Living a Healthier Life

I was fortunate to grow up as an athlete and a very active woman. I think it has greatly influenced my health. I have always had a great metabolism and more than my share of testosterone. This means I have always had good muscles for a female and I am also fairly assertive. When I started my year of change, as I call it, I became very tired and lost most of my motivation. I noticed that I started getting flabby particularly in the stomach area. I was a partner in a weight loss center at the time and I was working with many women who had the same symptoms or who were having more than normal problems losing weight. I watch what I eat and I know many of them were doing a good job on the diet. What I have decided is watching your weight and exercising sometimes is just not enough. I feel that it is imperative for women to check their hormones. I believe the best way to do this is with a saliva test. It is getting easier to find Doctors who support this. I went to a nurse practitioner. I think the reason it is important to check hormones levels is because of the amount of hormones in our food supply; no wonder our hormones can be out of balance. I found I did not have enough testosterone and I am now taking a natural creme from a compounding pharmacist. My energy level, my motivation and my muscle tone has greatly improved. I feel good again! Let me know what has worked for you!
