And hey, guys, don't check out just yet! This info is essential for everyone because, let's be honest, there's a woman in your life – be it a mom, sister, daughter, or significant other. Understanding hormone imbalance is crucial for supporting the women around you.
My Hormone Imbalance Journey
My own journey with hormone imbalance began with a health journey that included a diagnosis of colon cancer and Lynch syndrome. Following a prophylactic surgery to remove my ovaries, I was told I might experience "minor side effects." Little did I know, these side effects would turn my world upside down.
From extreme fatigue and depressive states to anxiety and significant weight gain, I felt like I was losing control of my body. Traditional approaches offered little insight, leaving me frustrated and seeking answers.
Recognizing the Symptoms
Before diving into my personal experience, let's acknowledge the symptoms of hormone imbalance. These can include continual weight gain, poor sleep, brain fog, heart palpitations, and more. The list goes on, affecting everything from libido and digestion to memory and emotional well-being.
As I recount these symptoms, it's essential to realize that hormone imbalance is more common than we think. Many are experiencing these challenges silently, believing it's an inevitable part of aging. Spoiler alert: it doesn't have to be!
