At the end of 2018, I started feeling exhausted, had lots of mood swings and irregular periods. Right away I knew my body was going through some king of hormonal imbalance. I tried to give it some time, but then I started to feel depress and knew I needed to seek help.
I visited my primary care doctor for a physical exam and she thought it would be a good idea to see an endocrinologist due to my family’s thyroid and diabetes history. After some very extensive blood work, aside from low levels of vitamin D, the endocrinologist didn’t find anything of concern. In order to help with my symptoms, she offered antidepressants and birth control. I really don’t like taking any medication; therefore I declined and decided to look into alternative options.
Immediately I reestablished a daily exercise routine and started taking vitamin D3, which helped tremendously. Even though my body was feeling better, it still wasn’t at 100%. I knew that my body was missing something and as I continued searching for a more natural and holistic approach, I came across Happy Healthy Hippie.
It’s a dietary supplement company that believes that wellness comes from the earth, plus all of their products are natural, non-GMO and plant base. Therefore I decided to try their “Go with the Flow” supplement, which main ingredients are maca, chesteberry, dong quai and black cohosh.
I have been taking it for about a month and half and have to say it has made such a great difference. The number one thing I noticed was the improvement in my emotional state. No more mood swings, irritability or feeling of sadness. My energy got a boost and my period came on time with no cramping or bloating.
On my follow up appointment with the endocrinologist, I showed her the supplement and she mentioned that all of the main ingredients were great for hormonal balance and encouraged me to continue taking them. It is interesting to see how my doctors couldn’t help me, but Go with the Flow from Happy Healthy Hippie has made me feel in peace with my body again.
So if you are having some of the same symptoms I had and your doctors can’t figure it out, been diagnosed with some kind of hormonal imbalance or are going through menopause, I urge you to ask your doctor if this is something you can consider. After all it is all natural!
NOTE: You may be asking yourself, how did she know she had a hormonal imbalance? A long time ago I read the book “Taking Charge of your Fertility” by Toni Weschler. This book helped me get to know my body better and how to listen to it. It also helped me conceive my first child. Hope it can be of any help to you too.
