What things can mess with your hormones and what can naturally help them get back in balance?

Hormonal imbalances commonly occur before and around menopause. 
Hormone replacement therapy can cause an increase risk in Breast Cancer, Blood Clots in the Lung, Heart Attack & even Dementia. 
So many women are seeking natural remedies. Whole food sources of Soy-like Soybeans & Tofu, may decrease hot flashes. Not advised to take Soy supplements. A complete safety study has not been completed. 
Calcium & Vitamin D supplementation can help preserve bone mass. 


TIP # 1:
LIMIT EXPOSURE TO ANTI-BACTERIAL PRODUCTS.
They contain a harmful chemical called Triclosan. It is alright to use them under emergency circumstances and do not have any regular Soap around, but limit using it to only when, you have to.

TIP # 2:
USE SUNBLOCK INSTEAD OF SUNSCREEN.
Sunscreens used chemicals like Oxybenzone. They actually take a little time, to fully block the Ultraviolet Rays, where Sunblocks contains minerals block U-V Rays immediately.

TIP # 3:
USE GLASS INSTEAD OF PLASTIC FOOD & BEVERAGE CONTAINERS.
Plastic containers can contain chemicals that can act like the sex steroid Estrogen.

TIP # 4:
GET A FULL NIGHT'S SLEEP
Decreases a man's Testosterone.
The less sleep that you get also increases other problem areas like strokes or heart attacks. Always get more than 6 and less than 9. Anywhere between 7-8 are best.

TIP # 5:
EAT YOUR BROCCOLI
Cruciferous Vegetables like Broccoli contain ISOTHIOCYANATES.
ITC'S have been shown to decrease the expression of Estrogen responsive genes.
Eat your cruciferous veggies to lift the effect of Estrogen in the body.
