When hormone levels are in balance, body systems are optimized. When hormone levels become unbalanced, this may lead to undesirable symptoms which may negatively affect your quality of life. Symptoms that may indicate a hormone imbalance are:

• Fatigue                        • Headaches 

• Weight gain                • Thinning hair 

• Sleep disturbances   • Depression 

• Brain Fog                    • Mood swings 

• Irritability                    • Loss of libido 

Correcting hormone imbalances is essential to feeling better and restoring proper function. Contact Fay McCain at [email protected] for detailed information. See ads, pages 5, 30 and 32.

RVAThermography.com

Offering safe, non-invasive, radiation-free-imaging. Thermography uses an infrared digital camera to observe and record heat and vascular patterns that could indicate physiological issues. Its many applications include breast health, cardiovascular health, musculoskeletal disorders, dental health, sinus and allergies, thyroid health, organ health and full-body health maintenance. Because the FDA identifies thermography as an adjunct to mammography, anyone who has ever had a mammogram should also have a thermogram. Everyone who values the need to be proactive and stay healthy can benefit from this health discovery tool. Thermographic images are interpreted by Dr. Matthew Lee, M.D., RPh, MS, of eLEEte Physicians, and clients can gain additional information and insight via the Infrared-Body app. Lifestyle Designs offers additional services that can further enhance women’s overall health and wellness, including IonCleanse foot baths, BHRT assessments, Zyto scans, stress management and brain health assessments.
