Balancing hormones as a woman can be achieved through a combination of a healthy diet, exercise, stress management, and proper sleep. Consulting with a healthcare provider for personalized hormone therapy options like bioidentical hormones or lifestyle changes can also help balance hormones.

Natural estrogen replacements include phytoestrogens, found in foods like soy, flaxseeds, and legumes, and bioidentical hormones like estradiol, which are derived from plant sources and mimic the body’s natural estrogen.

Women with a history of breast cancer, blood clots, liver disease, or certain other health conditions should avoid estrogen replacement therapy. A healthcare provider can assess individual risks.
