5 signs to look out for that your hormones are imbalanced

​Many women have some form of hormone imbalance or hormone dominance.  The three main hormones I will look at today are the reproductive hormones:
  • Oestrogen
  • Progesterone
  • Testosterone
 
Did you know that there are many signs you might pass away as normal that would give you a hint at a hormone imbalance?  Especially when they are associated with PMS symptoms.
  1. Oestrogen dominance – bloating, swelling and tenderness in your breasts, fibrocystic lumps in your breasts, decreased sex drive, irregular menstrual periods, increased symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), mood swings, headaches, anxiety, panic attacks, weight gain, hair loss, cold hands or feet, trouble sleeping, sleepiness, fatigue, memory problems
  2. Progesterone dominance - anxiety, bloating, breast swelling, breast tenderness, depression, reduced sex drive and/​or weight fluctuations
  3. Testosterone dominance – acne, balding, decreased breast size, deepening of the voice, excess body hair, hirsutism, increased muscle mass, irregular menstrual cycle, low libido, mood changes, obesity.
 
The first thing to do, if you feel you have a number of symptoms in one category, is to go to your family Dr and ask for a hormone panel blood test.
 
If you have a hormone imbalance there are a number of options available.  In natural medicine there are several things to think about using:
  • Diet 
  • Herbal medicines
  • Exercise
  • Gut health protocol
  • Hydration
 
Once you have your blood results and have a clear picture of which hormones are out of balance, then your therapist can put together a tailored plan of action to bring you back to a place of balance, using a combination of herbs, diet and exercise.
