Hormone Imbalance Symptoms We Help
Getting back to the real you!
At BeBalanced we empower women with the tools to live their best, most vibrant lives. Women, like you, who refuse to accept that their quality of life is bound to diminish just because the clock keeps ticking, or that it’s “that time of the month.”
We help women to change their story. Our clients don’t accept weight gain as an expected part of getting older, nor will they tolerate sleepless nights, anxious thoughts, low energy, erratic moods, or hot flashes getting in the way of their determination to show up for their lives every day, better than the last.
We do this through natural hormone balancing, a revolutionary way to work with your body to naturally balance key hormones that impact your weight, mood, sleep, energy, and so much more.
Although we primarily focus on supporting women, we also can help the men in your lives find balance.
Hormone Imbalance Symptoms We Help
Difficulty Losing Weight
If traditional diet and exercise plans aren’t working for you, you’re not alone.
Time and time again, women walk through the doors of our center searching for answers. Many of them have tried every diet plan out there, but the weight doesn’t budge. They try eating less, swear off carbs, or spend hours in the gym, and yet, nothing is working. They are stressed out, burnt out, and feeling defeated. What’s worse, many of these women are suffering from issues that go way beyond their weight loss struggles. They aren’t sleeping well, their moods are all over the place, their focus is cloudy, and they don’t understand why.
It’s Not You. It’s Your Hormones!
Every aspect of your metabolism is regulated by hormones. So, when it comes to your weight, no matter how much you exercise or what you eat, if your hormones are out of balance, losing weight will be a struggle even with popular diets such as the Keto diet.
Not only can we help you lose weight quickly and naturally WITHOUT exercise, but we will also help teach you how to keep the weight off for good and stay balanced while alleviating symptoms of PMS and Menopause.
Mood Swings, Anxiety, and Depression
Statistics show that one in five adults in the US deals with some type of mood imbalance, with anxiety and depression on the rise. What’s worse, women are twice as likely to suffer from anxiety and depression. At BeBalanced, we believe the connection between your hormones, diet, and lifestyle choices directly affect your mood.
Although it is a good idea to talk to your doctor if you are suffering from depression or anxiety, antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications fail address the root cause of depression and other mood-related issues. At BeBalanced, our holistic approach addresses mood imbalances through a combination of stress management, whole-foods, natural supplementation, and one-on-one support.

Low Energy Levels
Your hormones play a key role in controlling your energy levels. When hormones are out of balance it can make you feel tired, and lethargic, and can often cause sleep issues. Imbalances in thyroid function, sex hormones, cortisol levels, and blood sugar levels all contribute to low energy which we work to address holistically.
Sleep Issues
With jam-packed schedules, countless responsibilities, and often a lot of stress, sleep issues are extremely common. Too much cortisol raises heart rate and body temperature which can make it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep. When cortisol is high, progesterone is converted to keep up with the demand. Progesterone promotes a sense of calm, increasing relaxation and facilitating sleep. Progesterone also increases the production of GABA, a neurotransmitter that helps sleep. Low progesterone can bring about anxiety and restlessness, and trouble sleeping, including a tendency to wake frequently during the night. Blood sugar and insulin imbalances also play a huge role in waking up during the night. With the right combination of lifestyle and dietary changes, along with natural supplementation, we help our clients balance key hormones that impact sleep so they can fall asleep easily and wake up rested to tackle whatever comes their way.

PMS Symptoms
PMS is a common condition. So common that its symptoms affect more than 90 percent of menstruating women. The medical community typically recommends the pill (patch, ring, or shot) to “fix” PMS and other hormone-related symptoms, but birth control doesn’t solve these issues. It hides them, acting like a band-aid covering a deeper wound, and fails to address the underlying root issue.
We believe PMS symptoms such as cramps, heavy bleeding, breast tenderness, mood swings, acne, headaches, and fatigue are caused by an imbalance in hormone levels (particularly sex hormones). When balanced naturally, they can be remedied or significantly reduced without the dangerous side effects of birth control.
Digestive Issues & Leaky Gut
Problems and imbalances in our gut can cause more than just stomach pain, gas, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation, they can be the root cause of many chronic health problems. Leaky gut, a term used to describe a digestive condition in which bacteria, toxins, and undigested foods “leak” through a damaged intestinal wall, has even been associated with hormone imbalances, autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, diabetes, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression, and skin conditions, just to name a few.
Our BeRenewed Gut Restoration program will help you address all contributing factors and root causes of gut imbalances through a holistic, natural approach guided by the 6 R’s to gut health; remove, replace, repair, relax, refocus, and renew.

Hot Flashes / Night Sweats
Hot flashes and night sweats are among the most common symptoms of women in menopause and perimenopause. In fact, according to the North American Menopause Society (NAMS), more than two-thirds of North American women who are heading into menopause suffer from them. What’s more alarming is that some women begin to experience hot flashes well before their perimenopausal years.
Some women barely notice hot flashes or consider them a minor annoyance. But for others, the intensity may severely affect their quality of life.
Hot flashes and night sweats are a symptom of an imbalance in hormone levels – mainly estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and insulin – and are triggered when your blood sugar is unstable and crashes. At BeBalanced, we work with your body to help balance your hormones and lower stress to help stabilize your blood sugar. As a result, night sweats and hot flashes will dramatically diminish or disappear quickly and naturally.
Low Libido & Vaginal Dryness
One of the leading causes of a decreased sex drive and/or vaginal dryness is a decrease in sex hormone levels. During the first year of menopause, women can lose 80% of their estrogen, leading to symptoms such as lower sexual desire, vaginal dryness, and pain during sex. The good news is that you can balance your hormones naturally through changes to your diet and lifestyle and by reducing stress.

Headaches / Migraines
A headache can be a sign of stress or emotional distress, a blood sugar imbalance, caffeine withdrawal, side effects from certain drugs, or it can result from a medical disorder, such as high blood pressure, anxiety, or depression. Headaches can also be related to a structural spine or neck injury or condition, the foods you are eating, and of course, your hormone levels, especially for women.
Headaches, especially migraine headaches, have been linked to an imbalance between the two main sex hormones, estrogen, and progesterone. Estrogen has been shown to cause your body to retain fluid, including fluid around your brain, which can increase your likelihood of headaches. Progesterone, on the other hand, is a natural diuretic, so it not only reduces fluid around the brain, but it also helps to stabilize your blood pressure and blood sugar. Balancing your hormones, naturally, is a key factor to help alleviate headaches and migraines.
PCOS
PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is one of the most common reproductive health issues, affecting roughly 5 million women in the U.S. alone. Being diagnosed with PCOS and dealing with the associated symptoms such as weight gain, irregular periods, acne, unwanted hair growth, as well as the possibility of infertility, can be devastating. This is especially true for young women dealing with the emotional and physical symptoms that can impact their self-esteem.
People with PCOS suffer from symptoms related to a lack of ovulation and high levels of androgens, or male hormones such as testosterone. All women have some androgens, which are necessary for libido, mood, and bone health. However, women with PCOS generally have much higher levels, creating an imbalance in hormones, causing a myriad of unpleasant symptoms.
So, unless the PCOS treatment you’re using is having a sustainable impact on correcting these hormone imbalances, at the root, all you will end up with is a list of medications that simply band-aid your symptoms.
At BeBalanced, we have helped countless women who are dealing with PCOS to find symptom relief quickly and naturally. We believe that natural hormone balancing is the missing piece to addressing any hormonal endocrine disorder, including PCOS at its core.

Brain Fog / Lack Of Concentration
If you’re experiencing an inability to focus, have trouble remembering things, or feel like you’re walking around in a daze, you know the impact brain fog can have on your life and self-esteem. Several common factors contribute to brain fog, such as stress, lack of sleep, and poor diet. But often, it’s a symptom related to a deeper issue, mainly poor gut health or a hormone imbalance. Addressing the root of your conditions is the first step to getting rid of them. Changing your diet, relieving your stress, getting more sleep, and healing your gut can all help your mental and physical well-being.
Thyroid Issues
The thyroid, found in the middle of the lower neck, produces hormones that affect every cell in the body. These help the body use energy, regulate the production of protein, stay warm, and keep the brain, heart, muscles, and other organs working as they should. If the thyroid produces too much (hyperthyroidism) — or too little (hypothyroidism), it can create major problems.
There are many underlying reasons for thyroid problems. The most common cause is an autoimmune thyroid problem like Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease, in which your immune system attacks your thyroid gland. Various research estimates that up to 90 percent of all cases of hypothyroidism are autoimmune in nature, with the most common result being Hashimoto’s disease. When this happens, your thyroid is not the source of the problem, but the victim of a misguided immune system attack in which your body mistakes your thyroid for a virus.
At BeBalanced we have found that when insulin and cortisol levels are balanced, the thyroid gland becomes much more efficient, lessening and even eliminating the need for medications.

Endometriosis / Fibroids
Endometriosis is one of the most common health issues experienced among women and one of the leading causes of infertility. So common, in fact, that it affects an estimated 1 in 10 women during their reproductive years (usually between the ages of 15 to 49). Yet, on average, it takes 7.5 years for someone to be diagnosed with endometriosis. What’s worse, 30-50% of women who have endometriosis become infertile, yet 20-25% do not even know they have it.
Once finally diagnosed, this often-misunderstood condition is typically treated with synthetic hormones that come with a long list of side effects or invasive surgeries that can render women infertile.
At BeBalanced, we offer natural, non-invasive options to address the root cause of endometriosis. Using a holistic approach, we work on reversing inflammation and oxidative damage, while also supporting healthy hormone balance through a whole foods diet, customized supplementation, stress management, and one-on-one support.
Inflammation, Aches and Pains
Inflammation is the body’s immune system’s response to an irritant. It’s meant to help heal your body from an injury or protect you from viruses, bacteria or toxic chemicals. However, if your body sends out inflammatory cells when you are not sick or injured, you may have chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation happens internally and over a longer period. It’s a response to a larger problem within the body. Not only does chronic inflammation cause joint pain, fatigue, and skin conditions (such as psoriasis, it has also been linked to almost every major disease, including cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, and type 2 diabetes. Not only does chronic inflammation cause joint pain, fatigue, and certain skin conditions, but it has also been linked to almost every major disease, including cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, and type 2 diabetes. The good news is, chronic inflammation can be reversed with the holistic solutions we provide.
