I have Grave’s Disease and had radiation on it in 2011 to destroy my thyroid cells. Good thing is, my rapid heartbeat became normal and my anxiety got very noticeably better. Bad thing is instead of having more than enough thyroid hormones, my thyroid wasn’t able to make enough hormones. I was put on Synthroid for about a year after the radiation, which was working wonders for me. I became pregnant in October of 2012 and chose to stop my Synthroid medication because I didn’t want to be on any meds while pregnant. Of course, I had to lie to my doctor and tell her I was still taking them. Well, after 3 months of feeling GREAT and NORMAL, my blood work showed indeed, my thyroid hormones were literally perfect – right in the middle! To make a long story short, up until 3 months after I gave birth, I was in the best shape of my LIFE (didn’t work out once). I wondered….HOW IS THIS HAPPENING?? I started researching hCG and came to the conclusion that that’s what was making me lose weight and feel great! I actually LOST WEIGHT DURING MY PREGNANCY and KEPT IT OFF FOR 3 MONTHS BY DOING NOTHING! I am convinced that it was the hCG – partially due to the fact that after the “birth” effects of hCG dwindled away, I started to gain the weight back. I recently bought some hCG activator from Vitamin Shoppe and am anxious to see the results. I would HIGHLY suggest you try it.
God bless,

]]>I truly appreciate all of your articles and find them very interesting as well as inspirational. I have quite a past when it comes to infertility…too much to really get into. I do have one beautiful 5 year old boy who we conceived naturally. My last pregnancy ended at 23 weeks when I had to deliver our baby girl after not hearing her heart beat at a routine exam. I went on the pill after all of that because I couldn’t imagine being pregnant ever again. We decided this past fall that we would try again. I used clomid for one month but had side effects that were not safe, so I chose to go a more holistic route and used some herbal hormone replacements. Still no luck. This past month, I didn’t get my period until day 43. I had cramps on and off throughout the month. It has been emotionally draining waiting that long to find out if I’m pregnant, plus the pain that I’m having with cramping is quite uncomfortable. I decided to go back on the pill to regulate my cycle more than anything. I have pretty much given up on getting pregnant as I don’t want to use any drugs. Do you feel that the diet you mentioned in this article could really help regulate my period? Are there any other natural remedies I could try that would allow me to feel better? I also have been having cramping just in my left ovary area lately. Thanks so much or your help.

I have been having a few issues with being able to have enough energy to interact with my son after work, hair loss, stress on top of stress, yeast/bv atleast once or more a month, trying to loose weight, and sweating for no reason…when I say no reason I mean during the day sitting all day at my desk my under arms look like I ran a few miles, and at night I’m drenched, have to change my clothes, and lay on a towel. I have asked my doctor numerous times to have a test done to see if I have a hormone/pH/vitamin issue with my body but she doesn’t acknowledge my question/concern. Instead i was given a referral to a dermatologist and he gave me pills to stop the sweating. That worked for a little bit but now not so much. Im 29 and all of these things are taking a toll on myself esteem (as my friends have told me recently) and I would really love to hear your thoughts and suggestions as I would like to get this under control. Oh! I forgot to mention that I have had mirena for about two years which might not be helping my situation at all.

It can take your body some time to normalize once stopping the pill, especially when it was used for a long period of time. I would focus on eating good proteins and healthy fats.

I’m still not a fan of those methods either. I believe natural family planning is the best option! Check this out for my alternatives: https://draxe.com/health/birth-control-pills/
]]>It may have an effect on that as it can help regulate hormones. Everyone’s body responds differently so it’s hard to say.
]]>I think they could still be beneficial

]]>I am constantly tired, moody, lack of energy/motivation. I expect it is hormone related. I’ve recently started PT sessions and I am not losing any weight at all and i am around 20kgs over weight. I am not getting any energy from it. I met my partner when I was 38 (I am 40 in May this year) – at the time I was not on the pill but my mood swings almost lead to us breaking up. I went on the pill cerezette and I was much better. I cam off the pill in November as we are trying for a baby now and the uncontrollable mood swings, aggression, tiredness and general lack of well being has returned. I am working hard to improve my diet. Can you recommend what I can do. I am desperate to get my life back at this point.
Thanks Jo

]]>Thanks for letting me know. I’ve informed my team and we are working to correct that
]]>Doing some vegetable juice (1 glass/day) is fine but following something like the GAPS diet is ideal
]]>I think there are better products available

Thyme essential oil may be beneficial in helping to increase progesterone. You also may want to decrease estrogen by eating cruciferous vegetables, not drinking out of plastic bottles or containers, eliminating soy, etc. I would also look at tips in this article for balancing hormones. I typically recommend 2-5000IU of vitamin D3 each day.
]]>I’m off my birth control since 4 months or so? …. I noticed I’m dealing with acne on my face it’s not that bad but still for my 36 yrs of age its kind of disturbing.
I’m thinking not to use the pill again ….I need to fix my. Hormonal imbalance. I suffering from thinking hair and hair loss wich is bothering me the most.
I expirace I have the feverish flashes once I feel extremely cold and next hr or so I sweat most under my armpits and I feel cold again….I know it’s my hormones, I use maca, I drink green tea use gelatin and buy most organic produce. I wonder what could I take to fix my hormones I’m so tired…I also use sometimes ashwaganda… Pumpkin seeds and other herbs you name it…but I still have the symptoms. I don’t know what to do? Do you have any suggestions Dr. Axe? Thank you.
Thanks.

The Billing’s Method works very well, and it teaches you how to ‘read’ your body during the different stages of your cycle. Helps in family planning – both ways.
]]>Diet is absolutely a huge factor as well!

Otherwise, email micah.draxe@gmail.com to get it emailed to you.
All this said, I started using progesterone cream about a week ago and have really noticed an improvement in the aches and pains, but I am afraid to continue it for too long since I have read that you can and usually develop ‘dermal fatigue’ and long term it can do more harm than good. Am now investigating ‘Maca’ but not sure what studies show in long term use. Maybe I am not taking enough d3 on a regular basis? (I take about 1,500 mg daily, and very ocassionally I take another 1,000.)
Am wondering what Dr. Axe recommends in all this? Should I up my Vit d3 somewhat? Should I seriously look into Maca and forget the progesterone cream? What is my safest route?
