Hormonal imbalance leads to a wide number of symptoms and it can be difficult to accurately diagnose and treat. As one hormone gets out of balance, other hormones are affected, and this is particularly difficult when women are also dealing with the hormonal changes of perimenopause. Adding to the confusion are symptoms caused by mineral deficiencies, such as magnesium, or by excessive growth of intestinal yeast – both of which are more common. Dr Carolyn Dean is uniquely qualified to help women understand their symptoms, what they stem from, and to help them recover their health.
