Balancing your hormones creates an ideal state of wellness where your internal chemistry, metabolism, and emotional health are all seamlessly working together to shed unwanted pounds and maintain a natural level of health for you. The diet of most Americans is high in calories and deficient in nutritional value. Additional health burdens are placed upon men and women as the result of declining or imbalanced hormones. These dietary and hormonal imbalances in addition to the high levels of stress we deal with on a daily basis, make it nearly impossible to lose weight and most likely is the very cause of your overweight condition. Unhealthy weight gain, if left unattended, will lead to a wide range of diseases and poor health - including insulin resistance, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, high cholesterol, and many more debilitating diseases. You can control your weight and other hormone related conditions while creating inner harmony, health and wellness with bio-identical hormones and simple lifestyle changes. -Dr. Patricia Beckstead
