As I have mentioned in prior blogs, your hormones dance with one another. This is why, when evaluating hormone balance, you have to take into account the various hormones interacting in your body. When one hormone becomes imbalanced this can lead to other hormonal imbalances. Stress hormones and thyroid hormones are good examples of this.

It is finally SPRING and in Northern Michigan (where I am based) the snow is starting to melt and the sidewalks are starting to clear. It’s time to get outside and start WALKING! I speak with patients every day about walking as a key part of overall fitness and well-being. Walking is fundamental to general fitness, helps to lower stress hormones (cortisol), and can even lower the blood sugar impact of a meal!
