Hormones Are Interconnected Messengers
- Hormones act as messengers that influence mental, emotional, and physical health in interconnected ways.
- Imbalances often coexist and involve multiple hormones like estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and insulin.
Start With Lifestyle Changes
- Prioritize lifestyle changes: nourish your body, sleep well, manage stress, and move mindfully.
- Build habits gradually instead of overhauling your routine all at once to avoid burnout.
Magnesium Is Essential for Health
- Most people benefit from magnesium supplementation due to dietary insufficiency and depletion from stress.
- Choose quality forms like magnesium glycinate for sleep and mood or magnesium citrate for digestive support.
