What is hormone health?
Hormones are chemical messengers that control many of your body’s functions. They send signals into your body’s tissues and bloodstream that affect many basic processes, including metabolism, temperature regulation, digestion, and even respiration.
When you have a hormone imbalance, your body can respond negatively. Certain bodily functions can slow or accelerate more than they should. This imbalance may lead to uncomfortable symptoms, such as fatigue, brain fog, depression, insomnia, and sexual dysfunction.
