Hormone Havoc: Key Hormonal Root Causes Undermining Your Kidney Function
Summary
- Your Thyroid and Your Kidneys Are More Connected Than You Think - Even mild hypothyroidism can reduce kidney function. The right thyroid management could slow disease progression and improve kidney health.
- Stress Might Be Scarring Your Kidneys - Chronic stress raises cortisol, which accelerates kidney damage. Sleep, blood sugar control, and adaptogens like ashwagandha can help protect your kidneys.
- Hormonal Changes That Can Make or Break Your Kidney Health - Estrogen protects, while testosterone and excess aldosterone can accelerate kidney damage. Phytoestrogen-rich foods, a balanced mineral intake, and strategic supplementation can support resilience.
