Hormone Imbalance

What Is Hormone Imbalance?

Hormone imbalance occurs when the body produces too much or too little of specific hormones, disrupting normal bodily functions. Hormones regulate many processes, including metabolism, mood, energy levels, and sexual health. When hormones are out of balance, it can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, and low libido. Hormone imbalances can affect both men and women, particularly as they age or undergo significant life changes such as menopause or andropause. Managing hormone levels is essential to maintaining overall health and well-being.
