When the word "hormones" is uttered, visions of raging menopausal women come to mind for most. That's so sad. Hormonal changes affect everyone from birth to death, yet we seem to have a very negative association with that word.
For women, the most pronounced changes come in their 40s and 50s, but can been seen as early as their mid-30s. Many more women are having hormonal symptoms earlier, which has a lot to do with not only our lifestyle and diet, but also the pollution, toxins and xenoestrogens (synthetic chemicals that act as estrogen in our bodies) that we're exposed to every day.
Some of the most common symptoms of hormonal imbalances are:
1. Persistent weight gain.

Some of the most common symptoms of hormonal imbalances are:
1. Persistent weight gain.
Yes, there are lifestyle, diet and physical activity components to maintaining a healthy weight, but that isn't the end of the story. Many women have underlying hormonal imbalances that make it difficult to maintain a healthy weight. Unaddressed or emerging insulin resistance is one of the most common; small changes in diet — such as eliminating processed foods, sugars and wheat — are steps in the right direction.
2. Belly fat and loss of muscle mass.
2. Belly fat and loss of muscle mass.
When your endocrine system is under stress there's an underproduction of certain hormones and an overproduction of others (mainly cortisol). This makes your body store fat for future use, making an increase in belly fat a clue to adrenal fatigue.
3. Low libido.
3. Low libido.
One of the most noticeable symptoms of hormonal imbalance is low libido, which starts with disturbed sleep. Without quality sleep our sex hormone production can diminish.
4. Fatigue.
4. Fatigue.
Can't make it past mid-morning without some sort of pick-me-up? How about that mid-afternoon crash? It isn't normal to feel sluggish, scattered or mentally foggy. Easy dietary changes, such as eliminating wheat and most grains, will help stabilize your blood sugar.
5. Anxiety, irritability and depression.
5. Anxiety, irritability and depression.
Not feeling like yourself? This isn't the time for pharmaceuticals. Anxiety and depression are clues that you have an imbalance, toxicity, are overworked, stressed out, and most likely aren't nourishing your body the way it needs. Listen to your inner voice and take the actions necessary to meet your needs.
6. Insomnia and poor sleep patterns.
6. Insomnia and poor sleep patterns.
This starts the cycle of physical stress and increases cortisol levels, which directly causes many hormonal imbalances. There isn't one area of your life that insomnia doesn't touch.
7. Sweating.
7. Sweating.
For many women, night sweats and hot flashes are the first uncomfortable sign that something is amiss. This isn't the time to start hormone replacement therapy, but begin a food journal by jotting down what you eat and drink, how you feel physically, and any emotions that come up after. Many times our emotions are the trigger that increases internal temperature. The next time you feel the flashes coming on, stop and think about the thoughts swirling around in your mind.
8. Digestion problems.
8. Digestion problems.
Gas, bloating and slow digestion are common hormonal problems that aren't usually associated with hormonal imbalances, but may be associated with eating bad foods, not chewing your food and eating too much. When you don't have optimal digestion, your body is starving because of poor nutrient extraction.
9. Cravings.
9. Cravings.
After eating way more than you should have, or having gone through half a bottle of wine, do you look back and ask yourself why? Common causes of cravings and excess eating are adrenal fatigue, insulin resistance, and other hormonal imbalances. Again, minimizing sugars, alcohol, dairy and wheat — although difficult — not only will help control cravings, but your digestive issues as well.
Please note that many of these symptoms can be linked to other physical problems, and a simple blood test can tell you if there are other underlying concerns.
With consistent effort applied to improving diet and digestive health, stress management, improved sleep and consistent physical activity, true holistic health is attainable

当单词“荷尔蒙”的一声，熊熊更年期妇女的景象浮现在脑海中的大多数。这是如此悲伤。荷尔蒙的变化影响到每一个人从出生到死亡，但我们似乎有一个与这个词非常负面联想。
对于女性来说，最明显的变化都在40多岁和50多岁，但可以被看作是早在他们的30年代中期。还有更多的女性荷尔蒙有早期症状，其中有很多工作要做，不仅我们的生活方式和饮食习惯，同时也污染，毒素和异源雌激素（即作为雌激素在我们的身体合成化学品） ，我们正在面对每一天。
一些荷尔蒙失衡的最常见的症状有：

2 。腹部脂肪和肌肉质量损失。
当你的内分泌系统是在压力下有某些激素的减产和其他人的生产过剩（主要是皮质醇） 。这使你的身体储存脂肪以备将来使用，使得增加腹部脂肪的线索肾上腺疲劳。
3 。性欲低下。
其中一个荷尔蒙分泌失调的最明显的症状就是性欲低下，这与睡眠不安启动。如果没有高质量的睡眠我们的性荷尔蒙的分泌会降低。
4 。疲劳。
如果没有某种形式的提神了不能让它过去早盘中段？怎么样午后大跌？这是不正常的感觉迟钝，散在或精神上有雾。容易改变饮食习惯，比如消除小麦和大多数谷物，将有助于稳定血糖。

不是感觉像自己吗？这不是时间的药品。焦虑和抑郁是线索，你有不平衡，毒性，过度劳累，压力太大了，而且很可能不是滋养你的身体需要的方式。倾听你内心的声音，并采取以满足您的需求采取必要的行动。
6 。失眠和睡眠不佳的模式。
这将启动物理应力的周期，提高皮质醇的水平，这直接导致许多荷尔蒙不平衡。没有你的生活，失眠不接触的一个区域。
7 。出汗。
对于很多女性来说，盗汗潮热是第一个不舒服的迹象，表明有什么不妥。这并不是开始激素替代疗法，但记下你吃什么，喝，你怎么感觉身体，那以后出现的任何情绪开始食物日记的时间。很多时候，我们的情绪是增加内部温度触发。下一次你感觉到闪烁来了，停下来思考一下在你的脑海旋转着的想法。
8 。消化问题。
气，腹胀和消化迟缓相伴的并非通常与荷尔蒙失调有关的常见的激素问题，但可能会吃坏的食物，不能咀嚼你的食物，吃太多的关联。当你没有最佳的消化，你的身体是因为挨饿营养提取较差。
9 。渴望。
进食的方式比你应该有，或者有通过半瓶酒走了之后，你回过头来，问自己，为什么？渴望和过量进食的常见原因是肾上腺疲劳，胰岛素抵抗和其他激素失衡。再次，最大限度地减少糖类，酒类，奶制品和小麦 - 尽管很难 - 不仅有助于控制烟瘾，但你的消化系统问题也是如此。
请注意，许多这些症状可以链接到其他身体问题，并且一个简单的血液测试可以告诉你，如果有其他方面的顾虑。
与用于改善饮食和消化系统的健康，压力管理，改善睡眠和一致的体力活动相一致的努力，真正的全面的健康是可以实现的
