The holidays are in full swing, which means celebrations, gatherings, time with loved ones, and… cold and flu season. With various illnesses going around and more time spent in groups, it’s more important than ever to build up a strong immune system that will carry you through the viral season and remain healthy and thriving.

Ladies: you’ve probably heard all about the hot flashes, mood swings, and physical changes that are all part of the inevitable process of menopause. Maybe you’ve even started experiencing some of these things. If you have, you’re certainly not alone. One of the most common changes women notice during this time is weight gain or redistribution, particularly around the middle. Though it can be a frustrating time for your mind and body, it doesn’t have to dictate your quality of life beyond menopause.

Irregular cycles, painful cramps, heavy periods, severe acne, mood swings… any of these symptoms ring a bell? It’s possible that hormone imbalances are at play. Imbalances between male and female sex hormones can range in severity and symptoms, with the more severe cases resulting in conditions like endometriosis or PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome).
