Hormonal Health Insights
Young women are experiencing earlier onset of menstrual issues, often accompanied by severe symptoms like cystic acne and weight gain. Many of these problems may stem from metabolic health and lifestyle choices rather than being solely hormonal.

I am 21 years old and experiencing a lot of hormone issues. I haven't been on any birth control for 12 months. The symptoms I am experiencing are weight gain, especially around my stomach and thighs, cellulite, 19-22 day cycles with very low bleeding on my period (lasting only 2-4 days), no sex drive at all, bloating and constipation, and increased temperature. I work out fasted (with only perfect aminos) 4-5 mornings a week and consistently walk, but I cannot avoid the weight gain. I am usually a quite small person averaging 110 pounds, so this is really emotional for me. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
