Balance Your Hormones the Natural Way
There are approximately 6,000 endocrine disorders that result because of hormone imbalances. Hormones play a vital role for both men and women’s health and well-being. Hormonal imbalances are experienced at different times during life and in today’s modern world where we are being bombarded with chemicals, radiation and processed foods that negatively affect our hormonal health, humans galore unknowingly are showing poor health symptoms that could easily be vanished by balancing their hormones.
Despite the billions if not trillions of dollars spent each year on diet, weight loss and the health care industry and the advancement in technology of modern medicine, people are getting fatter and sicker than ever before. We are witnessing growing rates of diabetes, obesity, cancer, and feeling more fatigued and depressed. Yet few people know that the culprit of so many of these dis-eases are often due to hormonal imbalances.
Ask yourself if you have any of the following symptoms?
For women: hot flashes, weight gain, insomnia, fatigue, low libido, mood swings, constipation, vaginal dryness, deep feelings of sadness, fibrosis, endometriosis, foggy memory or inflammation.
For men: erectile dysfunction, low libido, night sweats, mood swings or irritability, muscles loss or weakness, sadness or anxiety, increase in body fat, hair loss, fatigue or lack of energy, memory loss, sleep apnea or insomnia, constipation, gynecomastia (development of breast in men).
Ori Hofmekler, author of The Anti-Estrogenic Diet: How Estrogenic Foods and Chemicals Are Making You Fat and Sick says that in the past few decades, men have lost 50% of their sperm count and within only one generation, the average man’s sperm count and testosterone have dropped by 20%. Women are no better. Staggering figures show that most women today are suffering from female disorders and three out of ten women between the ages of 35 to 60 will develop breast cancer.
As a healing practitioner and as a certified raw nutritionist with David Wolfe and the BodyMindInstitute I offer a holistic approach to my clients when it comes to their health and well-being. After years of working with countless of men and women I have seen many report hormonal imbalance symptoms over and over again. Often I will ask my clients to get a blood test for their hormones to verify that this is indeed is the culprit behind their symptoms, time and time again it is.
One of the most important things that I learned in my training with David Wolfe was how to balance hormones and help both men and women flush out bad estrogens and restore optimal good estrogens (like progesterone) and testosterone levels. With men the focus is mainly on raising their testosterone, yet for women testosterone is very important as well.
If you have tried “everything” to feel energetic, happy, lose weight and be healthy yet you are getting little or no results at all, then there is a good chance that your hormones are imbalanced. Balancing your hormones can be one of the most vital steps you can take towards optimal health, as research has shown that “sex hormones” are really “health hormones”. In order for your body to activate it’s own self-healing properties it is required that your endocrine system and it’s glands are working properly so that it can secrete the ideal set of hormones to maintain homeostasis in your body.
