Why Balancing Just One Doesn’t Work

Take estrogen as an example. Once estrogen has served its purpose, the liver must conjugate it, a process that makes it inactive and ready for excretion. Certain compounds, like DIM (diindolylmethane) found in cruciferous vegetables, can help the liver process estrogen through phase 1 detoxification, which we might assume solves the problem. Balancing hormones and gut health together leads to more sustainable results than treating each system in isolation.

Omega-3s, which include eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are essential fats known for their ability to integrate into cell membranes, influence inflammation, and produce compounds that help the body resolve inflammatory responses. But can the one or two capsules found at your local Costco truly deliver on their promises of vitality and longevity? The answer depends on the health goal in question.

Feeling off-balance, exhausted, or moody? Hormonal shifts can affect everything from your energy and sleep to weight, skin, and mood. Learn the subtle signs your hormones may be out of sync and how early support from a naturopath can help restore balance and vitality.
