7 Everyday Habits That Disrupt Your Hormones

Did you know your daily habits could be quietly sabotaging your hormone health?

At Coastal Health & Vitality in Richmond Hill, GA, we see clients every day who are doing “all the right things” but still feeling off. Often, small lifestyle factors are disrupting their hormones behind the scenes.

Here Are 7 Everyday Habits That Can Disrupt Your Hormones:

🧴 1. Using Conventional Skincare or Household Products

Many products contain xenoestrogens—chemicals that mimic estrogen and throw off your natural balance. Look for paraben-free, phthalate-free, and fragrance-free labels.

🍟 2. Eating Ultra-Processed or Refined Foods

Processed foods spike insulin, stress the liver, and contribute to estrogen dominance. Choose whole foods that nourish your body and stabilize blood sugar.

😴 3. Skimping on Sleep

Lack of sleep raises cortisol and lowers progesterone and testosterone—all of which affect mood, metabolism, and more.

💻 4. Constant Screen Time at Night

Blue light exposure disrupts your melatonin, which impacts your sleep and your entire hormone cascade.

💊 5. Over-Exercising or Under-Eating

Chronic calorie deficits or excessive cardio can cause the body to shut down reproductive hormone production, especially in women.

☕ 6. Relying on Caffeine to Survive

Caffeine spikes cortisol and can burn out your adrenal function over time—especially if you’re running on empty.

😰 7. Ignoring Stress

Stress is one of the biggest hormone disruptors. Long-term stress leads to adrenal fatigue, progesterone depletion, and even thyroid dysfunction.

What You Can Do Instead:

  • Detox your environment with clean products

  • Eat balanced, nutrient-rich meals

  • Prioritize sleep and rest

  • Move your body, but don’t overdo it

  • Set tech boundaries in the evenings

  • Consider hormone testing for personalized support
