What makes us different?
Get to know your hormones
-
Crucial for reproductive health and involved with every cell in our body,this hormone feeds our bones, heart, brain, skin, muscles, and joints. It controls inflammation, mood fluctuations, and our gut's sensitive microbiome.
-
Progesterone prepares the body for pregnancy while supporting sleep and feelings of calmness and wellbeing. Best known for its role in our menstruation cycle and pregnancy, it also supports sleep by promoting the neurotransmitter GABA.
-
Insulin regulates blood sugar, which is critical in energy management,energy production, and fat storage, especially around the belly.
-
Testosterone is involved in supporting our mood, driving motivation,energy, and muscle mass creation. It is also converted to oestrogen,which becomes more important during menopause as the ovaries shutdown. It also plays a role in blood sugar regulation, which is critical in ourenergy management, energy production, and fat storage, especiallyaround the belly.
-
The hormone involved in the famous "fight or flight" stress responseyou've heard about, cortisol affects mood, energy, and fat storage. When cortisol spikes, so does our insulin, which "switches on" fat storage. Thisis why managing stress is such a key factor in maintaining a healthy weight.
