose response.
🌸 Balanced blood sugar = happier hormones.
3. Get Outside and Breathe Deeply
Sunshine and fresh air reset your circadian rhythm, support melatonin (sleep hormone), and reduce stress.
Even 10 minutes a day of walking, gardening, or grounding barefoot in grass can:
Lower cortisol levels
Regulate your nervous system
Boost vitamin D (crucial for hormone and immune health)
4. Support Your Liver & Gut (Your Hormone Detox Team)
Hormones like estrogen are metabolized through your liver and eliminated via your digestive system.
Gentle detox daily with:
Triphala or CCF tea (Cumin, Coriander, Fennel)
Bitter greens like dandelion, arugula, or mustard greens
Warm, cooked meals that are easier to digest

5. Honor Your Need for Rest (It’s Not Lazy—it’s Healing)
Deep rest is where your body repairs, digests, and balances hormones.
This week, give yourself:
A bedtime goal (ideally before 10 pm)
A calming evening routine (herbal tea, journal, stretch, prayer/meditation)
Permission to say no to things that drain your energy
You’re allowed to slow down. Your hormones will thank you.
Remember: You don’t need to do everything at once. Start with one thing and notice how your body responds. You’re building a new relationship with yourself—one of trust, nourishment, and empowerment.
