It's All About The Hormones Baby! ♫
For the last 8 months I've been focusing on getting to know and understand the magical world of hormones. From joining the Hormones Health Course at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, to reading and following the protocols in the Cooking for Hormone Balance Book, to using Essential Oils for Hormones, and reading Beyond Mars & Venus book, I am now convinced and educated enough to believe that:
It's All About The Hormones Baby! ♫
For real! Hormones affect every tissue and organ in the body! As you may know, hormones are chemical messengers produced by glands in the body to regulate physiology and behavior. Whoa! That's kind of a big deal... So, I've come to the realization that if we want to feel healthy physically, emotionally, and mentally, we need to pay attention to our hormone health.
I know earlier this year I committed to having my online program done by the summer. Well... not going to happen, is taking me a little longer than anticipated, but I am putting together everything I've been learning into a plan that is easy, and fun to follow, to reset your hormones and fall in love with a way of living that supports their optimal function. After-all, the way that you feel, goes back to the way your hormones are working, or not working for that matter.
In the mean time, I've put together these resources for you to get started in your own hormone learning journey.
Take this quiz to see where you are at with hormonal imbalance symptoms.
Pretty much if you have PMS, low libido, infertility, hair loss, moodiness, bloating, hot flashes, ovarian cysts, acne, low energy, endometriosis, PCOS, meltdowns, fibroids, irregular or painful periods, and this list goes on and on, you my friend have a hormonal imbalance.
