- What does hormone imbalance mean?
-
A hormone imbalance means that your body is making too much or too little of a hormone that is needed to optimize how your body works.
Hormone imbalance is an issue not just because you need certain hormones to make your body function properly, but because some hormones influence the production of other hormones. An imbalance can create a cascading effect, which only exacerbates the issues already present.
Your endocrine system controls the production of these hormones, using glands all over the body to produce and distribute the hormones. When hormones are balanced, you achieve a healthy system. When they’re not balanced, the sub-systems within your body work poorly or even against each other, causing issues for the entire system (you).
