@introspectivewellness: If you are overweight and struggling with sex hormone imbalance, there’s a good reason to crack down on your diet that has nothing to do with how you look. There’s an enzyme called aromatase and it converts androgens, like testosterone, into estrogen. Less testosterone equals decreased muscle mass, low energy, low libido, depression, and poor sleep. Adipose tissue, or body fat, is loaded with aromatase. So what drives body fat storage? High levels of insulin. And what causes high levels of insulin? Diets high in refined carbohydrates and sugar. Polyphenols and Omega 3 fatty acids are shown to decrease the activity of aromatase. Try incorporating berries, green veggies, fatty fish like wild caught salmon, chia seeds, and flaxseeds into your diet. #hormoneimbalance #testosterone #estrogen #insulinresistance #functionalmedicine
