## Hormones making your crazy? Join me in a FREE WEbinar

Hormonal imbalances can be at their wildest during the perimenopausal years; that is the 10 years before the onset of menopause. In that 10 years first your progesterone levels drop and then eventually your estrogen levels. For many women, they may feel as though their caught in a horrific storm with no end in sight. There is no pattern and every woman is an individual destined for a time of potential hot flashes, weight gain, emotional rides and bleeding hell. Yes, these symptoms may be common but they are not normal. If you are not sure if this pertains to you refer to my article “Have you entered perimenopause yet?”

Fluctuating hormones are part of a feedback loop involving a very special part of the brain referred to as the limbic system. In the limbic system the hypothalmus , the pituitary and the amygdala are the majors in charge of determining hormone levels throughout the body. For those of you that have seen my Brain/Body Diagram, this is a reminder that the brain and body and the body and the brain arealways communicating. It’s a two way street.

The amygdala is the part of the brain that takes in stress and environmental input and manufactures your emotional and mental response. Women especially between the ages 35 to 40 are greatly affected by the brain-hormone feedback loop. Because the hormones are fluctuating there is a mismatch in the trigger and response by the amygdala. It works something like this: the hormones sputter, the brain gets the signal, stress is perceived in the outside world (a co-worker frustrates you) and the amygdala manufactures an emotional response (makes you cry). Typically this would not be the emotion of your choice but it was the amygdala who did the interpretation. So what to do? Blame it on the amygdala!

Many of you may be thinking…this just isn’t fair. And I would entirely agree. So what is the best way to address the amygdala and all other symptoms that are adding to the feelings of ‘crazy’?

## How to get through perimenopause? FREE WEBINAR

November 17th, 2015 Lynn

I deal with so many women that need help through the 10 years of hormonal havoc that results just from being a women. I’m offering a FREE Webinar, Monday, November 30th. Register here. In case you are not certain what’s causing weight fluctuations, a feeling of being out of control, hot flashes, feeling depressed, losing your mind and/or are just plain “off”? If so here’s a blog posted awhile back.

Peri what? Most women don’t know that perimenopause is the 10 years prior to the onset of menopause. It can create the rockiest of moments and days. In the first half of the decade the ovaries reduce their production of progesterone. In the second half estrogen levels drop. A woman’s hormones fluctuate in this effort to eventually sputter out completely crossing the finish line at menopause. In this hormonal fluctuation, wild emotions, low libido, weight gain around the hips, hot flashes and many other symptoms can introduce themselves letting the woman know that menopause will be arriving. Many of you may be thinking…wow, 10 years is a long time. How do you know if you are in the peri-menopausal phase? And what can you do about it?

The assessment below was created by the great Dr. Sarah Gottfried. If 5 or more of these questions seem totally related to you then yep you’re in perimenopause.

DO YOU HAVE, OR HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED, IN
THE PAST SIX MONTHS . . .
■ Feeling far less jolly about doing the grocery shopping,
laundry, dishes, and cooking than you did, say, ten years ago?
■ A preference for social isolation combined with wardrobe
malfunction (you’re newly introverted, reluctant to wear
anything other than your yoga pants if you have to leave the
house)?
■ A need to unbutton your jeans to make room for the roll
around your waist, which seemed to arrive overnight?
■ Emotional instability—for the first time in your life, you burst
into tears at work when in a crucial meeting and your kid calls
with an adolescent crisis?
■ A lack of satisfaction with exercise, since it doesn’t seem to
affect your weight?
■A general feeling of blah or reclusiveness; do you find yourself
watching the clock and wondering when it might be socially
acceptable to extricate yourself from normal activities and retire
for the evening?
■ A problem sleeping (indiscriminant debates and ruminations
awakening you in the middle of the night)?
■ A habit of waking up so sweaty that you need to change
your nightgown and sheets, and perhaps even your husband
(or partner)?
■ A face with crow’s feet and a permanently furrowed brow?
■ A lack of attention to personal grooming habits (you really
don’t care how attractive you look)?
■ An attitude toward your children that’s less gung-ho and more
ambivalent than it once was?
■ A menstrual period so unpredictable that you don’t know
whether you’re in for spotting or flooding or some weird
combination of the two?
■ Sudden forgetfulness when walking into a room (knowing
you had a purpose but searching for clues as to what it was)?
■ A continual doubting of your own instincts and insights?
■ More frequent announcements to the family that “Mom’s going
to take a nap now” or “Mom needs a time-out”?
■ A preference for chocolate or a glass of wine over sex (which,
frankly, may just be your lowest priority)?
■ A notion that Zoloft or a little Prozac sounds increasingly
appealing?
■ An opinion that addressing your mood issues by giving up
sugar, alcohol, and flour, taking various supplements, and
hormonal tweaking sounds like way too much work?
Taken from Dr. Sarah Gottfried_The Hormone Cure

If you found that at least 5 of these symptoms represent how you feel and behave then know that you are not alone. You are officially in perimenopause and you have the black and white assessment to prove it (To Spouse: See babe, I’m not crazy). Hopefully by now you are feeling validated in knowing that there is a name for this symptomatic time in your life. So what can you do about it?

## The female disease that plagues millions of women…

January 22nd, 2015 Lynn

Endometriosis affects an estimated 1 in 10 women during their reproductive years (ie. usually between the ages of 15 to 49), which is approximately 176 million women in the world.

According to Endometriosis.org, Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus (called “the endometrium”), is found outside the uterus, where it induces a chronic inflammatory reaction that may result in scar tissue. It is primarily found on the pelvic peritoneum, ovaries, in the recto-vaginal septum, on the bladder, and bowel.”

It can begin when the young women has her first period and can endure past menopause. The symptoms may include pain, often times severe, infertility, heavy bleeding, fatigue, painful intercourse, and much more. According to conventional medical doctors, there is no cure.

I’m living proof that there is a nutritional means to alleviate if not eliminate many of the symptoms associated with endometriosis, especially PAIN.

Since there are 176 million women in the world that are trying to survive through endometriosis, we all must know someone. Please share my video with any women that you know that may be experiencing these symptoms, has or has not received a diagnosis, and or is just plain fed up!

There is a way, and I’m here to share it.

Be well,

Lynn
