Is the average temperature of the human body still 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit? This often quoted average was determined in the nineteenth century. A more recent study has reported an average temperature of 98.2, and experts believe the decrease in body heat is the result of an epidemic of mild or moderate hypothyroidism. Some believe we are evolving into a population with the propensity for low thyroid function because antibiotics have allowed people who would have died from pneumonia and other diseases associated with hypothyroidism to remain alive and reproduce. Others see rising hypothyroidism rates as the result of diet and environmental factors. Whatever the answer is, one thing is sure. More people than ever are suffering from the myriad of symptoms associated with low thyroid levels, especially women.

Newswise — Headaches are a widespread problem in the United States, affecting roughly 45 million people. Migraine headaches affect millions of Americans each year they are the most common type of headache that sends patients running to their doctor’s office. Migraines occur when constricting blood vessels in the brain cause intense, recurring vascular headaches. Like other forms of headaches, women suffer from migraines more frequently than men.
Approximately three out of four migraine sufferers are women. Researchers have often cited hormones as a possible explanation. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, more than half of migraines in women transpire right before, during or after a woman has her menstrual period. And although some women experience migraines throughout their cycle, menstrual-related migraines may explain one trigger of the condition.

Hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, progesterone and cortisol are our body’s messengers. They tell our organs and tissues what to do to maintain homeostasis or balance. When secreted appropriately in response to internal and external changes, they keep our bodies and minds on track, happy and healthy. When out of balance, they can cause physical and emotional havoc.
The good news is that these imbalances can be corrected once we know what they are. Hormone testing can pinpoint a problem.
It’s estimated that 40 million Americans suffer from chronic headaches. Headaches are one of the leading causes of missed work or school. So why is it that so many of us suffer from such annoying and often debilitating pains in the head? Honestly, there are several reasons.
Some of the most common triggers of migraines are stress, food allergies, caffeine withdrawal, medications, lack of sleep, extreme weather conditions, blood sugar fluctuations, and hormone imbalances.

Hormonal headaches are suffered by women and can take place during the menstrual cycle. Hormones are what induces the pain response so both men and hormones prompt women’s headaches. Headaches are sometimes our body using a warning system that something serious is going on. Hormones regulate and start many of the body’s functions, so it is not surprising that they are in some way connected to headaches.
