Hormones & Stress Wellness Package
Our lifestyles are primarily responsible for disrupting our hormones…
Maintaining an ideal weight can be challenging, especially for those in our later stages of life. What many don't know is that an undetected hormone imbalance is often the key factor when it comes to maintaining an ideal weight. Hormones play a role in regulating mood, weight management, metabolism, blood sugar regulation and fat accumulation. As we age, natural changes in hormone levels can trigger many symptoms of imbalance – including unexplained weight gain. My Hormone Balancing Plan includes a discounted rate on the Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism test so we can identify your specific underlying hormone imbalances associated with excess weight gain, thyroid issues, chronic stress, vitamin D deficiency and lowered mood.
