These books can help you understand and deal with your hormonal issues or help you maintain hormonal health and balance. While the topic is complex, there are a variety of books written on hormonal health with women in mind. Now, I rarely experience these dark moods that used to suffocate me monthly. But when I finally learned about PMDD and the hormones that were off-balance I was able to take action. For years I had no idea why I became so severely depressed a week out of the month. Why is it important to understand hormone health?įor me personally, I found out that I had PMDD, a serious condition where one basically has very severe PMS. Learning more about your body and why it feels and acts the way it does can really change your life. While I think there needs to be an education shift on the female body in both schools and by doctors (my GYN still doesn’t take me seriously when I bring up these things) the shift should start with us.

The truth is hormones play a vital role in virtually every part of our daily life – from your sleep and appetite to mood, weight loss (or gain), to your mental health, your cognitive abilities, and even things like your sex drive. Do other people get depressed before their period?.Why do I get acne when I get my period?.

Is birth control the only way to not get pregnant?.Why do I have more energy some days than others?.Why do I crave specific foods during my period?.Why do I get migraines when I get my period?.If you are just diving into hormone health you might be asking questions like: We’ve just been taught that there’s not much differentiating us from men when we are biologically worlds apart. Learning how to manage your hormones and getting in tune with your body might sound *woo woo* but it really isn’t. If you are anything like me, I had no idea how crazy complicated female bodies were until I started on my hormone healing journey.

There is a lot of information out there when it comes to heart health, digestive health, brain health, and virtually every area of our health – but sadly, not a ton when it comes to our hormone health.
