Chronic inflammation could be the hidden factor disrupting your hormone balance and causing period problems, but understanding its signs and sources can help you restore easier cycles naturally.
• Inflammation is a prolonged inflammatory response characterized by an overactive immune system continuously releasing inflammatory compounds
• Signs of chronic inflammation include persistent pain, fatigue, insomnia, joint stiffness, skin problems, GI issues, mood disorders, and frequent illness
• Inflammation impacts three key hormones: cortisol (stress hormone), insulin (blood sugar regulation), and thyroid hormone
• When cortisol is high due to inflammation, your body may delay ovulation or not ovulate at all, leading to cycle irregularity and PMS
• Common causes include processed foods, sugar, alcohol, insufficient sleep, lack of exercise, environmental toxins, infections, and emotional stress
• Dietary changes like incorporating whole foods, colorful produce, and fatty fish rich in omega-3s can help reduce inflammation
• Regular movement, meditation, and quality sleep are foundational approaches to managing inflammation levels
• Adaptogenic supplements may provide additional support once the foundations are addressed
