While many people think of periods, menopause, and PMS when they think of hormones, hormones actually control just about everything in your body – including digestion.
Women’s health
There is no aspect of our health and wellbeing that our hormones don’t impact. So let’s break it down here and support our smile, and oral health, with our balanced hormones.
Our liver makes bile under the influence of a hormone, somastatin, combined with other factors such as the quantity and quality of the food we eat.
But that’s not really the hormone we’re interested in. We are more interested in how our female hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, influence our gallbladder health.
Hypothyroidism is the most common hormone imbalance impacting women, and it is an absolute bitch when it comes to our…
As women our period comes every month (ideally!) from our teens into our 50s. And yet many of us have NO IDEA what is really happening. Well, we understand the basics. But when something goes wrong, it’s a mystery to most of us!
Ok. Seriously, queefing is totally normal. A queef is simply the sound of air being released from the vagina.
Impacting up to 1 in 10 people, with women accounting for the majority of cases of Hashimoto's, many of them don't even realize it. Statistics suggest that up to 50-60% of people who are hypothyroid don't even know it. That's a lot of women (and men too!) walking around, feeling exhausted and unwell, without understanding why or receiving appropriate treatment.
Long period cycles are cycles that last longer than 35 days, but less than three months. After 3 months without a period, you will be diagnosed with secondary amenorrhea (if you previously had regular cycles).
The most common cause of heavy periods is your hormones. And heavy periods are more likely during times of hormonal flux, such as perimenopause and during our teens.
