Hormones, you know, estrogen and testosterone. We put them in the tiny box we received the information from during our junior high sex education class years ago and left them there. But did you know there are several other hormones that are significantly impacting how you feel?
On a scale of 1-10 (1= no symptoms, 10 = out of control symptoms), how is your menstrual cycle? If you’re entering perimenopause or menopause, what are your symptoms? Are there areas of “hormone balance” that are difficult for you? (Hint, it’s very hard to truly balance every hormone on every given day, but we can grow closer to balance!)
Some symptoms of hormone issues: infertility, difficult menstrual cycles, poor memory and brain fog, hyper or hypo thyroid issues, adrenal fatigue, difficulty losing or gaining weight, trouble sleeping, and/or mood swings.
Your body is always under a certain degree of stress, but in perimenopause and menopause your cortisol (stress hormone) sky rockets! High levels of cortisol leave us in a constant state of "fight or flight", which is the biggest villain keeping you from feeling your best. It’s time to learn more about how your body works and get started on the road to your revitalized self.
