How Can I Get Estrogen Without HRT?
Estrogen plays an important role in a person's overall health, regulating reproduction and fertility, healthy bones, skin and hair, as well as mood and energy levels. Unfortunately, due to illness or menopause, some individuals may experience a chronic deficit in estrogen production. In these cases, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help restore proper balance by providing supplemental doses of estrogen. But for those looking to avoid taking HRT due to the risks associated with it, there are several other methods to replenish the body with estrogen naturally.
Eating certain foods: Some foods contain phytoestrogens, natural compounds found in plants that mimic the effects of hormones produced by our bodies. Foods with phytoestrogens include soy products such as edamame and tofu; beans; nuts; grains; flaxseed; alfalfa sprouts; and certain fruits and vegetables like apricots, strawberries and broccoli.
Herbal remedies: There are many herbs that have traditionally been used to treat hormonal imbalances due to their ability to stimulate hormone production or block its breakdown in the body. Examples of such herbs include chasteberry, saw palmetto extract, ashwagandha root powder, red clover extract and wild yam root extract. Many of these herbs can be taken orally through capsules or tinctures or applied topically through creams or salves for direct absorption into the blood stream without being metabolized first – though it is advised you speak with your doctor first before using any herbal remedy as some may interact with medications you may be taking.
Plant-based estrogens: Certain plants produce their own form of estrogen called phytosterol hormones which have similar effects on cells as human hormones do while also carrying fewer risks than taking synthetic hormones via HRT treatment because plant estrogens can adjust according to your body's needs instead of giving a fixed dose like HRT would do. Plants that contain these sorts of estrogens include dong quai root powder and licorice root powder amongst others which can be taken orally through capsules or tinctures or applied topically on skin through creams/salves/oils for direct absorption into the blood stream without being metabolized first – again though advice from a doctor beforehand is advised if already taking medications since some plant based estrogens may interact negatively with them when taken together.
Exercise: Exercise not only helps build muscle but also promotes healthy hormone levels by increasing endorphins which aid in boosting moods naturally as well as stimulating estrogen production by increasing circulation in the reproductive organs where most hormone-producing glands are located (namely ovaries). Additionally regular exercise reduces stress which lowers cortisol levels – too much cortisol can interfere with production of other essential hormones including estrogen making it harder for body’s normal processes like fertility regulation work correctly without external help from supplements like prescribed medication or herbal treatments etc...
Taking probiotics: Probiotics are live microorganisms (bacteria & yeasts) known for having beneficial effects on health - particularly digestion - but they also play role in helping regulate hormonal balance by improving communication between cells in reproductive organs responsible for producing hormones like estrogen so adding probiotics into diets such as yogurts containing live & active cultures improves gut functioning & helps maintain homeostasis throughout other systems including reproductive system leading to better overall health benefits over time like reduction stress levels & preventing diseases caused due hormonal imbalances triggered elsewhere within body etc....
