Happy Hormones! At the moment, you don’t seem to be dealing with severe symptoms of imbalance. Still: even mild symptoms can become troublesome over time without proper attention, so stay in tune with your body and get to know the signs of hormone imbalance...
Now that you’re familiar with some of the most common imbalances, we want to provide a bit more insight...We are happy to see that your hormones seem to be in a great place! You likely have positive rituals and routines to support your energy levels, sleep and overall health and vitality. Evaluating your current habits is a great way to determine what's working and what's not and to make adjustments based on what you need in the moment. Remember, our hormones ebb & flow so what worked for you last year (or last month!) may not work for you now which is why it's always important to adjust when needed!Regardless of how you feel today, knowing the signs & symptoms of hormone imbalance and how to nourish your body will help prevent more severe imbalances from developing down the line and improve your quality of life long into the future! The first step is to get in tune with your body...1. Start tracking and observing your symptoms throughout the week and month. If you have a menstrual cycle, get familiar with the 4 phases and start to recognize how your symptoms ebb & flow based on which phase you are in. Pro Tip: if interested in learning more about the 4 phases, we recommend the book "In the Flo" by Alisa Vitti. Listen to our Solo 2.0 Podcast episode with Le'Nise Brothers on how to eat, live & move in alignment with your menstrual cycle. 2.

Even if you aren't experiencing many symptoms of imbalance, hormones fluctuate over time and it can be very empowering to see where you are now. Through bio-available saliva testing we are able to capture the fraction of hormones that are active and impacting how you feel at the cellular level. This makes it a much more effective way to draw connections between the symptoms you’re experiencing and your current hormone levels.

"Blame it on your hormones, get them balanced...and get your life back!" -Candace Burch Why Trust Us to Support You and Your Hormones? Here's our story...Your Hormone Balance was founded by mother daughter team, Candace and Ryan Burch to help women advocate for their hormonal health and get to the root of hidden imbalances behind their symptoms! Candace is a hormone health educator with over 30 years experience in the field and her daughter, Ryan runs the business. Her eldest daughter, Jess Suchan is our in-house Holistic Health Coach and founder of @bodyblissbyjess! After Ryan and Jess experienced the profound impact of natural hormone (re)balancing in their own lives, they became STRONG believers in the work their mom was doing, and began spreading word! After numerous positive testimonials, Candace and Ryan joined forces to launch 'Your Hormone Balance' in 2017, (while Candace continued full time work at ZRT labs and Ryan worked in business development). Jess had recently graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and was in the process of launching her own health coaching business. With our combined skills, education and passion, it was a no-brainer for us to turn YHB into a fully fledged family business, combining forces to spread word about hormone testing and all-natural rebalancing. Since then Candace has spoken on dozens of top rated podcasts, live events and webinars and as a result, we have been able to reach hundreds of thousands of people globally and are incredibly passionate about helping women become their own health advocates!
