Natural Ways to Balance Your Hormones (Without Overwhelm)

Whether it’s the change of seasons or the everyday demands of life, it’s not uncommon to feel your hormones out of balance. Low energy, mood swings, restless sleep, and unexpected cravings can surface at any time of year.

The good news? You don’t need a complete lifestyle overhaul to support your hormones. Often, it’s the small, consistent habits that make the biggest difference.

Here are some simple and intentional ways to support your hormones naturally, no matter the season.

1. Eat Seasonally and Nourish from Within
Each season brings its own change and your body knows how to respond. Supporting your hormones starts with food that’s grounding, balanced, and rich in nutrients.

Think fresh, local produce; healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, and seeds; and warming or cooling foods depending on the time of year.

These kinds of foods:

• Support stable blood sugar (key for hormone balance)

• Feed your gut microbiome (essential for hormone detoxification)

• Help your body create the building blocks of hormones naturally

2. Get Natural Light in the Morning (Even When It’s Overcast)
Your circadian rhythm is your body’s internal clock and it has a powerful influence on your hormones, especially Cortisol and Melatonin.

Morning light exposure, even just 5-10 minutes a day, helps to:

• Regulate your sleep-wake cycle

• Balance Cortisol levels

• Boost mood and energy naturally

Whether it’s sunny or cloudy, summer or winter, getting outside in the morning can make a real difference.

3. Hydrate in Every Season
Hydration isn’t just for summer. Your body needs water all year round to support hormone detoxification - especially through the liver and kidneys, which help process excess hormones daily.

Drink more than you think you need, and vary your sources depending on the season:

• In cooler months: Opt for herbal teas, we love those from Flourish Tea or sip on a nourishing cup of bone broth

• In warmer months: Enjoy filtered water with a squeeze of citrus or coconut water for natural electrolytes.

• In the evenings: Wind down with a magnesium-rich drink like Hummble’s Calming Cacao.

4. Support Your Nervous System Daily
Stress affects your hormones year round. When Cortisol levels are high, your reproductive hormones often take a back seat.

Daily nervous system support can look like:

• Topical magnesium (like our Magnesium Bedtime Lotion)

• Gentle stretching or yin yoga

• Breathwork and intentional pauses throughout your day

Small, calming habits make a big impact over time.

5. Use Natural Topical Support
Topical creams like ANNA’S Wild Yam Cream can help to support your body’s natural hormone rhythms, especially during times of fluctuation such as PMS, perimenopause, or menopause.

With consistent use, many women find it helps to:

• Relieve menstrual cramps and spasms 

• Reduce occurrence of menopausal symptoms

6. Honour Rest (No Guilt Required)
Rest isn’t a luxury - it’s essential. Your hormones thrive when you slow down and listen to what your body needs, no matter the time of year.

Let yourself:

• Sleep in when you can

• Say no without guilt

• Create moments of stillness in your day

Final Thoughts
Supporting your hormones doesn’t require perfection. It’s about consistent, nourishing habits that help your body feel safe, supported, and balanced all year round.
