Hormone imbalance

There are many ways in which your hormones can be out of balance. But what exactly is that? Well, it’s not quite as simple as “rushing to the doctor” with a headache and nausea. Hormonal imbalance is more like a spectrum of symptoms that affect both women and men. And while the exact causes of hormonal imbalance vary from person to person, there are several common issues at play: weight gain, depression and mood swings, anxiety attacks and other stress-related ailments (including autoimmune diseases).

What Is Hormonal Imbalance?

Hormones are chemical messengers that tell your body how to function. They regulate your metabolism, growth and development, as well as the way you store fat or burn it off. If there is an imbalance in these systems, this can lead to symptoms such as weight gain or loss despite eating the same amount of food each day.
