How Hormonal Imbalances Impact Your Health

Hormones are the silent and invisible substances that control your body, health, and wellness. Though we are all familiar with terms like testosterone and estrogen, most men and women suffering from chronic symptoms and troublesome issues don’t realize that hormones are the real culprits.

Learn more about hormonal imbalances to identify if they are impacting your health as well.

Why Are Hormones to Blame?

Hormones act as messengers that interact with the rest of your body to maintain systemic health. This means any imbalance in your hormone levels can have a significant impact on your health. This is especially true as you age because hormone levels naturally decrease when you get older.

Chronic Fatigue

One of the hormones that falls out of balance with age is progesterone. This hormone is supposed to be released by the ovaries to support your sleep cycle. If you have trouble falling and staying asleep, progesterone could be the issue. Fatigue can also develop as a result of low thyroid hormones.

Weight Gain

Weight gain is a notorious side effect of hormone imbalance. Fluctuating estrogen levels may trigger mood changes that have you reaching for comfort foods. Irregular hormones are also known to stimulate fat storage. It also doesn’t help that your ongoing fatigue makes exercise a challenge!

Irritability

Of course, hormone imbalances also lead to emotional volatility and irritability. It’s not just PMS that leads to anger, depression, and anxiety. Any hormone imbalance influences the brain and creates the potential for mood disturbances.

Sexual Dysfunction

Low levels of estrogen and/or testosterone directly influence your libido and sexual desire. From vaginal dryness to erectile dysfunction, hormone imbalances can significantly interrupt your sex life.
