7 tips for women’s health at any stage.
Supporting women’s health requires a holistic approach that takes into account nutrition, detoxification, hormones, and lifestyle. It’s the simple stuff that matters, and often the simple stuff that we skip over. Here are seven key areas to focus on to help your body thrive at any stage of life.
1. Does your body feel safe or starved?
Eating regularly and consuming nutrient-dense foods is vital to support metabolism and hormone health. For women, fasting should be approached carefully and appropriately, as too much restriction can negatively impact hormones and energy levels.
2. Are you toxin conscious?
Everyday toxins from microplastics and chemicals found in cosmetics, cookware, food containers, and cleaning products can affect hormones, the liver, brain, and digestion. Choosing safer options like glass, stainless steel, and organic, chemical-free products reduces this toxic load and supports better long-term health.
3. Do you aid liver detox daily?
Clogged detox pathways can disrupt many aspects of health, from digestion and hormone balance to skin clarity and energy. Supporting bile flow helps the body eliminate waste effectively, leading to better hormone clearance, reduced fatty tissue, brighter eyes, and clearer skin.
4. Are you ensuring you have sufficient minerals?
Minerals are essential for digestion, detoxification, thyroid health, adrenal function, and ovulation. Key minerals include magnesium, selenium, iodine, potassium, calcium, zinc, iron, and sodium. Ensuring optimal mineral intake provides the foundation for balanced hormones and strong metabolic health.
5. Are you having good, formed, daily bowel movements?
Healthy elimination is crucial for hormone and toxin clearance. Constipation causes waste and hormones to recirculate, adding stress to the liver. Ideally, you should pass a formed stool with every meal—or at least once per day. Supporting gut health is the first step toward achieving regular, healthy bowel movements.
6. Are you living in alignment with your cycle?
Women thrive when lifestyle and nutrition are aligned with the phases of the menstrual cycle. Considering your cycle when you choose how to exercise, eat, fast, rest, or even indulge can create better hormonal balance and overall vitality.
7. Do you eat protein every morning?
Starting the day with protein is one of the best ways to stabilize cortisol, support hormone health, balance blood sugar, and promote healing. Consuming protein in the morning helps your body feel secure and nourished, setting the tone for steady energy and resilience throughout the day.
By focusing on these simple seven areas—safety, toxins, detoxification, minerals, digestion, cycle alignment, and protein—you can create a strong foundation for health and well-being at any stage of life.
