Menstrual profile
This section of the Report relates to your answers about your monthly cycle, the regularity of your cycle, and whether you have any associated symptoms.
Premenstrual fluid retention
You indicated bloating or fluid retention. For this question, we're referring to bloating that occurs for several days, rather than just after eating.
Fluid retention is a sign of oestrogen dominance. Oestrogen which is not well-balanced causes fluids to accumulate in a range of tissues, making you feel uncomfortable and unhappy with your appearance. One of the best short-term remedies for fluid retention - apart from balancing your hormones - is vitamin B6, which helps the body to quickly breakdown excess oestrogen.

Peri/Menopausal Profile
This section of the Report relates to your answers concerning any symptoms or signs of perimenopause and menopause, such as hot flushes, irregular periods, aches & pains, etc.
Hot flushes
You indicated that you suffer from hot flushes. They are a typical symptom of menopause and often dramatically affect the quality of one's life.
Hot flushes occur both in women approaching menopause (peri-menopause) and those already in menopause. Usually, the severity of hot flushes is linked to the amount of stress someone has experienced over the past 10 years. The reason being that the adrenal glands - which take over sex hormone production during this time - are busy prioritising the production of cortisol rather than oestrogen.
Whilst Happy Hormones assists with reducing hot flushes, it's still very important to engage in regular exercise, yoga and meditation while avoiding triggers like sugar, caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods, antibiotics and dehydration. We often recommend taking Happy Hormones twice a day in powder form, or 4 capsules per day, to start to get the flushes under control.

Aches & Pains
You indicated some level of joint pain. Aches and pains are a characteristic symptom of people suffering from conditions like fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis or any other joint associated condition.
Joint pain is also very typical in women going through perimenopause and menopause. As your hormones balance, so too will your joint pains.

Liver & Digestive System
This section of the Report relates to your answers relating to symptoms of any digestive or liver issues or problems, etc.
Bloating after meals
You mentioned that you experience bloating after meals. This is a common sign of reduced digestive capacity or food intolerances. By following the 8-Week Program, which has many digestive aids, your digestion will improve and the bloating will subside.
Taking Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) before meals will strengthen your digestive capacity, as will ginger tea.
Here are some more ideas on how to overcome bloating:

Our Recommendations
Mindfulness/Sleep
This section of the Report relates to your answers concerning any symptoms or signs of poor sleep, stress and general mindfulness.
Stress
You've indicated the presence of stress.
Chronic stress is one of the most common disruptors of our hormonal balance. Although it is common and pervasive throughout our society, it's important to take it seriously and recognise the impacts upon your health.
Yoga, meditation, exercise, adequate sleep, and avoiding stimulants help to manage your levels. It's essential to make your health a priority, rather than always looking after everything and everyone else. Life will always throw stressful situations at us - it's about how we cope and manage the stress that determines our health outcomes.

Quality of sleep
You mentioned you're not sleeping well. Sleep is one of, if not the most important factors for balancing your hormones.
Your whole circadian rhythm is linked to your endocrine system in a complex play. Hormonal imbalance will result in poor sleep quality or insomnia, and a lack of sleep will contribute to hormonal imbalance. Sleep is integral to well-balanced hormones.
Begin by engaging in daily exercise; avoid all stimulants such as caffeine, and consider yoga and meditation to move you towards sleeping soundly.

Weight Management
This section of the Report relates to your answers concerning any symptoms or signs relating to weight gain.
Weight loss
You indicated that you need to better manage your weight. Sustaining a healthy weight is more complicated than calories in, calories out. There are many blocks which can prevent us from achieving our goals. Hormonal imbalance is the most common one, and this is where Happy Hormones can help.
Other blocks include insulin resistance, environmental toxins, inadequate exercise, medical interventions, thyroid function, nutrient deficiencies, adrenal insufficiency, and poor gut health. Combining Happy Weight with our 28 Day RESET Program addresses some of the blocks, and paves the way for sustainable weight loss.

Sugar cravings
You mentioned you have sugar cravings. Whilst these can be a sign of hormonal imbalance occurring at certain times throughout your menses, other factors can also be at play. These factors include nutrient deficiencies, blood sugar fluctuations, poor bacteria in the gut, stress & inflammation. All of which further contribute to a state of hormonal imbalance.
One of the keys to successfully treating hormonal imbalance is to minimise sugar intake since blood sugar fluctuations influence hormonal imbalance. For those who find they need extra support, supplementation with Chromium Picolinate, Magnesium, Lipoic acid, Berberine and Bitter Melon can be useful.

Inflammation
This section of the Report relates to your answers concerning any symptoms or signs associated with elevated inflammation which is a primary driver of chronic illnesses.
Aches & Pains
You indicated some level of joint pain. Aches and pains are a characteristic symptom of people suffering from conditions like fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis or any other joint associated condition.
Joint pain is also very typical in women going through perimenopause and menopause. As your hormones balance, so too will your joint pains.

Skin, Hair & Nails
This section of the Report relates to your answers concerning any symptoms or changes in your skin, hair or nails.
Itchy skin
You indicated you have itchy skin. An overburdened or sluggish liver and poor digestive function can result in itchy skin. Itchy and sensitive skin are also both very common during perimenopause and menopause. A new area of science which may explain why your skin may be itchy relates to the bacterial balance in your skin and is called the skin microbiome.
