Women in their late 30’s and early 40’s commonly suffer from hormonal imbalance caused by an excess of estrogen and a deficiency of progesterone. Every woman reacts to this imbalance differently, but typical symptoms include mood swings, irritability, fatigue, headaches’ low sex drive, altered periods and weight gain. At a time when calmness is needed to delicately manage family and work, and the quirkiness of teenagers (and husbands) the opposite seems to be true. Tiredness, foggy thinking and progressive weight gain only increase the anxiety. This whole process is known as premenopause and can occur some 10 years before the actual cessation of periods.One of the key factors at this time in your life, is that ovaries slow down their production of progesterone. The balance you have maintained all of your adult life, between estrogen and progesterone is lost. Unfortunately, a visit to the doctor at this time will result in a prescription for anti-depressants, thyroid hormone or worse still, estrogen HRT. None will improve the quality of a woman’s life. The first line of attack against these symptoms should be to accurately re-establish normal hormone ratios and to modify exercise and the eating plan. Dr Williams can help free you from the burden of tiredness, weight gain, anxiety and hormonal imbalance, and allow you to achieve longstanding weight loss, many for the first time. Do you have 3 or more symptoms?
