According to Melbourne-based fertility expert and author of Beautiful You, Nat Kringoudis, our hormones are our ultimate ‘life hack’. ‘They control everything from when we wake and sleep, our menstrual cycles, moods and how we digest,’ Nat said.
According to Nat, when your hormones are out of balance, you may experience issues with all sorts of things – from your menstrual cycle to your mood. ‘We may find our appetite is out of control and everything is harder,’ she told Daily Mail Australia.
On the contrary, when our hormones are balanced, our body works with less effort. It’s simple to see, our hormones really need us on their side, to do what we can to support them.’
So how can you support your hormones?
Firstly, Nat said it’s all about re-assessing your attitudes towards sleep, diet, and exercise. This is where the 8 x 8 x 8 rule comes into play. ‘That is eight hours of work, eight hours of play and eight hours of rest,’ Nat said.
