When you look at yourself in the mirror during tho

Probably one of my most repeated statements that’s taken on a life of its own in the women’s hormone world is: Just because it’s common or “normal” doesn’t mean it’s optimal.

So goes it with so many hormone symptoms that we’re told from the time we start menstruating and have symptoms - to just accept it, it’s part of being a woman, take some ibuprofen, etc., and sort of just deal.

I can’t even tell you how many women who have come to me whose ‘normal’ period pain turned out to be endometriosis, regularly skipped periods PCOS, their heavy bleeding or pelvic discomfort fibroids. All missed or dismissed by their primary care provider or OB/GYN.

Some of these period “Red Flags” that we shouldn’t just accept as normal include:
🚩Severe cramps or pelvic pain each month
🚩Heavy bleeding
🚩Frequently irregular periods
🚩Skipped periods
🚩 Not ovulating
🚩 Overwhelming sugar or other food cravings
🚩 Significant bloating, swelling, or breast discomfort
🚩Anxiety, depression, poor sleep

⚠️NEWS FLASH- being a woman or having a womb DOES NOT mean that you are made to suffer!

Your menstrual cycle is what’s known as your 6th vital sign - literally messages that tell you when things are in harmony or when something is going on that needs more attention.

Symptoms such as those above can be signs of a hormonal imbalance - even hormone RED FLAGS - and are important because not only are they affecting your quality of life now, they can be signs of underlying issues. And taking meds month after month, or ginning and bearing it - are not solutions.

Here’s how to start:
Listen to your body - don’t ignore your 6th Vital Sign any more!
Here on IG (scroll around and check out my reels!) you’ll find great info; at my website free articles, podcasts, & more,
Grab my book, Hormone Intelligence, where you’ll find self-assessments, details, and help finally to begin to suss out what’s going on.
Let’s chat about it in the comments! How’s your body been talking to you lately? What’s she saying that you know you need to listen more closely to? What have you been trying to get answers to that you just can’t find or don’t know what to believe?

I’m listening...
