AMCHARA’S APPROACH
TO HORMONE HEALTH
OPTIMISING HORMONE HEALTH
Hormone imbalances can affect men and women at any stage of life and can result in many challenging symptoms.
At Amchara, we work with you to tailor a nutrition and supplement programme that facilitates detoxification,
stimulates energy, aids sleep, rebalances your weight and ultimately aims to regain balance in all body systems.
ARE YOU EXPERIENCING ANY
OF THESE SYMPTOMS?
FATIGUE & EXHAUSTION
The feeling of chronic exhaustion and a total lack of energy is a common symptom of hormone imbalance.
INCREASED STRESS
Your stress hormones are finely tuned to allow your body to cope with day-to-day stress. But prolonged, chronic
stress can cause your body to be in a constant state of ‘fight, flight or freeze’ mode, due to high levels of the stress
hormone, cortisol. If you are suffering from chronic stress your body may not be able to ‘rest and digest’ adequately,
contributing to a number of health issues.
WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Changes in hormone levels can influence your weight. Rebalancing your hormones through positive nutrition and lifestyle
choices can help you maintain a healthy body weight.
EMOTIONAL HEALTH
A shift in your hormone balance can influence your emotional health. You may find you increasingly struggle with mood
swings, low mood, depression, irritability, anger, panic and anxiety.
BRAIN FOG
Brain fog affects mental processes such as memory and concentration. A change in your hormone levels can affect
cognitive function and rebalancing your hormones can help to restore mental clarity.
MANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS ARE
CAUSED BY HORMONE IMBALANCES
Your Amchara Personalised Health retreat experience can be designed with your personal hormone concerns and
goals in mind. You will be immersed in a supportive and nurturing environment that enables you to switch off, relax,
detox and kickstart your health journey.
WHAT ARE HORMONES?
You may be unaware of the large extent to which hormones control you.
There are over 100 identified hormones in the body and each one has a job to do. They essentially act as a
communication system, dictating how we feel, think, eat, move, metabolise, digest, sleep and function.
RESTORING YOUR HORMONAL BALANCE
Restoring your hormonal balance is a whole body concept involving changes to your nutrition, lifestyle and
environment. Our aim is to empower you to make ongoing and sustainable changes and access your body’s innate
ability to heal, both on retreat and to your life going forward.
HOW AMCHARA CAN HELP YOU BALANCE YOUR HORMONES
We will look at 6 key areas to help you balance your hormones. Everything we do will be tailored to your individual
circumstances and your health goals.
TESTING
Testing enables us to assess the key pillars of the hormone system - adrenals (stress), thyroid and sex hormones - to identify where any imbalances may lie and help you achieve optimal hormone health. Your Amchara thyroid test gives you a much more comprehensive understanding of your thyroid function than the typical tests offered by GPs. We use various sampling methods such as blood, urine and saliva to measure not only the levels of key hormones, but more importantly how your body is processing them.
NUTRITION & SUPPLEMENTS
Many factors affect your body’s ability to effectively absorb nutrients and some people may tolerate and digest certain food more easily than others. On retreat, we will tailor your nutrition with nourishing healthful foods which will give you the best health retreat experience for the short-term and the best long-term health outcomes. We review your current lifestyle and nutrition choices as well as look at introducing supplements to support any deficiencies or absorption issues. We will create a Personalised Health plan that works for you.
DETOXIFICATION
Poor nutrition and unhealthy lifestyle choices can lead to nutrient deficiencies and can overburden the liver, causing toxins to accumulate. Our team of Personalised Health practitioners will give you support to help you detoxify and encourage your body to cleanse and heal. We also offer long-term support through online consultations post-retreat to help you on your journey to optimal health.
HEALTH TREATMENTS
We offer treatments to help restore hormone balance, including lymphatic drainage massage, colonic hydrotherapy and reflexology, as well as a range of exercise and wellbeing classes, including yoga, meditation and breathwork.
LIFESTYLE & ENVIRONMENT
Prolonged stress, lack of sleep, a sedentary lifestyle and exposure to environmental toxins can all lead to a disruption of your hormone levels. We will help you on your journey to rebalance your hormones by creating a Personalised Health plan to provide you with strategies to facilitate restful sleep, manage your stress levels and make positive lifestyle changes.
GENETICS & EPIGENETICS
Understanding your genetic make-up can enable us to look at your susceptibility to certain hormone-related conditions. Epigenetics can turn your genes on or off, affecting hormone balance, and this can be affected by aspects of your environment, nutrition and lifestyle. Our approach is to explore your genetic make-up through tests and investigate factors that may be influencing how your genes are expressed, in order to optimise your wellness journey.

The best decision I ever made was to go to Amchara
The best decision I ever made was to go to Amchara for my birthday. The staff and fellow guests were so lovely. Great facilities, good selection of juices and vegan food. After the initial detox, I started to feel full of energy and my cravings had gone.

IT WAS FANTASTIC – CALM, HEALTHY FOOD (DELICIOUS)..
Went to have a real break and get away from everything, it was fantastic – calm, healthy food (delicious) and wonderful walks and yoga. Very comfortable and I feel SO much better after only one week – thank you Amchara – really hope I will be able to come again.
