Hormones interact with various body parts to ensure efficient functioning and are closely linked to mental health, emotions, healing, aging, illness, hormone production, digestion, and the body’s energy expenditure. Any imbalance or abnormality in hormones can affect multiple aspects of the body’s functioning. In the short term, it might not clearly indicate a specific cause as it may not lead to a disease. However, if left untreated over time or in older age, it can decrease overall performance of the body. Therefore, maintaining hormone balance is crucial for health and disease prevention.
Hormonal imbalances can occur at any age and often lead to various abnormalities, such as:
- Mood swings
- Insomnia and fatigue
- Reduced energy levels and weakness
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Decreased metabolism and easy weight gain
- Reduced libido
- Acne, skin changes, and dryness
- Bone thinning and fractures
- Depression and accumulated stress
- Unexplained and intermittent undesirable symptoms
Suitable for who?
Hormone testing is not necessary for everyone, but it is recommended for individuals with health issues or abnormal physical conditions, such as those who are approaching or over the age of 40, experiencing mood swings, menstrual pain, depression, insomnia, abdominal weight gain, chronic acne, reduced libido, or frequent nighttime bathroom visits without an apparent cause. Conducting hormone testing allows for targeted treatment planning to identify which hormones are decreasing, enabling better preparation to manage and take care of oneself effectively.
