Hormone Imbalance and Restoration

Excerpt from the free downloadable Hormone Balance Guidebook 1

How do hormones get out of balance?

Hormones are incredible chemical messengers in our body that affect our brain, heart, bones, muscles, and reproductive organs and are an essential part of the workings of every cell in the human body. Hormones work best when balanced. However, hormones can become imbalanced.

Hormone imbalances are caused by:

  • Higher than average levels of stress
  • Poor food choices
  • Inadequate sleep
  • Taking synthetic hormones
  • Sedentary lifestyle (lack of movement or exercise)

Want to find out if your hormones are balanced?

How do hormones get restored?

Each individual has a unique balance of hormones. During perimenopause and menopause this unique balance can be disrupted. Getting back into balance and feeling more yourself can be a tough task for many.

I encourage you to read through my Symptoms & Solutions section of your free Hormone Balance Guidebook (for newsletter subscribers only) for additional information on achieving better hormone balance, as there are many things you can do on your own, including: adopting healthy lifestyle choices, reducing stress, and eating more nutritiously.

However, in many cases this just isn’t enough to help you feel better during this transition, and you need the help of a health provider to assist you in navigating this phase. I am available to help patients sort through the decision making process to make the best plan for their unique needs by taking into account these factors: symptom severity, general health status, personal medical history, family medical history and risk factors for breast cancer, heart disease and osteoporosis.  Feel free to contact me if you seek assistance with your hormonal changes.
