hormonal

Hormonal imbalances can manifest in different ways, depending on the hormone affected. Some of the most common symptoms include irregular menstrual cycles, persistent acne, hair loss, extreme fatigue, mood changes, difficulty losing or gaining weight, insomnia and digestive problems. In women, specific symptoms such as severe premenstrual syndrome, very painful menstruation or lack of rule (amenorrhea) may occur. These symptoms may be related to conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (POS), insulin resistance or thyroid disorders. At Vivea we work to identify the causes of these symptoms and offer personalized nutritional strategies to improve hormonal balance and quality of life.

Yeah, stress has a direct impact on the hormonal balance. When we are under constant stress, the body releases cortisol, a hormone that, in excess, can alter the production of other key hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This can cause menstrual irregularities, more intense premenstrual syndrome, digestive problems and chronic fatigue. In addition, prolonged stress can contribute to insulin resistance, making weight loss difficult and increasing the risk of SOP. To improve hormonal health, it is essential to manage stress with techniques such as meditation, moderate exercise and adequate feeding. In Vivea we help you balance your diet and adopt habits that favour a more stable hormonal system.

If you experience irregular cycles, very painful rules or severe premenstrual symptoms, feeding can be a key factor. The consumption of inflammatory foods such as ultraprocessed foods, excess sugar or alcohol may worsen these symptoms. Also, deficiencies in nutrients such as iron, magnesium and omega-3 may affect the regulation of the menstrual cycle. In addition, an too restrictive diet can lead to hypothalamic amenorrhea, causing menstruation to disappear. In Vivea we analyze your food and nutritional status to identify how to improve your diet and regulate your menstrual cycle in a healthy way.

In many cases, yes. Adjusting the diet, reducing stress and improving sleep habits can help balance hormones without the need for medication. For example, both the SOP and the hypothalamic amenorrhea could be reversed with an appropriate and personalized feeding to each situation, as well as adequate stress management and regular exercise. However, in some specific cases, the medication may be necessary and should be evaluated by a health professional. At Vivea we offer natural strategies to improve your hormonal health effectively and sustainably.

Feeding plays an important role in managing the SOP. A balanced diet with an adequate contribution of fiber, complex carbohydrates, proteins, healthy fats, fruits and vegetables, as well as a reduction of ultra-processed and refined sugars among other adaptations can help to treat SOP. In Vivea we design a plan adapted to your situation, helping you reduce symptoms such as insulin resistance, infertility and menstrual alterations.

One of the causes can be hypothalamic amenorrhea, which occurs when menstruation disappears due to an energy deficit, excessive stress or intense exercise. It may be related to very restrictive diets, low percentage of body fat or a high level of physical activity without sufficient caloric intake. To recover it, it is essential to increase the intake of calories, especially healthy fats, and to reduce stress. It is also key to improve the relationship with food and exercise. At Vivea we help you adapt your diet and habits to recover your menstrual cycle in a natural and sustainable way.

Yes, some foods can help reduce inflammation and relieve menstrual pain. Omega-3-rich foods such as salmon, chia seeds and nuts have anti-inflammatory properties that can decrease the intensity of colic. It is also recommended to increase magnesium intake, present in nuts, spinach and legumes, as it helps to relax muscles and reduce uterine spasms. Avoiding excess caffeine, alcohol and ultraprocessed food can also make a big difference. At Vivea we design nutritional strategies to help you manage menstrual pain naturally.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) may cause symptoms such as swelling, mood changes, fatigue and cravings. To reduce these symptoms, it is important to maintain a balance in the intake of complex carbohydrates, proteins, vegetables, fruits, healthy fats and nuts. In addition, we can emphasize zinc, calcium and magnesium to improve associated symptomatology. In Vivea we guide you to adjust your diet and minimize the symptoms of the SPM effectively.

For a correct hormonal balance, it is essential to include healthy fats (blue fish, avocado, olive oil, nuts, seeds...). It is also important to ensure a good contribution of magnesium, zinc and group B vitamins, essential for the production of hormones. In Vivea we design nutritional plans adapted to your needs to optimize your hormonal health naturally.
