(2 pages, 60Kb)
Women with hormone imbalances present a wide variety of symptoms, which can be traced to root imbalances in organs that impact endocrine function. Depending on our symptoms and conditions, we may have imbalances in the pancreas, liver, kidneys and adrenals, or thyroid, for example. With good guidance toward the correct medicinal foods, these imbalances can be healed—sometimes very quickly—so we can have healthy normal cycles.

Underlying these physical concerns is a deeper source of hormonal imbalance: negative thoughts and feelings about our bodies, our lives, and about being a woman in this world. These negative ideas create a stress response in the body that taxes our organs and contributes to hormonal health problems. Also, negative energy directed towards ourselves often drives destructive patterns in food choices, self-care, work, relationships, and more.
This is why, at Laughing Sage Wellness, we don’t just hand you a meal plan and some supplements. Instead we offer you a total healing experience—not simply eliminating symptoms, but correcting all underlying imbalances so that you avoid relapses and experience a high level of energy and well-being! We provide a supportive listening environment and counselors who will help you investigate and heal the physical and emotional sources of your health concerns.
Start your program with us today by investigating below what your health symptoms reveal about your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Then get in touch with us to talk it over with one of our supportive counselors.
