Could your hormones be out of whack?

Do you sometimes feel like the Energizer Bunny…you just keep going and going and going? I suspect it happens a lot. In fact, it’s the American Way these days. Living life this way can be seen as having “ambition” or “making it happen,” “being productive,” even necessary for “serving others." I wrote about "busyness" here. 

Unfortunately, this go-go, stress-inducing lifestyle is wreaking havoc on our how our bodies function. More energy is going out than is going in. This causes our bodies to be in a state of emergency way too often and can lead to fatigue, aches/pains, memory loss, digestive issues, lack of sleep, mood swings, uterine fibroids, hot flashes, heart disease, and osteoporosis, just to name a few.

How does it affect our bodies? It’s through our hormones. Hormones are the servants of our mental and physical balance. They influence whatever the body needs to achieve at any given moment.

When our hormones are out of whack, our mental and physical balance is out of whack.
