Restore your body’s hormonal balance
Hormones are chemical messengers produced by the endocrine glands, including the thyroid, adrenal glands, and ovaries/testes. They regulate essential body functions like metabolism, growth, mood, and reproductive processes. Hormones travel through the bloodstream to target organs, where they trigger specific responses. Proper hormonal balance is crucial for overall health, as imbalances can lead to various unwanted symptoms.
How hormone imbalances affect men & women
Hormone imbalances can significantly impact both men and women, leading to a range of physical and emotional symptoms. In women, imbalances may cause irregular periods, hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain, and reduced libido, often associated with menopause or thyroid issues. Men may experience fatigue, muscle loss, low libido, erectile dysfunction, and mood changes, often related to andropause or low testosterone.
Symptoms of hormone imbalance:
- Fatigue and low energy levels
- Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
