The Cause and Effect of Hormone Imbalance, You’re not Crazy After all!

Hormone imbalance can occur at any stage a woman’s life, from her early teens to her senior years. Sadly, many women have been conditioned to believe that the most common symptoms of hormone imbalance, such as cramps, mood swings, acne and fatigue simply come with the territory of being female.

Let’s take a look at what hormonal imbalance can lead to. With inadequate levels of estrogen, you may experience hot flashes, fatigue and insomnia. But low estrogen can lead to osteoporosis and heart disease. Throw in low testosterone and you double your risk of osteoporosis and heart disease. And if your progesterone levels are also low, add on high blood pressure, and risk of developing endometrial cancer.

Are you experiencing greater than normal hair growth in unwanted areas? Or even more disturbing, are you experiencing hair loss? Is your skin dull, dry, or sagging? Do you have more acne than a teenager? All of these conditions may be directly related to your hormones.

When estrogen levels drop in a woman, her skin can start to sag and wrinkle. Estrogen is like the glue that holds it all together. It’s also the hormone that gives your face that healthy glow. Inadequate estrogen has health consequences bringing with it an increased risk of osteoporosis, heart disease as well as mood and memory problems.

So, what risks do women face with imbalanced hormones? For a woman with low Estrogen levels, she increases her risk for osteoporosis and heart disease. If she has high Testosterone levels, she increases her risk of endometrial cancer and blood sugar disorders. Throw the two together, low Estrogen levels with high Testosterone and she doubles her risk of heart disease. And that’s just the beginning.

Are you one of the estimated 40 million Americans who suffer from chronic headaches? Headaches are one of the leading causes of missed work or school. Maybe you’ve tried every over the counter remedy and even stronger prescriptions, but you still suffer. It may be connected to a hormone imbalance.

Women who experience hormonal fluctuations often suffer with headaches or migraines just prior to the onset of menses, when there is a natural drop in progesterone levels.

If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms and are concerned about health risks, then there is a very simple and accurate saliva test I offer to my clients. When analyzed by the lab, produces a clear picture of what’s causing your symptoms. If a problem is identified, I then work with my clients on an individual basis to balance their system, not with drugs, but naturally.
