Find Out if Your Symptoms Are Due to a Hormonal Imbalance

 

1. 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.)
    
2. 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.
    
3. 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.)
    
4. It is recommended that you print these pages and use them as a reference.  
    
5. It is highly recommended that you also take the Toxicity Test and Thyroid Tests to make sure these are not causing your imbalances.
