Question
Hi, I'm a 30 year old black American woman. I weigh 134 and about 5'6. I'm very active and I have been a vegetarian almost a year now. I workout 4-5 times a week. I'm very tired throughout the day. About 5 years ago my hair started to thin out around the edges and top. I stop relaxing it so now I have been chemical free for 4-5 years. I get a lot of pimples in my face as if I'm still 16 years old. I thought about taking horsetail or a progesterone cream. Can you help me?

Answer
Since I am not a qualified health professional I would not be able to advise you but would suggest that you visit either an herbalist or naturopath in person. From my experience I do know that flax seed oil helps to balance hormones and can help with any symptoms related to an imbalance. You may want to have your thyroid checked also - Hypothyroidism: The Unsuspected Illness is a helpful book. They may want to check your B12 levels also.
