natural solutions for hot flashes

Understanding Hot Flashes & Their Root Cause

Hot flashes and night sweats are common menopausal symptoms that many women struggle with, but the true underlying cause goes beyond simple hormonal fluctuations. In an article for Modern Mom, Dawn Cutillo, founder of BeBalanced, explains how stress, blood sugar imbalances, and estrogen dominance all contribute to the onset of hot flashes—and how natural hormone balancing can help reduce or eliminate them without medication.

 

How Hormonal Imbalance Triggers Hot Flashes

 

The Role of Progesterone & Estrogen Dominance

  • Chronic stress causes an increase in cortisol, which steals progesterone from the body.
  • Low progesterone leads to estrogen dominance, which worsens menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and weight gain.

 

Blood Sugar Fluctuations & Hot Flash Triggers

  • When blood sugar drops, the body triggers a stress response, causing hot flashes.
  • Certain foods, caffeine, alcohol, and stress levels can all make hot flashes more frequent and intense.
