What are the 5 top tips to getting rid of hormonal bloating in a natural way and fast? Is there a solution that gets to the root of the issue without having to rely on synthetic or unnatural ways to keep your body in balance? Let’s dive into ways that get to the root of the issue.
Detoxify for Hormonal Bloating
First we need to think about the powerhouse in our body that helps clean out the toxins. Cleaning up our liver and reducing the amount of inflammation coming in is paramount to healing.
Get yourself on a liver herb product like livatrex or other herbal bitters to get help with this. The liver is taking on all the toxins that come into our body. The liver has a major role in eliminating hormonal bloating. We have to be consistent with supporting the liver by eating whole organic low glycemic foods.
Other ways to detox are to cut out the foods that are not serving us. Here is a good list to consider staying away from if you want to reduce inflammation which contributes to a bloated belly.
- Processed foods
- Genetically Modified Foods
- Sugar in all its forms
- Conventional Dairy
Heal Your Gut to Combat Hormonal Bloating
Heal Your gut by sealing it and practicing intermittent fasting so that you give your body time to repair and heal.
How do you seal it? Clean water, Oxy Powder, Probiotics, L Glutamine are some helpful ways to do this.
Consider warming broths with collagen and intermittent fasting to heal your gut and reduce inflammatory bloating.
You can also work to heal your gut by food combining properly not mixing carbs and protein for example. This makes your body work much harder than if you had a protein and non starchy vegetable instead.
Blood Sugar Stability
It may sound silly but this is very crucial to keeping hormonal bloating in check. When we let our body go on a roller coaster ride with glucose spikes from unhealthy food choices our blood sugar gets effected and leads to hormone challenges like a big belly.
If you can eat one or two meals per day spaced out by 6 hours that helps. If you can eat a more ketogenic diet this too will help. Lastly if you are eating carbohydrates save it for the end of your meal. Start with the fibrous greens in your meal first
Then move to the protein and fat and then to carbohydrates. This has been proven to show less spikes of glucose in your blood.
Top Supplements for Hormonal Bloating
Concentrated, Organic Cruciferous Veggies can provide DIM and I3C which will help you get rid of Xeno-Estrogens.
This is a huge player to combat bloating. If you are living on this planet chances are you have been touched by xeno estrogens that mimic the real estrogen in your body. Some say we eat about a credit card worth of plastic a week! This is from ingesting small bits of plastic through it seeping into our diet and water.
When these hormone mimickers get into the receptors they mess up your hormones delicate balance. Eating 8 cups a day is not feasible for most people. Consider a supplement to help. But one way to get this amount is to eat a very large salad as your main meal with some sort of protein source on top and a zero sugar dressing with health fats.
If you take DIM straight you can easily get headaches so to avoid it either start slow or go with this supplement to experience the benefits of DIM without the awful side effects. What happens is the hormonal balance effects your brain and it can trigger headaches. Not to mention the glucose spikes.
Fiber is key to pulling bad toxins out of the body and clearing bloating. As I mentioned eating the fiber in your meal first is essential. Not only does it pull out the toxins but it helps stabilize the blood sugar.
I like Flax and Chia as an added food supplement because they also have Omega 3’s which helps reduce inflammation.
Other Omega 3 sources are Wild Caught Fish Eggs and plant sourced DHA.
Consider a Vitamin D supplement as this is a hormone in and of itself and does wonders for the immune system, reduces inflammation and overall health. The key here that I love is that Vitamin D can help lessen high cortisol which helps to ease inflammation and stress.
Supporting your adrenal glands with Ashwaganda and holy basil can be great for easing stress. The adrenals are very much linked to your gut and how thin or bulging it gets. Stress is a huge fact
or in our overall health. One other key supplement if you have read this far is Women’s Balance by Gaia Herbs.
Reduce Emotional Stress
Exercise can help reduce our stress. Gentle lymph cleansing exercises like walking, rebounding and tai chi are wonderful options to assist in the cleansing out of toxins and to keep circulation moving through the limbs.
One thing is for sure, is that we often look to a supplement or a physical detox to get rid of our health challenges. But our emotional state can effect our hormones just the same.
If we have stress and anxiety loops our body will be in a state of high cortisol all too often. This will negatively impact our hormones.
We can work too reduce this with things that bring us joy. We can also consider investing time in uncovering these negative patterns and moving into a healthier version of ourselves.
In a nut shell these are my top tips to get rid of hormonal bloating. Please let me know how you are getting along and if you have any questions.
