Female Hormonal Health
From puberty through menopause and beyond, each and everyone of us will have a unique journey all our own, and support can be very helpful at any point along the way.
Female hormonal health is a crucial aspect of overall well-being, influencing everything from our moods and energy levels to reproductive health and metabolism. Female hormones estrogen + progesterone, together with testosterone, thyroid, insulin and cortisol play a vital role in how the body functions. Hormone imbalances can lead to issues like PMS, irregular cycles, and conditions like PCOS or endometriosis. Your nutritional needs change with age, and the need to preserve muscle mass and maintain healthy bone density is critical. Improving resilience through stress management helps to balance hormones, and specific regular physical activity further promotes your state of well-being. By understanding and improving the intricate relationships between nutrition, lifestyle, and hormonal health, you can be empowered to achieve greater joy in living and optimal health.
Certified in Menopause 2.0 through Dr. Stacy Sims, I help women who are experiencing an array of symptoms (see below) improve their health and return to their most vital state.
Hormonal Imbalances: Fluctuating levels of estrogen and progesterone can lead to mood swings, hot flashes, and sleep disturbances.
Weight Management: You might experience weight gain or difficulty losing weight due to hormonal changes and metabolic shifts.
Low Energy Levels: Fatigue and decreased stamina can make it challenging to maintain an active lifestyle.
Mood Changes: Increased anxiety, irritability, or depression can complicate daily life and self-motivation.
Sleep Issues: Insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns can negatively affect overall health and well-being.
Digestive Issues: Declining hormones affect our gut microbiome and may lead to bloating, constipation, and other digestive discomforts.
Increased Stress: Balancing work, family, and personal health can heighten stress levels, exacerbating hormonal issues.
Bone Health Concerns: The risk of osteoporosis increases, as bone density decreases making fractures more likely.
Skin Changes: You might experience changes in skin elasticity, dryness, or breakouts due to the loss of estrogen, which could affect self-esteem.
Lack of Support: You may feel isolated in your experiences, lacking community or professional support during this transition.
