Now for today’s blog ...
Most of us are living life completely out of balance. But so many symptoms we come to accept as “normal” are just signs of imbalance – and the type of imbalance that affects almost everyone in our society is hormonal imbalance.
Let me ask you:
• Do you crave sugar or salt?
• Are you overweight and putting on more and more belly fat?
• If you are a woman, do you have premenstrual syndrome or painful or heavy periods?
• Are you depressed?
• Do you sleep poorly?
• Are you less interested in sex?
• Do you have thinning hair, dry skin, and feel sluggish in the mornings?
• Do you feel tired but wired?
• Do you have to drink coffee every morning just to wake up and a few glasses of wine every night just to calm down?
If so, you are not alone. In fact, this is how most Americans feel, because we are living out of harmony with our natural biological rhythms – and our hormones are all over the place.
The hormones that cause the most mental misery are your stress hormones, your thyroid hormone, your sex hormones, and your major blood-sugar control hormone, insulin.

It's a statement that most of us unconsciously accept without a second thought.

No way!
It's true that the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), like mood swings, irritability, depression, anxiety, fluid retention, bloating, breast tenderness, sugar cravings, headaches, and sleep disturbances, affect 75 percent of women.
In 20 percent of those women, the symptoms are so severe that they need medical treatment.
And about 8 percent have such extreme symptoms that the problem has been given a new name: premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
But just because you're a woman doesn't mean you have to live with these symptoms.
The real fact is that suffering related to menstrual cycles is unnecessary -- and not caused by bad luck, but by bad habits, environmental toxins, and stress.
