​Understanding Hormone Imbalance: Identifying the Symptoms​

Have you ever felt like your body is trying to send you a message, but you're just not sure what it's saying?

As women, our hormones can sometimes feel like an enigmatic puzzle, and deciphering their signals can be quite the challenge. But don't fret, you're not alone!

Hormones play a crucial role in our overall well-being, affecting everything from our energy levels to our mood. When they're out of whack, it can feel like your body is rebelling. Here are some red flags that might indicate a hormone imbalance:

  • Fatigue: If you're constantly feeling drained, even after a good night's sleep, your hormones might be to blame.
  • Weight Fluctuations: Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight can be a sign that your hormones are out of sync.
  • Mood Swings: Feeling like you're on an emotional rollercoaster? Hormonal imbalances can wreak havoc on your mood.
  • Sleep Issues: Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep can be linked to hormonal disruptions.
  • Skin Changes: Acne, dryness, or other skin issues can often be traced back to hormonal fluctuations.
  • Digestive Problems: Bloating, constipation, or other digestive woes can sometimes be a symptom of hormonal imbalance.

Why It Matters: Ignoring these signs can lead to more significant health issues down the road. By paying attention to your body's signals, you can take proactive steps to restore balance and improve your overall well-being. Think of it as giving your body the TLC it deserves!

What You Can Do: First and foremost, don't hesitate to reach out for professional help. As someone who has dedicated over two decades to helping women like you, I can tell you that understanding and addressing hormone imbalances can make a world of difference. Here are a few tips to get you started:

  • Diet: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole foods. Think of it as fueling your body with premium gasoline instead of the cheap stuff.
  • Exercise: Regular physical activity can help regulate your hormones. Plus, it's a great way to boost your mood and energy levels.
  • Stress Management: Find ways to manage stress, whether it's through meditation, yoga, or simply taking a few minutes each day to breathe deeply.

Remember, you're not alone in this journey. Your body is a complex, beautiful system, and sometimes it just needs a little extra care to function at its best. If you have any questions or need personalized advice, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here to support you every step of the way.

​What Is a Microcurrent Facial, and How Does It Work?​

Beauty and wellness innovation has come a long way. A few years ago, during a trip to Paris, I rediscovered microcurrent treatments. I had an appointment with one of my favorite facialists, Sophie Carbonari, who has a stunning studio in the Palais Royal.

I adore her and her facials, which seamlessly incorporate microcurrent technology. The session was exceptional, so much so that I decided then and there to explore incorporating microcurrent facials into my practice.

If you're familiar with my work, you know that I only recommend treatments I use personally. I'm a huge fan of microcurrent treatments and recommend them to anyone looking to enhance their skincare regimen—read on to learn what they are and how they work.

Also, my new microcurrent machine should arrive from Europe in the next few weeks. I will keep you posted.

​I Spent 15 Minutes in the Sun Every Day for 30 Days—And It Had a Huge Impact on My Mood​

Small habits can make big differences in your well-being—and sitting in the sun in the mornings may just be one of them.

Research shows that getting as little as 10 minutes of daily sun exposure boasts many benefits: improved mood, better sleep, and increased vitamin D levels, to name a few. There's no time like the present, just don't forget your sunscreen if you plan on longer sun exposure :)

​One Woman's Guide to Advocating for Yourself & Setting Healthy Boundaries​

We often find ourselves in the role of caregivers—for our children, partners, aging parents, friends, and communities. While taking care of others can be deeply fulfilling, over time, it can leave us feeling depleted if we don't make our own health and self-care a priority as well.

If you feel your life revolves around caring for everyone else's needs while neglecting your own, know you are not alone. I wrote this post to explore the topic for myself, I hope that it is helpful for you too.


I’m cheering for you. Have a wonderful week!

Dr. Cat 🥰
