What is Hormonal Imbalance?

Hormonal imbalance occurs when there is too much or too little of certain hormones in the body. Hormones are chemical messengers that control metabolism, mood, reproduction, and many other essential functions.

Even small changes in hormone levels can have significant effects throughout the body. Hormonal imbalances can affect women at any age, from puberty through menopause and beyond.

Important: Hormonal imbalance is not a single disease but a broad condition affecting multiple body systems. It can be caused by various factors and may require different treatments depending on the underlying cause.

Mood & Sleep

Serotonin, cortisol, and melatonin affect mood, stress response, and sleep patterns

Growth & Development

Growth hormone and insulin regulate cell growth, tissue repair, and blood sugar levels

Thyroid Disorders

Hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism affects metabolism, energy, weight, and menstrual cycles.
