Hormonal Imbalance

By: Jay Dee, MPH

Lately have you noticed any of the following:

1.     Severe acne

2.     Your libido has drastically changed-increased or decreased

3.     Periods are heavier or you’re starting to miss them

4.     Weight gain in the abdominal area

5.     Thinning hair or bald patches

If you have noticed a few of these changes, ask your Doctor to check your hormones because there may be a chance your testosterone levels are too high! There are several factors that can cause your testosterone levels to increase, one being PCOS.

I’m sure I sound like a broken record but the big 3 can help support this issue:

1.     Exercise but strength training.

2.     Diet, eating protein and vegetables.

3.     Sleeping well every night!

As we are aging, it’s critical that we are getting blood work and following up with our doctor for an explanation of our results. Whatever is abnormal to your body, say something! Changes in your body are often indicators of something, do not ignore it.
