Hormone imbalance - Vitality Hormone Clinic

What is hormone imbalance?

Hormone imbalance is when your body's hormone levels are too high or too low. Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and thyroid hormone regulate many processes in the body. When they are out of balance, you may experience symptoms like:

• Fatigue
• Depression
• Acne
• Weight gain or loss
• Hot flashes
• Mood swings
• Irregular periods

Some common causes of hormone imbalance include:

• Stress - High cortisol levels can throw other hormones out of whack
• Poor diet - Not getting enough healthy fats and nutrients can disrupt hormones
• Lack of exercise - Being inactive causes hormone changes
• Thyroid disorders - The thyroid gland regulates metabolism
• Perimenopause and menopause - Declining estrogen and progesterone levels
• Birth control side effects - Can cause temporary hormone fluctuations

Fortunately, there are many ways to balance your hormones naturally:

• Reduce stress through yoga, meditation, or breathing exercises
• Follow a nutrient-rich diet with healthy fats, protein, and vegetables
• Get regular exercise to improve insulin sensitivity
• Improve gut health through probiotics and fermented foods
• Consider herbal supplements like Maca root or Ashwagandha
• Visit a functional medicine doctor for testing and natural treatments
