Let's get started!
To treat your hormonal acne, we have to find out the root cause and what's causing your imbalances.
These things can be the reason for your hormonal acne:
Poor digestion/ low-quality diet
• Chronic stress (emotional and physical)
• Low quality sleep
• Physical activity level
- Xenoestrogens in the environment ( They combine with estrogen receptor sites and activate the estrogenic action they induce the formation of extra estrogen receptor sites. )
Inhibit the ability of the liver to excrete estrogens
Xenohormones are found in:
-Car exhaust
-Almost all plastics
-Meat from conventionally-raised livestock (non-organic)- They feed them estrogenic drugs to fatten them up
-Petrochemically derived pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides
-Emulsifiers found in soaps and cosmetics
-PCDs from industrial waste
NOTE: You can absorb xenohormones by ingestion, inhalation, and direct skin contact.
• Hormone therapy (the pill)
• Poor/bad diet
• Genetic predisposition
• Consuming foods with excess hormones (non-organic meats and dairy) As you can see, there are many root causes of hormonal imbalance, most of which are related to diet, lifestyle, and emotional health.
How do you know you have a hormone imbalance?
Here is a little quiz for you, count your yess!
Do you have sleep deprivation?
Do you have mood swings?
What about sugar cravings?
Do you have problems with digestion and bloating?
Do you have difficulty losing or gaining weight?
Are you always tired?
Hairloss?
Anxiety?
Food allergies?
If you answered more than one question with yes, you might have a hormonal imbalance.
