Ten Hormone Biohacks Every Woman Should Know

Here are 10 hormone biohacks every woman should know for better health, according to Dr. Gupta:

2. Healthy meals: In the second half of your cycle, eat slightly more nourishing meals to support progesterone and reduce PMS.
3. Stay physically active: Add strength training two to three times weekly to stabilise blood sugar and prevent hormonal weight gain.
4. Sun bathing: Get natural morning sunlight within one hour of waking to reset cortisol and sleep hormones.
5. Check ferritin: Ask to check iron stores (ferritin) so fatigue and hair fall are corrected early.
6. Bowel movement: Maintain daily digestion with fibre, water, and movement to help excess hormones leave the body.
7. Good quality sleep: Protect hormones by sleeping seven to eight hours consistently, as sleep repairs hormonal signalling.
8. HIIT: Balance workouts by limiting excessive cardio and prioritising recovery, especially with irregular cycles.
9. Avoid plastics: Reduce hormone disruption by switching to glass and steel containers instead of plastic.
10. Manage with stress level: Lower stress daily with breathing, walking, or quiet time, as calm nervous systems support progesterone.
