Q1: How can a woman know for sure if her hormones are imbalanced? If she’s experiencing a few symptoms, what are the next steps to confirming this?    

Q2: What kind of tests are available for testing hormone levels? What should people be asking for when going to their doctor? Is this something a conventional doctor will order if requested? 

Q3: Should we be thinking about taking a hormone test at certain times in our lifetime, or only when experiencing some symptoms?

Q4: What can we do, as women, to support our hormones on a daily basis to avoid an imbalance? 

Q5: In general, how long does it take to recover from a hormone imbalance?

If you missed last week’s podcast episode about self-care, now is a great time to go back and listen. Last week’s episode on self-care and this week’s episodes on hormones go hand-in-hand. Intentionally taking care of ourselves is absolutely necessary. Self-care is about a lifestyle, not a one-time spa activity or bubble bath. Last week I shared how to approach self-care from a practical, balanced approach by asking yourself three questions.
