(men and women)

As described by Drs. Richard and Karilee Shames in their book Feeling Fat, Fuzzy, or Frazzled? any imbalance in hormones can give a person trouble with many aspects of day-to-day life.

Different areas of the imbalance will result in trouble with different problems.

“Fat“: most of the imbalance is from the thyroid gland not working properly

• problems with thinking straight

• trouble focusing

• difficult to remember details, names, etc.

• low sex drive

• erectile dysfunction (E.D.)

• hot flashes, night sweats, dryness

“Frazzled“: most of the imbalance is from the adrenal glands

• issues with managing stress

• mood swings or moodiness

• fatigue that can feel like ‘wired-tired’ or overwhelmed feeling
