Hydration Habits for Hormonal Harmony — Infused Waters that Support Women 40+

​Hot flashes, bloating, fatigue, and mood swings—sound familiar? You may only have some of these symptoms or may have all, but all of these symptoms can be from hormones that shift in midlife.

​These symptoms often worsen with dehydration. Water plays a surprisingly powerful role in supporting hormonal balance, circulation, and temperature regulation.
By adding nutrient-rich ingredients to your water, you can create simple, delicious infusions that help your body feel more grounded, cool, and balanced throughout the day.

How Hydration Supports Hormonal Balance

​Dehydration can stress your adrenal glands, raise cortisol (stress hormone) levels, and worsen hot flashes. When you’re hydrated, your body can better regulate your body temperature, transport nutrients, and maintain a calmer, more balanced state.

​Key Ingredients for Hormonal Harmony

Berries: Support estrogen metabolism and reduce inflammation.

​Chia seeds: Deliver omega-3 fats and fiber to support hormone production.

Basil and lavender: Calm the nervous system and aid stress reduction.

Lemon: Alkalizes & Supports Liver Detoxification
