Supporting Hormonal Health with Plant Well
A Holistic Approach to Detox & Wellness
Hormonal health influences everything from energy and mood to skin and immune function. A common issue, oestrogen dominance—when there’s too much oestrogen relative to other hormones—can lead to fatigue, irregular periods, breakouts, and weight gain.
One of the body’s key regulators of hormone balance is the liver, which breaks down and eliminates excess hormones and toxins. When supported with the right nutrients and lifestyle habits, liver detoxification can help maintain healthy hormone levels and overall wellbeing.
How the Liver Detoxifies Hormones
Liver detox occurs in two phases:
-
Phase 1: Breaks down hormones into smaller particles
-
Phase 2: Prepares them for elimination via bile or urine
This process depends on key nutrients such as:
-
B Vitamins (B6, B9, B12): Support oestrogen metabolism and energy
-
Zinc: Balances hormones, promotes skin health, and reduces PMS
-
Vitamin C & D: Reduce inflammation and support immune and hormonal function
When the liver is under strain, it struggles to clear hormones efficiently, contributing to symptoms like fatigue, dull skin, acne, and even conditions like PCOS.
Lifestyle Tips for Hormonal Balance
A few simple habits can support detox and hormone health:
-
Hydrate well: Aim for 2–3 litres of water daily
-
Limit alcohol & caffeine: These stress the liver—try herbal teas instead
-
Eat liver-friendly foods: Cruciferous veg, berries, citrus, leafy greens
-
Boost fibre: Chia seeds, flaxseeds, oats, legumes aid toxin elimination
-
Sleep & manage stress: Chronic stress elevates cortisol, impacting hormone balance
-
Move regularly: Walking or yoga helps stimulate detox pathways
