The Impact of Stress & Hormones

The Hidden Impact of Hormone Imbalance

For many women, weight loss, mood regulation, and energy levels become increasingly difficult to manage after age 35. In a recent interview, Dawn Cutillo, author of The Hormone Shift and founder of BeBalanced, explains how a hormonal imbalance could be at the root of these struggles.

Despite diet, exercise, and medication, many women continue to experience stubborn weight gain, chronic fatigue, mood swings, and frustrating menstrual issues. The real culprit? A hormonal shift that starts at puberty and intensifies with stress, pregnancy, and menopause.

 

The Growing Health Concerns Among Women

Dawn has worked with thousands of women, and she has identified several trends linked to hormonal imbalances, including:

  • Difficulty losing weight due to a slowed metabolism.
  • The rising use of antidepressants for mood disorders that don’t fully resolve symptoms.
  • Increased reliance on synthetic thyroid medication may not address all fatigue-related issues.
  • The use of birth control pills to regulate painful or irregular periods can lead to long-term health concerns.
  • A growing number of hysterectomies and invasive procedures for fibroids, cysts, and endometriosis.
