“Do I need to get tested to know if my hormones are balanced?!” Yes and no.
You can get a sense of your hormonal balance without jumping straight to tests. Your body is an incredibly intelligent & communicative. It gives you signals that tell you what’s up! (Symptoms)
If you’re dealing with things like PMS, feeling wiped out all the time, cramps that are the absolute worst, headaches that just won’t quit, your hair thinning out, hands and feet that are always freezing, or you’re just cold 24/7, spotting when you shouldn’t be, can’t sleep, or you’re feeling anxious and just not hungry – your body might be waving a red flag about your hormones.
If any of this sounds like your regular, it’s definitely time to check in with your hormonal health. And guess what? You can have chill periods and feel great WITHOUT popping the pill. I’ve seen it time and again with clients who come to me with these kinds of symptoms, and they end up feeling way better once we tweak their diet and lifestyle… actually HEALING the source of the issue, not suppressing it for years to come… when eventually your body starts screaming (disease) instead of whispering (symptoms).
It’s not a quick fix. It’s a journey, and you’ve gotta be all in. It might take a few months to start noticing changes, especially if this is new to you. Don’t fall for the convenience trap of popping pills like M&M’s (it may look like it “works,” but it’s just shutting your body’s signals up so you don’t actually know what the hell is going on).
And here’s the heads up: sometimes things get a bit rocky before they get better. I’ve had clients who start making these healthy changes and then boom, they get hit with acne or bloating they never had before. But, believe it or not, that’s your body adjusting and it’s a good sign. Once we get your hormones to a happy place, those symptoms usually start to fade and you’ll feel like the rockstar you are.
