This is a quick hormonal imbalance quiz that you can do RIGHT NOW. It’s connected to my hormone handout that I created for a giveaway I did with Moon Cycle Bakery. They supports “that time of the month” with hormone supportive baked good. I know, it’s dreamy.
This post is inspired by Dr. Brighten’s book Beyond The Pill. The assessment is a mixture of her book, my Bauman curriculum and experience from my practice with clients.

If you want a full breakdown and plan regarding the “umm what am I supposed to do now?” question. This book is where you can get a full break down. It’s not my book, it’s a friend of mines (Dr. Brighten) and it’s a gold mine.
See how different we all are! This is why it’s so important you TEST and NOT GUESS. Our bodies and hormones are extremely fragile when they’re constantly bombarded with environmental toxins and hormone disruptors. That’s why it’s important that we do things like this hormonal imbalance quiz.
I highly recommend you grab a copy of my Wild Women’s Hormone Ebook (like, right now). I guarantee that it will change your life and health. The results women are getting are simply unbeatable , it’s a gem. And there’s nothing better than seeing my clients lives changed from simple lifestyle changes.
