04 Feb Not Sure Which Hormones Are Out of Balance?

Our hormones are extremely important components in our body and are responsible for chemically sending messages throughout our system. Our hormones are produced in our endocrine glands and travel around the body to help control your body’s different processes including your metabolism and your reproductive processes. 

When your hormones are in balance, they can help your body function like it is supposed to. However, when your hormones are imbalanced it can cause a number of issues.

So, What is a Hormonal Imbalance?

When your hormones are imbalanced, you typically have too much or too little of a specific hormone in your body. Even the smallest of changes can have a serious impact on your entire body. Your hormones play an important role in your body and your health, which is why the slightest imbalance can cause some significant health issues.

What are the Symptoms of a Hormonal Imbalance?

Sometimes, it can take a while to realize that you have a hormonal imbalance. For many people, this is because they are unaware of just how much of an impact that their hormones have on their body. It is important to understand the symptoms of hormonal imbalances so that you can get to your doctor to have a hormone test and determine the best course of action to regain normal hormone levels.
