Here it is--the whole enchilada. All you need to do is read through this list and check every symptom that you're experiencing. We'll do the rest!*
- Abnormal pap smears (one or more??)
- Bloating and/or fluid retention (perhaps you gain more than 2 pounds before your period?)
- Bone loss, such as osteopenia and/or osteoporosis
- Brain fog, or difficulty concentrating, or feel slow, a bit apathetic
- Cold hands and feet -- wear socks to bed
- Constipation--Poop less often than once per day, without caffeine to trigger
- Crave salt
- Cyclical headaches (particularly menstrual or hormonal migraines)
- Depression - from low-grade to major depression, on prescription medication?
- Hot flashes, night sweats, or power surges

Page 2 Of 6 Continue on...*
- Droopy boobs, or breasts lessening in volume? (Good news: Wonderbra is not the only answer.)
- Fatigue, or do you fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow; or it could come in the morning, with joint aches and pains
- Feel weak, and it limits your ability to exercise
- Hair loss (including outer third of eyebrows and/or eyelashes) or dry, straw-like hair? (This both indicates a hormonal imbalance AND a beauty crisis. We shall address it.)
- Have a tendency toward anemia
- Have been told your blood pressure is low, or get dizzy when standing up from lying down or seated (also known as postural hypotension)
- Headaches or signs of accelerated aging, such as wrinkles before your time
- Heavy or painful menstruation (including a diagnosis of endometriosis or miscarriage in the first trimester) Note: Endometriosis is when pieces of the uterine lining grow outside of the uterine cavity, such as the on the ovaries or bowel, and cause painful periods.
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol

Page 3 Of 6....*
- Increased belly fat, which some call a “muffin top”

- Low stress resilience, and/or feel overwhelmed more than 50% of the week
- Memory lapses or feeling distracted, especially under duress
- Muscle or joint pain
- Painful or tender breasts, especially in the 7 to 10 days prior to your period
- PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome)
- Poor memory (you walk into a room to do something, then wonder what it was) or other loss of executive functioning or drawing a blank mid-sentence
- Shakiness between meals, or irritability, also known as hypoglycemia
- Sleep problems, such as difficulty winding down or disrupted sleep between 1 and 4 a.m.

Page 4 of 6 Almost There...*
- Sugar cravings
- Trouble losing weight--your metabolism feels slower than everyone in your tribe
- Vaginal dryness, irritation, or loss of feeling -- or lack of juiciness elsewhere (dry eyes, dry skin, dry clitoris, painful sex)
- Wrinkles, as in La Mer no longer working miracles
- You are a cyst maker -- such as ovarian cysts, breast cysts, or endometrial cysts (polyps)
- A red flush on your face (or a diagnosis of rosacea)
- Heavy bleeding or postmenopausal bleeding or fibroids
- Hot flashes, night sweats, or power surges
- Weepiness, sometimes over the most ridiculous things, or mini-breakdowns/anxiety
- Gall bladder problems or removal

Page 5 of 6 Last Questions ...*
- Excess hair on your face, chest, or arms
- Acne
- Thinning head hair (which makes you question the justice of it all if you’re also experiencing excess hair growth elsewhere)?
- Discoloration of your armpits (darker and thicker than your normal skin)
- Skin tags, especially on your neck and upper torso? (They’re small, flesh-colored growths on the skin surface, only a few millimeters in size, and smooth. They are usually noncancerous and develop from friction.)
- Unstable blood sugar, Hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia
- Menstrual cycles occurring more than every 35 days or infertility
