Hormone imbalance - Harmony Hormone Care

What is hormone imbalance?

A hormone imbalance occurs when there is too much or too little of a hormone in your body. Hormones are powerful chemicals that control most of your body's major systems, so even small hormone imbalances can cause big problems.

Some common symptoms of a hormone imbalance include:

• Weight gain or weight loss
• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Fatigue
• Mood changes like depression, anxiety, or irritability
• Loss of sex drive
• Changes in sleep patterns
• Hair loss
• Acne or dry skin

Causes of hormone imbalances

There are several potential causes of hormone issues:

• Stress - Chronic stress can throw off hormones like cortisol and adrenaline
• Poor diet - Not eating enough healthy fats or nutrients can impact hormones
• Thyroid disorders - The thyroid helps control metabolism and when it's dysfunctional, it impacts hormones
• Menopause - Declining estrogen and progesterone causes menopausal symptoms
• PCOS - This common condition disrupts reproductive hormones in women
• Pituitary or adrenal gland disorders - These glands produce key hormones for the body

Seeking treatment

If you think you have a hormone imbalance, I recommend getting your hormones tested by a medical provider first. This will help pinpoint where the problem is coming from.

From there, treatments will depend on what type of imbalance you have but may include lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and stress relief techniques as well as hormone replacement therapies.
