As we celebrate Women’s History Month, it’s important to focus on a key aspect of women’s health: Estrogen. Often referred to as the "female hormone," estrogen plays a crucial role in reproductive health, bone density, and even mood regulation.
Here’s where it gets tricky. Unbalanced estrogen levels can lead to a variety of serious health issues, like menstrual irregularities, infertility, and an increased risk of certain cancers. At the very least, having high estrogen levels makes your life harder, with symptoms like weight gain, anxiety, low sex drive, irregular periods, intense PMS, and inflammation.
So, what causes high estrogen? While hormone imbalances can have several contributing factors, there is one clear action that leads to high estrogen levels - Sugar consumption.
That’s right! Eating too much sugar can have a massive impact on hormone levels, and particularly estrogen.
It’s a vicious cycle. When you eat too much sugar, your body turns that excess sugar into fat cells. Those fat cells then produce estrogen. So, the more sugar you eat, the more fat cells you create, and the more estrogen you produce.
There’s more. High-sugar foods can lead to insulin resistance, which has been linked to an increase in circulating estrogen levels. Sugar consumption also causes inflammation, which disrupts hormone signaling pathways, including those involved in estrogen regulation. Finally, a diet high in sugar can alter the composition your gut microbiota, potentially affecting estrogen metabolism and absorption.
Here’s the good news. It’s never been easier to control your sugar intake and blood sugar levels! It used to be hard to know how any meal would impact your blood sugar, especially if you weren’t wearing a CGM (continuous glucose monitor). However, thanks to predictive AI, you can now see how any meal will impact your blood sugar WITHOUT wearing a sensor!
All you have to do is snap a photo of your food, and the app will tell you the macros in your meal, how it will impact your blood sugar levels, and healthy alternatives you can choose.
Not only does the app help you avoid spiking your blood sugar, but it also helps you opt for meals that include a balance of carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats to help stabilize hormones and reduce insulin spikes.
The January app supports hormone balance and overall health by helping you make mindful choices about your food. And the BEST part? It’s completely free.
