Hot Flashes at Night?

If your thyroid is worn out by nighttime, in the morning when it’s supposed to be the most active, adrenaline will have to take over. This wreaks havoc on your hormones and make you get hot flashes.

Hormonal imbalances lead to all sorts of issues.

Estrogen dominance in most cases is progesterone deficiency. These 2 hormones work in ratios.

Progesterone is made from the master hormone pregnenolone - and that’s made in your mitochondria.

So you need to fix your circadian rhythm to rebalance your diurnal and nocturnal hormones. All these hormones have a cascading effect.

 Working on your light environment, sleep and nutrition - and thus fixing your circadian rhythm - will help you regain leptin sensitivity, which is key as well.

Fix your environment and circadian behaviour, keep your bedroom dark and cool and keep the air flowing.

You may want to consider cooling devices at night, such as Chilipad.
