Ask Dr. Bri Chmilar
“What are some overlooked signs of hormone imbalance?”
Great question! Usually I don’t see one big symptom. It’s a bunch of little things that slowly become your “normal.”
Painful periods.
Feeling exhausted no matter how much you sleep.
Mood changes before your cycle.
Emotionally overwhelmed
Uncontrollable Bloating
Acne, headaches, spotting, anxiety.
A lot of women have been living in survival mode for so long that they forget what feeling good actually feels like.
In acupuncture, we don’t just look at these symptoms separately, we look at the patterns behind them. The goal is to support the body as a whole and help bring it back into balance.
