Common health conditions in women of all ages can often be traced to one root cause: hormone imbalances and deficiencies, and women can have them from the onset of puberty. In the short term, untreated hormone deficiencies sap energy, cause mood disorders, memory problems and put a damper on libido. In the long term, deficiencies are contributing factors in developing heart disease, diabetes, bone loss, obesity, cancer and other chronic health issues. Losing estrogen brings a lot of undesirable symptoms:
Hot flashes, night sweats
Insomnia (difficulty getting to sleep, staying asleep or both)
Dry or sagging skin
Dry eyes or change in vision
Heart palpitations or irregular heartbeat
Weepy for no reason
Foggy brain or memory loss
Vaginal dryness, often leading to painful sex
Decrease in lubrication
Urine leakage or incontinence
Sagging breasts
Skin crawling or itching
Changes in periods (too early or too late)
Heavy periods with clots and severe cramping
Recurrent yeast infections or urinary tract infections
Food doesn’t taste the same
Burning mouth or dry mouth
Dry hair and nails
Loss of hair
Worsening allergies
