Facts About PMS and Other Hormone Imbalances

PMS and hormone imbalance may be caused by: 

  • High levels of toxin exposure including exposure to pesticides, harmful bacteria, parasites, viruses, cigarette smoke (even second-hand), excessive alcohol and other harmful chemicals or compounds like lead and formaldehyde.
  • New scientific research shows that the flora in your gut (microbiome) plays a crucial role in hormone regulation and regulating inflammation that is at the root of PMS and other hormone imbalance.


    PMS and hormone imbalance can also be caused by: 

  • High amounts of stress and regular release of stress hormones like cortisol, paired with a lack of rest and deep sleep.

    A Clinical Team That Cares

    We want to make sure you really understand this information. For example,  below you will see that liver problems can be a root cause of PMS and hormone imbalance.

    What this means is that a problem in the liver system can lead to an imbalance in your hormonal system. This is why if we simply just give hormones such as giving birth control, you will need to remain on the birth control pretty permanently or your symptoms are likely going to come back.  This is why using birth control does not permanently fix PMS.

    If the problem is stemming from the liver or any of the other root cause areas listed below and we do not fix the root cause, then we will need to always supplement with external hormones. When we do advanced lab testing to figure out the true cause and fix that, we can avoid life long hormonal replacement therapy because understand and fix the root. This is how we make permanent and lasting changes to PMS and other hormonal symptoms.

    Synthetic Hormones may cause the following:

    • Taking prescription drugs oftentimes just masks the symptoms but does nothing to remedy the root cause of the imbalance -- which can be poor diet or nutritional deficiencies, gut issues, toxic environmental factors, or genetic tendencies.
    • Using prescriptions to mask symptoms is dangerous as it allows the disorder to progress without the patient knowing -- and in many cases can create imbalances in other areas of the body.
    • Many medications also have serious side effects -- such as stroke, osteoporosis, anxiety, reproductive problems, cancer and more.
