Acne, brittle nails, dry cracked skin – If you are suffering from adult onset acne, your nails are cracking, splitting, peeling or the skin of your heels and hands are cracking, you might be low in progesterone.
Depression, anxiety, mood swings – with age, many women attribute a shift in estrogen for their mood symptoms. Actually, after age 30 most of us experience a drop in progesterone and, since it’s partly responsible for stabilizing mood, one of the first signs
of this lowered level is a shift in mood.
Low libido, fatigue, foggy thinking. Many women in their 30s and 40s, regardless of their child-bearing status, start to experience an energy, sex drive, and mental shift with a drop in progesterone.
Slow metabolism, weight gain around the midsection, sugar cravings – with the rise in diabetes across North America, most people blame sugar and insulin for their metabolic dysfunctions. But as we age and progesterone drops, it sure can slow down our ability
to burn fat.
Migraines, headaches, also joint pain and allergy symptoms – pain and allergy syndromes seem least likely to be caused by hormones—but time and time again I see hormones at the root of these frustrating conditions. I recommend considering food allergies,
overall inflammation, and checking in on your female hormone balance if you suffer from any of these conditions.
If you think you may be suffering from low progesterone levels, the DUTCH Saliva test is a great diagnostic test to check your levels and also Quantum Biofeedback for testing energetic disturbances for a holistic approach. Contact us today for a FREE 15
