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
