月经周期平衡

女性荷尔蒙周期

Research has shown that over 90% of women in the western world have one or more issues with their menstrual cycle balance. Infertility is increasing, and the only answer appears to be hormone therapy, or even surgery, which can lead to, often serious, side effects.

In traditional healing practices, it is thought that a woman’s periods should come and go with as much ease as the sun rising and setting. They consider it abnormal for a woman to experience any trouble with any part of her menstrual cycle. There should be little to no mood swings, irritability, pain, spotting, breast or tummy discomfort, skin breakouts, or digestive upsets, etc., prior to menstruation, and the period should be comfortable with little to no clotting and last no more than 5-6 days. They should be relatively regular, as close to a 28-day cycle as possible. Ovulation should occur every month, and there should be no irregular or excessive bleeding or a complete absence of a monthly period. If any of these things are occurring, traditional practice considers this to be caused by an imbalance somewhere in the body, with hormones and metabolism.

A healthy woman of reproductive age should be fertile. That does not mean to say that an unhealthy woman cannot get pregnant, but we can tell a lot about the overall health of a woman by her menstrual cycle. She may or may not be truly fertile, but there will often be signs pointing to imbalance or dysfunction in her body. These things can be addressed through diet and lifestyle factors and by choosing effective nutrient or herbal supplements.

在世界上血糖失调和代谢功能障碍发生率较高的地区，不孕症十分普遍。这包括美国、英国、澳大利亚和新西兰。代谢功能障碍会影响生殖生理，包括卵子（卵细胞）的发育、排卵和着床。它尤其会影响生殖激素的平衡，而生殖激素对健康的生殖功能至关重要。

荷尔蒙平衡破坏剂

Stress is a big problem for reproductive hormone balance because when we are stressed, our bodies deprioritise “nonessential” functions like reproduction, causing oxidation processes to get out of control. Research has shown that constant stress downregulates reproductive hormone production and/or throws them out of balance. Rampant oxidation can cause or worsen reproductive and hormonal issues. Research also shows us that reproductive hormone health is heavily influenced by our circadian rhythm—the daily, natural light and dark cycles and its chief hormones—melatonin and cortisol, along with leptin.

健康的肝脏对生殖激素的代谢和管理至关重要。肝脏的健康受到人体新陈代谢健康的影响。有研究表明，在新陈代谢失调和肝功能不健康的模型中，高浓度或再循环的雌激素可以刺激肾上腺，而不涉及垂体，从而导致肾上腺雄激素增加，体毛生长和其他男性特征增加。可以说，雌激素（目前主要是雌二醇）需要在适当的时候产生、发挥作用，然后才能摆脱困境。

甲状腺的健康也会影响生殖功能和新陈代谢。支持肝脏和甲状腺健康的营养素包括胆碱、铜、碘、硒、锌以及维生素 B1、B3、B6、A、D3 和叶酸。碘对支持所有生殖组织的健康尤为重要，而真正的维生素 A（视黄醇）对支持生殖功能至关重要。

Our modern lifestyle, with our high ultra-processed food diets, high stress, lack of sunlight, and exposure to pollution, chemicals, and artificial light, especially at night, could be to blame for our high rates of reproductive issues. Blue light exposure, chemical and air pollution, alcohol consumption, central adiposity, obesity, inflammation, consumption of refined sugar and seed/vegetable oils, medications, nutrient deficiencies, etc., have all been shown in research to cause or exacerbate serious metabolic dysfunction and negatively impact liver health (and other organs) with downstream effects on reproduction and hormonal balance. Hormonal balance means that the ratios of hormones to other hormones are correct so that the reproductive system, the menstrual cycle, and the whole body can function as they should.

如何保持月经周期平衡？

如果我们想要支持我们的生殖功能和月经周期，解决饮食和生活方式因素至关重要。改用全食物饮食，多吃营养丰富的动物性食物和传统烹饪方法、 应景 plant foods, will mean your body has the best chance to obtain all the nutrients it needs to function and regenerate. Appropriate exercise has been shown in innumerable studies to support not only our reproductive and menstrual health but our whole body. Appropriate exposure to sunlight, safely, throughout the day is essential for hormone regulation, and meditative and inner bonding practices, along with connection to the earth and other humans, have been shown to support our response to stress.
