If you’re over 35 and facing confusing physical and emotional changes, you’re not alone, and it’s not just in your head. Your body’s 400+ chemical messengers (aka hormones) are changing.
Hi Fronds,
It’s Dr. Gabby, Rootless’s in-house Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM) and licensed acupuncturist (LAc).
I’ve dedicated my practice to empowering women to heal their health by addressing the root cause of their symptoms: their hormones.
Through my personal hormonal journey and extensive clinical experience, I’ve learned that the cause of most (if not all) mental and physical health issues are rooted in hormone health. Puberty and peri/menopause will affect 100% of women, and with over 1 billion women worldwide entering peri/menopause (and not nearly enough doctors trained to help) it’s clear that women need more hormone health support.
If you’re like the women I work with every day, you’ve probably felt some of these hormonal imbalance symptoms too, without realizing why they were happening:
Fatigue: Bone-deep exhaustion, waking up tired, hitting a wall mid-day, or just feeling "tired" no matter how much rest you get.
Brain Fog: Losing focus, forgetting simple things like your keys or name, and drifting off during work.
Hot Flashes: That burning-from-the-inside sensation, night sweats, and temperature swings that disrupt your sleep.
Digestive Discomfort: Bloating, constipation, and digestive issues that make you feel uncomfortable in your own body.
Moodiness & Anxiety: Rollercoaster mood swings, anxiety spikes, and feeling out of sorts emotionally.
Random Symptoms: From itchy ears to frozen shoulder, these unexpected issues can also be linked to hormones.
Listening to Your Body Matters
Not sure where to start? Try to listen to what your body is telling you. It’s easy to brush symptoms under the rug, but it won’t make you feel any better in the long run. Listening to what your body is telling you—both physically and mentally—is the first step in finding a path forward. Whether you’re journaling daily or simply taking a moment to breathe and reflect, tuning into your body allows you to make better choices for your health. Hormonal harmony doesn’t happen overnight, but awareness is a powerful first step.
