The endocrine system is a complex system that we will probably never understand, but there are some basic things you can do to boost your body’s ability to create and balance hormones.

Forget about soy

One of the issues concerning soy is its high level of phytoestrogens – compounds that mimic estrogen in the body. Soy causes premature menstruation, leads to gynecomastia, kills libido, may cause infertility, breast cancer.

Magnesium supplements

While a magnesium and rich diet benefits everyone, it is especially helpful for women dealing with PMS, dysmenorrhea, infertility, pregnancy and weight management issues. Ever wonder why you crave chocolate before your period? It’s because your body is clamouring for magnesium, and ounce for ounce, dark chocolate has more magnesium than any other food.

Magnesium levels fluctuate during a women’s cycle. The higher the estrogen or progesterone, the lower the magnesium. During the second half of the menstrual cycle, when both estrogen and progesterone  are elevated, magnesium plummets.

This can result in spasm in brain arteries – a prelude to PMS and migraines. Increasing dietary and supplement magnesium can help relieve PMS related symptoms such as headaches, bloating, low blood sugar, dizziness, fluid retention and sugar cravings
