Maca & Ashwaganda
Our hormones are the messengers that direct everything our bodies need to do to stay alive. They are constantly working, sometimes more busily than other times. As we age, hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can naturally decline, which can have a significant impact on our health.
However, when it comes to our survival hormone, cortisol, our bodies will find the energy to create it no matter what. This means that cortisol often takes most of the nutrients, leaving little for other hormones. Therefore, it’s crucial that we focus on adding foods that nourish cortisol, which will also nourish other hormones.
If you research the signs and symptoms of deficient progesterone, estrogen, or testosterone, you will find that they often lead to similar health concerns. It’s essential to add nutrient-dense foods to our diet to nourish cortisol and address the root cause of any hormonal imbalances.
In addition to nourishing our bodies with the right foods, it’s essential to resolve the underlying issues that keep us up at night, cause us to sweat, or leave us tired. By addressing the root problem, we can help our bodies balance hormones naturally and maintain overall health and wellness.
Hormones play a critical role in our overall health and wellbeing. By focusing on nourishing cortisol and resolving any underlying issues that may be impacting our hormones, we can maintain a healthy balance and live our best lives. So let’s take care of our hormones, and in turn, they will take care of us.

These 2 roots are proportioned together to provide your hormones nutrients. I recommend 1 tablespoon a day. Sometimes having more stress, you may need another tablespoon in the evening.
Because herbs are a drug in the definition of “substance which has a physiological effect” you have to monitor it for yourself. Make a list of all the things going on in your body including digestion, headaches, joint pain, energy- right down details so you can see what works in your health care.
Many health powders have a lot of ingredients, but I find it may be too much. Your body has unique nutritional needs, and excess just goes to waste. Some are water soluble so they flush out but some can cause the liver to work harder.
Best ways to get the most absorption is to seep and heat Hormone Love for 5 or more minutes. This way your stomach and digestive system can absorb nutrient easily. You can also put this formula in honey and leave it for 20 or more minutes. You can use as a spread or any way you would use honey.
These herbs were used thousands of years ago during times of war for healing.
I had a cat scratch that was red, itchy and barely bled. So I put this blend in honey. Honey has great antibacterial properties. After 20 minutes I was shocked -yet not- and excited to find another advocate for the power of plants!
