Understanding Hormonal Poverty in Women

Hormonal poverty refers to a state where women lack the necessary hormonal resources to meet their body's needs. Hormones are essential communicators in the body, regulating various functions and systems. Women experience a natural decline in hormones, starting around age 35, leading to hormonal poverty. This imbalance impacts mood, brain function, inflammation, and other areas of life. Many women suffer unnecessarily as they believe these symptoms are normal due to the misconception perpetuated by mainstream medicine. Balancing hormones is crucial for optimal health and well-being beyond the age of 40.
