Are you having hot flashes? Do you have trouble sleeping? Does it seem like all of a sudden you are having a really difficult time with stressful situations? Maybe you’re gaining weight that you can’t lose, you're super irritable or you’re having inexplicable food cravings. So what do all of these things have in common? They are symptoms of hormonal imbalances within the body.

Your first reaction may be to Google-diagnose. Resist the urge! Instead, make an appointment  to see your doctor to dig really deep. In the meantime, start with your diet! A lot of hormonal issues are directly tied to deficiencies in a person’s diet.

Aside from seeing your physician, add some of these foods (more) into your meal plans. It’s proven that they can help to get you back to feeling like your old self again... Maybe even better!

About Shellie Reneé

Just a woman who digs all things relationships. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, that is. I've been writing (professionally) for close to 20 years, including having two books published. I'm also a marriage life coach and doula. Sometimes I speak to large audiences or do radio interviews, but usually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, surfin' the 'net and penning stuff that I wish I had read in my early 20s.

Listen, I don't have all the answers, not by a LOOOOONG shot. But whatever I can do to spare folks any heartbreak, bitterness or straight-up drama, I'll devote some keystrokes to doing. 

That's it...in a nutshell. For the most part. Kinda. ;)
