Could your Hormones be making you CRAZY? Beat Anger, Irritability, Anxiety and Depression Forever! Mood swings so strong you just want to scream, or crawl into bed and sleep till it’s over? Anxiety over nothing, irritable over everything, crying at the drop of a hat, and sadness to boot!? Now, I’m not just talking about menopause and PMS; to all of you men, MANopause can and will happen, so listen up! Are you irritable, nervous, depressed, low libido, foggy thinking, can’t sleep or gaining weight? Is anything sounding familiar? Hormonal imbalances don’t just happen without cause. Did you ever wonder why some people have great hormones and you just don’t? Why can some people eat anything and maintain their weight, yet you gain three kilograms overnight after just thinking about breaking your diet? It’s not all about weight, but some of it is, and these symptoms are just the tip of the iceberg for what hormones can do to your body when out of balance long-term. You’re looking at accelerated ageing, permanent metabolism malfunction, which leads to diabetes and heart disease, and a decline in your brain function, including losing your short-term memory, and loss of important older memories permanently.

There are six triggers that affect your hormones, starting with diet, food reactions, nutrient deficiencies, infections, stress and fitness. The problem we have is that most people only deal with one of these at a time. You’ll see a specialist in only one area, although if you don’t address all of them, you’re caught in a cycle that goes on for life. The frustrating part is once these triggers upset your hormones, your hormones cause these triggers again! How do you stop it? Actually, it’s pretty easy to stop, as long as you deal with them all at the same time and properly. I have seen hormone creams to balance hormones, the pill, HRT and bio-identical hormones. These might help your current symptoms, though they won’t fix the cause, and they won’t fix the permanent effects, so the cycle continues and you become reliant on them. Fortunately, it can be treated properly, and most symptoms are improved within weeks, and completely relieved within just a few months. Hormones are one part of a seven-step process for permanently treating mood fluctuations. These steps have been proven with testing to improve brain and total body

function immeasurably, without the help of medication.
