Female Hormone Disorder – The 21st Century Endemic

Bridgets
Female hormone disorder (FHD) is the new, and aptly named by the Health Queen,Sam Beau Patrick, hormone phenomena that is seizing modern day woman.

The modern day lady is typically smart, educated, goal driven, committed in whole to their partner; their kids; their netball team and girlfriends. They are usually working 30 hours per week, exercising to some degree, drinking wine, consuming lots of love-giving-serotonin-promoting chocolate, and managing the household budget.

What a bucket load of stress!

What is changing….

Ladies with FHD typically have the following measurable changes in their blood tests or saliva tests:

1. Elevated estrogen

2. Elevated testosterone

3. Insulin and glucose intolerance (which is the crux of the whole FHD). Or impaired glucose intolerance (which currently affects 1 in 4 Australian adults)!


Ladies experience:

1. Excess abdominal fat

2. A hairy chin or excess facial hair

3. Stressed facial expressions

4. A short shallow breathing pattern (look at the lady side-on to see her chest rise, or watch the way they talk – garbled, frantic words, suppressed giggles because it takes up too much oxygen).

5. Uncontrollable binging (usually sugary foods - chocolate, lollies and alcohol being favorites)

6. An inability to shift excess weight.

What the ladies are feeling:

1. Angry, irritable, revengeful, anxious and stressed

2. Embarrassment about their physical appearance

3. Annoyance and frustration about not being able to rationally control their binges, their decisions in general and their paralysis at taking pro-active control

4. Isolated

The simple 5 point answer

(Which is a very simplified , and basic way to address the very complex, evolving beings that I refer to as “Bridget”)

1. Relax, breathe and then breathe deeply into your stomach. And then tell yourself “ in the big picture, it doesn’t matter.”

2. Positively recall everything that works in your day – you wake up with your partner/husband/a clear head – you have someone somewhere that thinks of you last before you go to bed and that you have ample opportunities every day to improve your life.

3. That life should be easier

4. That your life choices are 100% in your hands. You are the only person responsible and able to bring health and happiness into your life. It's Ok and things can be fun, easy and appear to you in abundance ALL the TIME!


5. Nutrition and feeding yourself healthy choices is empowering.
