Hormonal Imbalance

What Is Hormonal Imbalance?

Hormonal imbalance occurs when the body produces too much or too little of key hormones, disrupting the natural balance necessary for optimal functioning. Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate processes such as metabolism, reproductive health, mood, sleep, and stress response. Even slight shifts in hormone levels can have significant effects on physical and mental health.

Common causes of hormonal imbalance include aging, stress, poor nutrition, medical conditions, and lifestyle factors. Women often experience imbalances related to estrogen and progesterone during perimenopause and menopause, while men may notice declines in testosterone levels. Thyroid, insulin, and adrenal hormone irregularities can also contribute to symptoms in both men and women.

Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance

Hormonal imbalances can manifest in a variety of ways. Recognizing these signs early can help you take action and restore balance:

• Persistent fatigue and low energy
• Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
• Mood swings, irritability, anxiety, or depression
• Irregular menstrual cycles or fertility challenges
• Low libido or sexual dysfunction
• Hair thinning or skin changes
