Find Out if Your Symptoms Are Due to a
Hormonal Imbalance
Read carefully through the list of
symptoms in each group, and put a check mark next to each symptom that
you have. (If you check off the same symptom in more than one group,
that's fine.)
Go back and count the check marks in
each group. In any group where you have two or more symptoms checked
off, there's a good chance that you have the hormone imbalance
represented by that group.
The more symptoms you check off, the
higher the likelihood that you have the hormone imbalance represented
by that group. (Some people may have more than one type of hormonal
imbalance.)
It is recommended that you print these
pages and use them as a reference.
It is highly recommended that you also
take the Toxicity Test and Thyroid Tests to make sure these are not
causing your imbalances.
I cannot stress the need for
Protandim in any hormone imbalance issue.
I have found in every person that I know who uses it, over time
hormone issues vastly improve or disappear all together.

Excess estrogen: In women,
this is most often solved by getting off of the conventional synthetic
hormones most often prescribed by doctors for menopausal women. Estrogen
is also found in abundance in milk, soy, plastic, body care chemicals and meats. You are in real need
of Bio-identical hormones such as Progesterone

Answer: Estrogen dominance: This is caused when you don't have enough
progesterone to balance the effects of estrogen. Thus, you can have low
estrogen but if you have even lower progesterone, you can have symptoms
of estrogen dominance. Many women between the ages of 40 and 50 suffer
from estrogen dominance. You might want to try a Bio-identical hormone
such as Progesterone Cream and Protandim. You also need to
remove any extra sources of estrogen in your life:
milk, soy, plastic, body care chemicals and meats

This is most often caused by too much sugar and simple carbohydrates in
the diet and is often found in women who have polycystic ovary syndrome
(PCOS). Please take Thyroid

diabetic as PCOS is closely related. Get a androgen blood test to make
sure its not real serious.

balances hormones by removing oxidative stress.
Niaouli is hormone-like (action on hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal
axis, and ovarian-testicular system) and can help regulate the
androgen systems

TOTAL BOXES CHECKED

Answer: Cortisol deficiency:
this is caused by tired adrenals, which is usually caused by chronic
stress. If you're trying to juggle a job and a family, chances are good
you have tired adrenals. You also need to get an ACTH blood test.
If you have a serious cortisol deficiency it can be life threatening.
During an acute stress crisis you can rub 1 inch stripe of 1%
hydrocortisone cream on your arms once a day, this may help. Licorice,
Siberian ginseng, astralgus, fo-ti root, adrenal glandulars, rhadiola
rosea, and Ashwaganda.
Blend these oils* together and place 1-3 drops a day on the foot
reflexology point for adrenals. Go 1 inch in from the inside of your
foot in the exact middle of your arch.

(supporting adrenal - increasing energy).

Fortitude Essential Oil Blend on each temple.
*Spearmint
is beneficial for flu, fevers, colic, releases retention of urine,
nausea, fatigue, headache, migraine, nervous strain, neurasthenia
stress (exhaustion)
Stay away from stimulants like caffeine, ephedra (ephedrine,
psuedoephedrine (sinufed), redbull, guarana etc.. Stimulants may get you
going for a short time but it further causes strain on your adrenals;
making your problem worse in the long run. Stay away from
