Have you ever felt like what’s bothering you is related to your hormones but you don’t know how? #menopause #perimenopause #balancehormones #moxie menopausemoxie.com/blog/understan…

What's nice about properly dosed estrogen is that it impacts the mental health of a woman in a very positive way. Once estrogen has been fully restored, the brain and body get to work restoring, repairing, and enhancing a woman's life. One of the "disorders" that becomes a…

Do you have current hormone labs and have questions about them? Are you confused by your hormone labs and need them explained? Do you question if you need HRT based on your labs? Hormone labs can be confusing and very few people know how to effectively use them as a tool for…

25. It's not you. There is a small percentage of women who will never get their hormones balanced no matter which HRT system they take or how compliant they are with the dietary and lifestyle requirements for optimal hormone balance. There are about 7- 10% of women who no…

24. It's you. There are some women who are genuinely anhedonic and malcontent that nothing makes them happy. These women rarely get their hormones balanced. I have seen a small percentage of women over the past two decades who are never happy with their HRT even though their…

23. You are not pooping every day. There is a direct relationship between your hormones — especially estrogen — and your digestive health. If you are constipated and/or do not have 1-3 daily bowel movements, you will have a difficult time getting your hormones balanced and…

22. You are on drugs. If you suffer from hormonal imbalance, chances are you are on some sort of prescription drug to manage the symptoms of it. Most medications are endocrine-disrupting chemicals that can keep your hormone therapy from working the right way, or block you…

21. You are taking the wrong supplements. Taking DIM (Diindolylmethane) or any supplement designed to flush estrogen out of your system is counterproductive to optimal hormone balancing. The goal of hormone balancing is to restore circulating levels in the healthy range, not…

20. You are using social media groups. Similar to using the smartphone app, trying to balance hormones using social media groups is not a successful approach, even if a doctor or pharmacist is running the group. Balancing hormones effectively and sustainably requires the doctor…

19. You are using a smartphone app. Some hormone balancing experts have a smartphone app business that sells memberships that offer hormone balancing through the application, where the app instructs women on what hormone therapy to take, how much to take, and how to take it.…

I never knew what life was like being happy until I got enough of the right hormones. There is a place of hormonal balance where women feel and do their best mentally and physically and the majority have never experienced it in their lifetime. I thought my ‘happiness’ situation…

18. You are self-treating. Many women attempt to balance their own hormones because they can’t find a doctor who is trained to do it for them. There isn't a lot of trust in hormone doctors because there is no confident destination of balance. When no one knows where the ship is…

17. You smoke cigarettes Smoking cigarettes will keep your hormones from ever really becoming balanced even if you take an advanced HRT protocol. The longer a woman smokes, the less likely chance she has at getting her hormones effectively and sustainably balanced. Smoking…

16. You are using the wrong testing and guidelines. This will make many unhappy but I have to be honest with my experiences as a clinical hormone coach and as an HRT patient. Using hormone tests like the DUTCH Test® as a measuring tool, and especially following their treatment…

15. You are over-exercising. Yes, there is such a thing as over-exercising. Regular exercise is good for hormone balancing but exercising too much will keep your HRT from working. This is because the amount of stress you put on your body is more than the level of estrogen you…

14. You are under too much stress. When you are under a great deal of stress, it impacts how your hormones function and the messaging they send out. Estrogen is a woman's main sex hormone that allows your brain and body to handle stress. When estrogen is too low to handle the…

14. You are under too much stress. When you are under a great deal of stress, good or bad, it impacts how your hormones function and the messaging they send out. Estrogen is your main sex hormone that allows your brain and body to handle a reasonable amount of stress. When…

12. You have poor sleep hygiene. Your sleep hygiene affects how your hormone therapy will function. Whether you are taking HRT or are producing your own hormones, they require plenty of quality sleep to work correctly. But it is also a double-edged sword for hormonally…

11. You are not getting daily physical activity. HRT systems require regular daily physical activity and plenty of circulation to work how they are supposed to, otherwise, HRT could be your worst enemy. The HRT you take needs plenty of help circulating throughout your body for…
