There are many reasons why your hormones may be out of balance, so it is important to schedule time to speak with your doctor if you’re experiencing any of these symptoms or are not feeling your best. If stress is a contributing factor, be encouraged knowing that you have the power to change your mindset and approach stress differently. Eating a well-balanced diet, getting quality sleep, staying physically active and exploring stress management and resilience practices that work for you can have a great effect on your health.
