Your Hormone Quiz Results

How to use this page

On the form, you should've made note of how many items you checked in each section. In sections where you checked at least 3 symptoms, there is likely a hormone imbalance. In sections where you checked 5 or more, deep support is needed. 

It's likely at least one of the sections had more than 3 checkmarks - and that's okay. See this as a powerful healing moment and a window into your body. Knowing what may be going on is the first step to taking action. 

Section 1) High Cortisol

This is the MOST common hormone imbalance for women. Cortisol is known as the stress hormone and while some stress is inevitable (and some stress can be good in life saving moments!), too much can cause lots of imbalances. 

Stress accelerates aging and is directly tied to many chronic diseases. The good news is that now we can start to support this system and help you reduce chronic high cortisol levels. 

Section 2) Low Cortisol

While it may seem less common, low cortisol can happen for women especially after years of prolonged HIGH cortisol. Low Cortisol may be linked to under active adrenal function, trauma or a thyroid concern. It may also be tied to deep deficiencies in the body. Low Cortisol is definitely a sign that the body is depleted.

Section 3) Low Progesterone or Progesterone Resistance

This is the second most common hormone imbalance, especially for women over 35. Progesterone levels are directly correlated with PMS symptoms. Low progesterone levels used to be coined luteal phase defect (LPD) as this is when progesterone naturally surges in a balanced system. Stress, a lack of ovulation (hi birth control) and low thyroid may contribute to low progesterone.

Section 4) Excess Estrogen

High estrogen is simply common in our world. Chemical exposures can increase estrogen in our body and may overwhelm natural systems that should be metabolizing it. Some women may have high estrogen and normal progesterone or others may present with high estrogen and low progesterone (known as estrogen dominance). Stress is a large component to excess estrogen, and it's essential to consider the health of the gut if presenting with excess estrogen.

Section 5) Low Estrogen

This is more common for women in their 40s or 50s. Low estrogen is linked to vaginal dryness, an unsatisfied mood and a loss of zest for life. Intense exercise, pregnancy / birth, aging and gluten intolerances are certainly key factors in low estrogen.

Section 6) Excess Androgens

This is the most common hormonal reason for infertility. Excess androgens also meet many of the characteristic signs of PCOS with facial hair, acne and weight fluctuations. 

Section 7) Low Thyroid

Unfortunately, this is a common and very overlooked hormone imbalance. Women are more likely to have a thyroid imbalance and there are many ties to deficiencies, gluten intolerances, chemical exposures and mineral deficiencies.
