Hormone levels control a vast array of the body’s basic functions as well as the functions more commonly associated with hormone levels, such as menstruation, pregnancy, perimenopause and menopause.
It is natural for hormone levels to change throughout the month in accordance with the different stages of your menstrual cycle, which is why you will notice changes in your body at ovulation, and in the days leading up to your period.
When your hormones are out of balance, however, you will notice unusual or especially severe symptoms.
Some of the common symptoms of hormonal imbalance are:
Your body’s hormone levels can also be disrupted by internal and external factors, such as environmental toxins, diet, or lifestyle changes.
Can have a serious effect on hormone levels, because excess levels of cortisol (a stress hormone) in the body can alter levels of progesterone, and thus create oestrogen dominance. This can weaken muscle tissue, lower energy levels and libido, and put stress on the immune system, which increases the risks of autoimmune conditions and chronic illness.
Can also develop as a result of increased body fat. Hormone Replacement Therapy is frequently given to women suffering from severe menopause symptoms and is particularly effective in alleviating night sweats, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and loss of libido.
It can also help to prevent osteoporosis, the weakening of the bones which is more common following menopause due to hormone levels.
