Hormone Balance Diet

Hormone Balance Diet Restore your hormone balance with nutrition that's right for you.

Have you ever felt that even though you get enough sleep, exercise, and eat clean, your body still isn't as vibrant as it should be?
Some days your mind is foggy, some days you get tired easily, as if your body is sending you signals that you haven't quite figured out yet. But did you know that one of the main causes that is often overlooked is "chronic hormonal imbalance," a problem we're increasingly encountering in both men and women, especially when there's accumulated stress, insufficient rest, or eating foods that aren't appropriate for your body? And one of the most powerful ways to restore this balance is... Foods that suit each person's hormones: Hormone Balance Diet

Hormones…an important issue that many people don’t realize they are losing balance.

Our bodies have more than 50 hormones that control everything from energy, sleep, metabolism, to mood and reproduction. Hormones work in a network, and if one is out of balance, it can cause other hormones to imbalance.

Hormonal imbalances commonly found in Thai people today include:

hormoneMain dutiesCommon warning signs
cortisolstress hormonesInsomnia, waking up feeling unrefreshed, having a big belly, having a blurry mind, having a low immune system, and having less energy.
insulinControl blood sugar levelsEasily gain weight, crave sweets, and are often hungry after meals.
Estrogen/progesteroneMenstrual cycle, skinIrregular menstruation, acne on the chin or jaw, migraine headaches during menstruation
thyroidMetabolism and energyEasily tired, easily cold, dry skin, rapid weight gain or loss
MelatoninControl the biological clockDifficulty falling asleep, not sleeping deeply, feeling sleepy during the day

What is the Hormone Balance Diet?

Hormone Balance Diet is a nutritional approach designed to: Restore the hormonal system to function in balance. The main principles are:

  • Supplement nutrients that are essential for “building” and “cleansing” hormones.
  • Reduce foods that disrupt or stimulate hormones.
  • Adjust your eating to align with your body clock (Circadian Rhythm).

It is different from the usual “calorie control” or “clean eating” because the goal of this approach is: Restoring your body's internal balance isn't just about losing weight.
