1 Garlic (cloves, minced)
8 ozs Extra Lean Ground Turkey
1 1/2 cups Mushrooms (sliced)
1 Carrot (diced)

1 1/2 tsps Italian Seasoning
1/8 tsp Sea Salt

Directions

2. Place cauliflower florets in a medium sized saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Let the florets boil until they are soft, about 15 minutes.

7. Transfer the meat mixture to a casserole or pie dish and distribute into an even layer. Top with the cauliflower mash and spread it evenly across the top.
8. Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Turn the oven to a low broil and broil for 10 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and serve. Enjoy!

Did you Know that …Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a more serious form of PMS that affects 1 in 20 women?

PMDD is characterised by more extreme changes in the weeks or days leading to the start of your period. Many women with PMDD experience intense mood changes such as irritability, depression, sadness and/or anxiety.

While these mood changes can be common in women experiencing PMS, often in PMDD these changes can affect those closest to you as well. Missing work or school, avoiding hobbies and tasks once enjoyed and physical symptoms like cramping, bloating, and backache among others, are all signs that you are experiencing more than just PMS.

PMDD is usually the result of the hormonal imbalances created by the menstrual cycle. These hormones, specifically estrogen and progesterone, rise and fall during the different phases leading to the start of your period. There is also some indication that changing levels of chemical messengers in the brain, called neurotransmitters, can affect women who experience PMDD.

If you would like to learn more about how to test for hormonal imbalances and what natural solutions are available for your health concerns, book a FREE Hormone Assessment with our team through the link below! 😍

Through its impact on neurotransmitters within the brain and its sedative effects, valerian has been used for centuries for to help both sleep and anxiety.

When considering the role of valerian in sleep and insomnia, it’s important to note that while valerian can be effective for occasional sleep problems, patients dealing with insomnia usually need to take valerian nightly for about 4 weeks before any major changes are seen.

Additionally, valerian supplementation during the menstrual cycle may reduce the severity of various PMS symptoms like cramps and hot flashes.

It’s incredibly important to note that if you do choose to take valerian that you avoid using other Central Nervous System depressants, such as alcohol and benzodiazepines at the same time.

Did you know that up to 70% of women will develop a uterine fibroid before the age of 50?

Uterine fibroids, often referred to as fibroids, are non-cancerous masses that develop between the layers of uterine tissue. In many cases, fibroids are not discovered until pregnancy, a hysterectomy or until they pose health challenges. The growth of fibroids is related to hormone levels, especially estrogen and progesterone and because of this, fibroids can vary in size.

Some major challenges faced by women dealing with fibroids include pain and bloating, heavy or prolonged bleeding, painful or urgent urination and back pain. Often this pain can change throughout the month as your body produces varying levels of estrogen and progesterone in response to your menstrual cycle. Because of the hormonal link, many women with fibroids and associated symptoms experience some relief during menopause.

At the Hormone Rebalance Centre, we believe that women should not suffer from their hormones and that it is their right to understand what is going on in their bodies and our duty to educate them about their health options.

There seems to be one taboo topic when it comes to hormonal changes: vaginal dryness.

Vaginal dryness is one of the early signs of reduced estrogen levels and is a common concern for women over the age of 40, and even more so over 50, as women enter menopause.

As estrogen declines, this leads to reduced lubrication and moisture in the vaginal area, which not only causes discomfort and pain, but can be the cause of yeast infections, urinary tract infections, painful in*******se and overall reduced libido.

In our latest blog post, Dr. Inna Lokshin, ND shares 4 tips to support vaginal health during times of hormonal changes. Check it out here: https://www.hormonerebalance.com/vaginal-dryness-supporting-vaginal-health-during-times-of-hormonal-changes/

It's important to remember that hormonal transitions are totally normal but it doesn't mean that women should suffer through them! Just because others aren’t talking about it, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. Reach out to us to learn more about your hormone testing and treatment options!

Lavender has been used for centuries for its calming and sleep-inducing aromatherapy, but did you know that within the last number of years, lavender supplementation has been studied for its role in treating anxiety?

Lavender essential oils, sprays and body care products are marketed towards those who want a deeper and more relaxing sleep, and studies show that in some people, this type of aromatherapy is very beneficial!

More recently, capsules containing a supplemental form of lavender have shown great efficacy for treating anxiety. When consuming supplement-grade lavender oil, patients have experienced similar effects and less side effects than SSRI and benzodiazepine drugs - two of the most common prescription treatments for anxiety disorders.

It’s important to choose a quality brand of supplemental lavender for maximum efficacy (and to avoid ingesting lavender essential oils). If you have any questions about using lavender in reaching your health goals, please reach out to our team at Hormone Rebalance Centre! Our team of Naturopathic Doctors are ready to help you get back to feeling like your best self!

With that being said, there are certainly other factors that need to be considered when it comes to poor sleep and therefore the best results come from comprehensive testing and personalized medicine.

The most common form of anemia among women of reproductive age is iron-deficient anemia. This type of anemia is often due to heavy menstrual bleeding, but has other causes as well.

Iron- deficient anemia directly affects production of red blood cells, whose role is to keep oxygen moving throughout your body. This can leave women with anemia feeling fatigued, tired and burned out.

Women with iron deficiency anemia often suffer with heavy periods, both as a cause and result of the lack of iron available for red blood production.

Lacking iron can also lead to dry, pale skin and hair loss. More general symptoms of iron deficiency include headache, leg cramps, cold hands and feet, chest pain and heart palpitations.

Untreated iron deficiency can lead to more severe problems such as heart failure, infertility and hypothyroidism.

Luckily, iron status can be tested through a simple blood test. You can find more testing information at https://www.hormonerebalance.com/investigative-functional-tests/.

It can also be taken through supplementation and eating more iron rich foods, such as good quality beef, chicken, turkey, seafood, and plant based sources such as lentils, beans and spinach.

At the Hormone Rebalance Centre, we believe that women should not suffer from their periods. Reach out to us to learn about testing and treatment options!
