Female Hormones

Women in particular know all too well how hormones can affect mood and energy, but how many of us really understand how important hormones are for health and wellbeing?

Hormones such as oestrogen, testosterone and cortisol are vital for our health and wellbeing. If these hormones become out of balance we may experience many undesirable symptoms.

When the body does not keep a balance between oestrogen ( in its many forms) and progesterone the body can develop what is known as “oestrogen dominance” which may result in the following symptoms:

• Bloating or fluid retention
• Heavy, irregular menses
• Fatigue or lack of energy
• Sugar cravings
• Weight gain
• Mood swings and irritability
• leep disturbances
• Night sweats
• Headaches
• Loss of libido
