YOU ARE NOT CRAZY, IT'S YOUR HORMONES!
Hormones have the most powerful influence on your body and on how you look and feel. They are the body's way of chemically communicating between the cells effectively telling them what to do. Your hormones affect virtually every function in your body. Your body relies on your hormones to go to sleep, to wake in the morning to help you get out of bed, to think clearly, to help you grow up, to maintain your health, weight and looks. They affect your mood, your ability to cope, your sexuality, your sexual drive, your ability to be fertile and reproduce, your skin, your hair, your eyesight, your body temperature. . .the list goes on.
In short they affect every thing we do. We all have them and without them we would simply die! From the minute we are born, our hormones playa major role in how we grow, age and function.
From the age of 25 we all begin to experience slow declines in our hormone production, causing a slowing down or decline in many of our normal bodily functions.
If your hormones are not functioning properly, are unbalanced, or have been affected in any way, you will suffer some form of what modem medicine calls ageing or illness associated with ageing.
Unfortunately many of us accept this as normal or inevitable. Some people accept the debilitating symptoms of hormone decline as an unavoidable way of life and are told by their doctors that this is normal for their age.
The good news is that this is not inevitable and you do not need to accept illness and loss of function due to ageing.
Women have gone to their doctors seeking answers for their concerns. Some common concerns are stress, fatigue and depression. Women have been told there is nothing wrong with them and to go home and take it easy. Doctors have sometimes prescribed women Prozac to help them with their nerves- effectively saying 'lady you are crazy'.
Millions of women have been misdiagnosed and have been prescribed some dangerous prescription drugs. In reality what they are suffering from is a simple hormonal imbalance, which has been brought about by stress and environmental exposure to drugs, alcohol and other environmental chemicals, poor nutrition, lack of exercise as well as natural hormone decline due to ageing. Many of the complaints and concerns women have about their health, especially stress, fatigue and weight gain, can be addressed by first addressing their hormone imbalances with a skilled doctor.
