Your Hormone
Imbalance Checklist

If these symptoms have been present for more than three months, it could be a signal that you are suffering from an underlying hormone imbalance.

Hormones are potent chemical messengers that circulate throughout your body, serving as messengers to organise how your body functions.

Hormones are produced by endocrine organs such as the ovaries, testes, pituitary, thyroid and adrenal glands, which are governed by higher centers found within the brain.

As hormones travel through your blood stream they provide a communication network linking your central control center to the trillion of cells found within your body. Adequate levels and an appropriate balance of hormones is necessary for maintaining optimal health and well being.

The endocrine glands produce different quantities of hormones depending on your individual needs and your stage of life. Ageing is associated with a decline in the production of most hormones.

The sex hormones and thyroid hormones have a major influence on reproductive potential, cognitive function, metabolism and overall well-being.

Estrogen is actually a group of hormones responsible for female sexual development. They are produced primarily by the ovaries and in small amounts by the adrenal glands. Androgens are responsible for male sex characteristics. In men, testosterone is the major hormone produced by the testicles.
