If you’re like most women, there’s a lot about your hormones that you just do not understand. You know you don’t feel right. You go to your “doc in the box” and often just get the pill for your ill. These pills may alleviate some symptoms temporarily, but the cost can be huge down the road!!

There are over 200 hormones or hormone-like substances in the body – however, the ones that most often get the spotlight are

• Cortisol
  
• Estrogen
  
• Insulin
  
• Melatonin
• Progesterone
• Testosterone
  
• Thyroid

For most women, when we talk of “hormonal days,” we mean our sex hormones – Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone. Our “hormonal days” may include symptoms like PMS, morning sickness, unsightly acne, brain fog, bloating, hot flashes, insomnia, and mood swings. Just to name a few! 

Your hormones are messengers to tell your organs what to do so you can feel fabulous and look your best. For many of us, we miss the signals that our hormones give us – attempting to tell us something is out of whack – until it’s unbearable!
