10 | The Importance of Balanced Hormones with Kait Entsminger

Hormone health coach, Kait Entsminger, graciously opens up about some hormone health struggles that she went through in her postpartum journey. She had postpartum anxiety with her son in 2018 that  put her into a horrible bout of vertigo. Kait says, “I had to heal my hormones because I literally couldn’t take care of my family, it was so bad. I was not myself.” Hormone issues are everywhere, but often people don’t make the connection that their health problems are stemming from hormone disruption and imbalances. I share how I have friends struggling with PCOS, infertility, weight gain, irregular and painful periods, anger, depression, cancer, anxiety, daughters with early puberty, stress, low libido, changing metabolism…  It’s just everywhere! I ask Kait why she thinks so many are struggling with hormone issues? And we talk about how modern society has introduced us to things we didn’t have years ago: such as processed foods, toxins in our air, pharmaceuticals in our water and chemicals in our personal care products.  And for women, the modern lifestyle is not built to support a woman’s hormone cycle. We have a great conversation about connecting the dots between health problems and hormones.  Typically each “issue” is addressed as an isolated thing, not connected to hormone imbalance and all the systems of the body.  Our body is made up of connected systems! We end discussing steps that someone can take to start balancing their hormones: Addressing nutrition - track protein and cholesterol (hormones are made up of cholesterol) Get testing - thyroid panel, hair/tissue/mineral analysis test, Dutch hormone panel Be mindful of circadian rhythms - limit blue light, especially early morning and before bed; get out in the sun Take it one step at a time, one decision at a time.
