Most women don’t say “hormone imbalance.” They say something just doesn’t feel right.

Common signs include:

• irregular or skipped periods

• severe PMS or mood swings

• painful cycles

• fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest

• sleep problems

• anxiety that worsens around your period

• headaches or migraines tied to your cycle

• acne or skin changes

• difficulty getting pregnant

You don’t need a diagnosis for your experience to be valid.

Hormones are highly sensitive to stress, sleep disruption, illness, travel, weight changes, and life transitions.

Many women notice changes:

• after prolonged stress

• after stopping birth control

• postpartum

• in their late 30s and 40s

• during perimenopause

Often the body is adapting to something — even if it’s not obvious.

Acupuncture does not add hormones to the body. Instead, it supports systems that influence hormone signaling, including the nervous system, the circulatory system, and endocrine communication.
