Nutritional Strategies to Rebalance Your Metabolic Hormones

Hormones are one of the key factors that determine our state of health. As we age, our hormone production decreases drastically which has a direct impact on the diseases we develop. Furthermore, hormones are involved in your metabolism, so if you have had a lifelong battle with the bulge, then an imbalance in your hormones is something that you would want to take a look at.
Eating a nutritious diet that is right for your brain chemistry type and that balances your hormones, is one of the greatest steps that you can take on your path to longevity. You can learn more about what your specific brain chemistry type is in Dr. Braverman’s book The Edge Effect.
Basic lifestyle changes that you can make which have an overall rebalancing effect on your hormones include: getting min. 7 hours sleep, meditation, massage (the healing power of touch has proved greatly efficient in i.e. Ayervedic medicine) as well as exercise every day. Especially Human Growth Hormone is dependent on these lifestyle changes.
Dr. Braverman’s book The Edge Effect also includes lifestyle advice that matches your specific brain chemistry type with exercise programs that work to rebalance your neurotransmitters.
