Is “now” the time to end these hormonal fluctuations?

There’s never a right time.  It’s the holidays, my friend’s wedding, my child’s sport weekend and so on.  Hormone imbalances don’t know a right or wrong time.  They just happen.  And they remain until balance is restored.  The hot flashes, weight gain, mood shifts all happen because of physiological changes that occur within the body.  Yes, some of this is out of our control.  But much is within our control.  

Amy*, age 44 came to me with concerns for weight gain above the hips, hot flashes and wakeful nights.  She was frustrated and ready to make changes.  I shared with her the functional approach and we assessed her cortisol and sex and sleep hormones.  We pursued an elimination diet to explore inflammatory foods (inflammation, among imbalances, can precede hot flashes, weight gain and wakeful nights). We identified two foods that created a reaction within the body.  I recommended that Amy remove these foods.  We looked at supporting her energy throughout the day, reducing her stress and making sure that her hormones were detoxifying properly.   As a result her energy improved during the day, her hot flashes disappeared and sleep was restored.  Both the improvement in sleep, improvement in day time energy and reduction in inflammation helped Amy lose weight and feel energized.  

Are you ready to make the time?
