20. Relief for the Symptoms of Early Menopause. Our estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels are constantly shifting throughout our life, and that’s normal. But as we age, the fluctuations and ratio between these hormones can become more extreme.

       1. A healthy, whole-food diet

       3. Lifestyle changes such as removing environmental toxins, getting enough sleep
       4. Reducing chronic stress
       5. Getting more exercise
