    The Hormone Crisis

    Hormonal imbalance affects an estimated 80% of women at some point. Symptoms include irregular periods, PMS, weight gain, mood swings, acne, hair loss, fatigue, and infertility.

    Common Hormonal Imbalances

    Estrogen Dominance

    Too much estrogen relative to progesterone — from poor liver detoxification, xenoestrogens, excess body fat, and chronic stress.

    PCOS

    Often rooted in insulin resistance and chronic inflammation, not just hormones.

    Low Progesterone

    Depleted by chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies, and thyroid dysfunction.
