This post was
triggered by reading an interview today with Suzanne Somers and Dr.
Joseph Mercola.
And I plan to read
her latest book "Tox-Sick" soon.
Teenage hormone
imbalance has a great deal to do with teen weight gain or weight
loss.
Symptoms of hormone imbalance include the following:
- weight gain
- depression
- fatigue
- poor concentration
- too big/too small appetite
- nervousness
- insomnia
And there are more
subtle symptoms too like food allergies and painful digestion.
But seeing as we're
ballet dancers here, let's focus on teen weight gain. Is it because
of:
- starchy diet
- not enough good protein
- not enough salads and raw veggies (organic!)
- not enough filtered water
- bad sleep from all of the above and anxiety
Get a hormone balance test!
I am not going to
explain how hormone balance is related to organic foods, good
proteins and good sleep, because I would have to write a book - and
Suzanne already did.
Here is the transcript of the Suzanne Somers interview
and it's a great read for teens with weight gain or hormone imbalance
issues and their sisters and moms too!
If you are a dancing
teen, young adult or pre-menopause dancer who thinks you may have a
hormone imbalance, please read the interview and get the book "Tox-Sick by Suzanne Somers".
I have been through
this situation and I guarantee that you will save yourself years of
struggle and grief and ill health if you understand the way to
balance your hormones with diet and perhaps some nutritional
supplements.
To your health!
