3 Key Points: 

  1. Your hormones are like a symphony. Everyone must play together to make beautiful music…we can’t have a rogue violin or tuba or it throws it all off balance! Same goes for hormones. 
  2. When it comes to weight loss or gain, the thyroid and the adrenals should be explored. 
  3. Reducing inflammation in the body through nutrition, getting more sleep and managing stress are key to happy hormones
