Synopsis "Is it me or my Hormones? The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly About Pms, Perimenopause, and all the Crazy Things That Occur With Hormone Imbalance"
One of the most common and agonizing problems women face today is hormonal imbalance. Sometimes it's a nightmarish premenstrual syndrome--depression, cravings, bloating, weight gain, irritability, and even out-of-control rage for up to three weeks each month. Sometimes it's periods so painful that you have to arrange your entire life around your cycle. Sometimes it's a rocky passage into perimenopause that changes everything you know about yourself and your body. Luckily, you can resolve these hormonal issues--you just need accurate, actionable information to do so. In Is It Me or My Hormones?, Marcelle Pick, author of The Core Balance Diet and Is It Me or My Adrenals?, delves into the often misunderstood world of female hormonal imbalance. Sharing her personal struggles and her experiences with patients, Marcelle helps you understand how the right diet, exercise, supplements, herbs, and psychological support, occasionally complemented with bioidentical hormones, can free you from hormone disruption.
