Whether you’re a stay at home mom, a working mom, a young woman, an older woman, a wife, daughter, sister, spiritual mom or woman, it’s hard these days to know what your role is anymore, right? Do you think God intended us to be more hormonal then men? Was that even a thought process when He created us? I am not saying that men don’t have hormonal imbalance especially as they age. I think there are a lot of sports cars out there that were bought in the mid-life crisis. But look around you and you will find at least 26% of women are on a pill for anxiety, depression, or just the general feeling of unable to cope with the stress of everyday life!
Children are gifts from God. But pregnancy amplifies the demands on the endocrine glands, which release hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, cortisol, thyroid, leptin, growth hormone, and insulin. These days let’s add in the stresses of juggling multiple roles and working outside the home. I can remember those with 3 boys and 8 years between the middle one and my baby! Getting up an hour or more before the kids to get things moving and to take a shower, get ready, makeup, hair, what that stocking has a run in it! WTH….why is the alarm going off again and now they are awake and Mom this and Mom that! Day starts!! Then you run from that time until you hit the bed that night. Just to start this all over again the next day….help me!
I like to equate hormonal balance to the bank reserve account. See our organ’s reserve is inherent to withstand demands such as kids going in all different sports directions, daycare, or the trauma of the playground, you know that everyday stress we call life. And when you’re young you have more hormones to bounce back to move and grove. You can rejuvenate and create balance. But as we age, we take out the reserve and forget we need to put it back with twice the deposit for same balance. Did you know that after age 30, organ reserves decrease by 1% per year! Wow, so by age 85 (women are now living to this age and beyond), organ reserve is a fraction of the original capacity. How about the next generation? I can see my kids living well beyond the 100-year range.
So, let’s get back to those hormones. Do you see the connection here? If you have great hormone balance earlier in life and continue, then later your reserve will be higher so the imbalance is less chaotic. I know because I have been there and continue to make those changes to restore hormonal balance. So those food choices, environmental toxins, attitude, aging, stress, genetics, even the chemicals of everyday life affect our hormones. Something to think about huh? Have you checked your bank balance lately?
