Hormone imbalance

What is hormone imbalance?

A hormone imbalance occurs when there are too much or too little of a certain hormone in the body. Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate many essential functions in the body like growth, metabolism, reproduction, sleep, mood and more.

Some common signs and symptoms of a hormone imbalance include:

• Changes in weight or appetite


• Fatigue, low energy or insomnia


• Acne or skin issues


• Mood swings, anxiety, irritability or depression


• Hot flashes or night sweats


• Hair loss


• Irregular periods or fertility issues

There are various causes of hormonal imbalances such as:

• Stress - Elevated cortisol from chronic stress can disrupt other hormones


• Poor diet - Not getting proper nutrition can impact hormone levels


• Thyroid disorders - An underactive or overactive thyroid affects hormonal regulation


• Menopause and perimenopause - Declining estrogen and progesterone causes significant hormonal changes


• PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) - characterized by excess androgens like testosterone


• Prescription medications - Birth control pills, steroids etc. can influence hormonal balance


• Environmental toxins and endocrine disruptors - These interfere with natural hormone signals


• Chronic diseases - Diabetes, cancer, autoimmune disorders are associated with hormonal issues


• Natural aging process - Hormone levels decline as we get older
