Normal hormone levels are key to so many important things in life: your appetite, metabolism, whether you maintain a healthy weight, how well you sleep—and (who could forget?) your sex drive! As we age, it's normal for our hormones to change a bit. However, keeping them youthful may help keep us youthful! So, how do we ensure optimal, balanced levels?

1. Healthy lifestyle, healthy hormones

   If you're taking steps to live a healthy life, you're also taking steps to keep your hormones at their optimal levels. Eat a healthy diet, get enough exercise and manage your stress levels to remain on an even keel. A focused supplement strategy with nutrients such as zinc, maca, DHEA, watercress, pregnenolone and nettle root may support your body's natural hormone production and release process.

2. Ways to manage the hormonal changes of menopause
