Now for today’s blog ...

Most of us are living life completely out of balance. But so many symptoms we come to accept as “normal” are just signs of imbalance – and the type of imbalance that affects almost everyone in our society is hormonal imbalance.

Let me ask you:

• Do your mood and energy swing up and down, making your life crazy?

• Do you crave sugar or salt?

• Are you overweight and putting on more and more belly fat?

• If you are a woman, do you have premenstrual syndrome or painful or heavy periods?

• Are you depressed?

• Do you sleep poorly?

• Are you less interested in sex?

• Do you have thinning hair, dry skin, and feel sluggish in the mornings?

• Do you feel tired but wired?

• Do you have to drink coffee every morning just to wake up and a few glasses of wine every night just to calm down?

If so, you are not alone. In fact, this is how most Americans feel, because we are living out of harmony with our natural biological rhythms – and our hormones are all over the place.

The hormones that cause the most mental misery are your stress hormones, your thyroid hormone, your sex hormones, and your major blood-sugar control hormone, insulin.

In this blog, I want to teach you about three very common major hormonal imbalances and how you can rebalance these areas of your biochemistry ...

Last week, I told you about low thyroid function and how it affects more than 30 million women and 15 million men.

So why are we seeing such an epidemic of thyroid problems?

Well, chronic thyroid problems can be caused by many factors ...

Are you one of the 30 million women and 15 million men who have a chronic medical problem that is both under-diagnosed and under-treated?

Are you suffering from vague symptoms that you think are normal parts of life, such as fatigue, feeling sluggish in the morning, and having trouble with your memory, concentration, or focus?

Do you have dry skin or fluid retention?

Is your sex drive not what it used to be?

Are your hands and feet cold all the time?

Is your hair thinning, your voice a little hoarse, your fingernails a little thick?

Is your cholesterol high?

Do you have trouble losing weight or have you gained weight recently?

Are you suffering from depression or anxiety?

Do you have really bad PMS or trouble getting pregnant?

Do you have muscle cramps and muscle pain or weakness?

Most of these symptoms aren't severe enough to send you to the emergency room, but they do significantly affect your quality of life.

And most of us accept them as a normal part of our lives without really questioning them.

If you do go to see your doctor, he or she probably shrugs it off.

Yes, doctors are experts in acute illness. But they often fail miserably when it comes to addressing subtle changes in your body that affect the quality of your life.

According to conventional medicine, low sex drive is not necessarily a disease. Neither is a little dry skin or constipation or being tired most of the day.

But for you, those problems are significant.

So what causes them?

Often, they're caused by a condition that goes undiagnosed in half of the 45 million people who have it.

It's called hypothyroidism.
