Dr. Gary Kracoff, manager of Health and Wellness at Johnson Compounding and Wellness, in Waltham, will present a free talk, The Female Hormonal Symphony, from 7 to 9 p.m. on May 16. Kracoff will discuss ways to identify where hormonal imbalances are, and natural, holistic therapies that can be effective in balancing the body and getting systems back in tune.

“I hope to help many women unravel why they do not feel well by understanding what is out of balance and what can be done,” says Kracoff.

Kracoff will address the relationship between the adrenal glands, thyroid and female hormones, and how stress, diet, lifestyle and poor sleep can affect hormonal balance. “Women who experience hot flashes, night sweats, sleep issues, irritability, decreased libido, and weight gain, especially around the waistline, need to determine which system is out of tune,” he says.
