Hormones, Summer & Your Nervous Systemâs Quiet Whispers
How has your week been?
Itâs getting warm out there, isnât it? This time of year often brings an invisible pressure to stay active, keep up, and push throughâeven when our bodies whisper that they need something else.
đ„ When âHealthy Habitsâ Arenât Enough
A dear friend of mine, living in Dubai, recently reached out. Despite her incredibly health-focused lifestyleâworking out three times a week, walking 10km, eating well, and staying hydratedâshe was struggling with:
-
Hot flashes
-
Mood swings
-
Weight gain
- Night Sweat
After having her ovaries removed, she was surprised these symptoms persisted. But what she didnât realize was that estrogen is still producedâthrough fat, adrenal glands, and even environmental exposures. And when you combine physical overexertion, emotional stress, alcohol, and extreme heat, it creates a perfect storm of internal imbalance.
In Chinese medicine, we call this âexcess internal heat,â and it can overstimulate the nervous system and hormones, throwing your whole system off.
đž Why Slowing Down Is Sometimes the Medicine
Healing doesnât always mean doing more. Sometimes, it means softening. Creating space. Listening.
Together, we shifted her approach gently:
-
Swapped intense workouts for breathwork and yin yoga
-
Introduced cooling herbs and nourishing, light meals
-
Added reflexology and craniosacral therapy to calm her body
-
Included ear acupressure and ear seeds, which she said felt like âa quiet reset button for my brain.â
âš One client recently shared:
“After your session, I felt like my system exhaled. I didnât even know I was holding so much tension until it melted away.”
