Unveiling the Common Causes of Hormone Imbalances

Hormone imbalances are becoming increasingly common among women, with symptoms ranging from PCOS to period cramps. Registered dietician nutritionist and hormone specialist Lauren Papanos identifies three main causes of hormonal imbalances: malnourishment due to nutrient-deficient soil and increased consumption of packaged foods, the presence of endocrine-disrupting chemicals in our environment and products, and the negative impact of hustle culture and stress on the nervous system. To address these imbalances, Papanos recommends prioritizing nutrient-rich foods, reducing exposure to toxins, and managing stress levels.
