What Causes Hormonal Imbalances?
Hormonal changes can result from a wide range of internal and external factors, including:
-
Chronic stress
-
Nutritional deficiencies
-
Gut or liver dysfunction
-
Aging and natural hormone decline
-
Underlying thyroid or adrenal issues
-
Environmental exposures (toxins, endocrine disruptors)
-
Poor sleep or overtraining
Identifying the root cause is key to addressing the imbalance—not just the symptoms.
Common Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance
Hormonal shifts often show up in subtle ways at first, but they can affect nearly every aspect of how you feel. Symptoms may include:
-
Fatigue or low energy
-
Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
-
Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
-
Irregular or painful menstrual cycles
-
Low libido or sexual dysfunction
-
Hair thinning or changes in skin texture
-
Trouble sleeping or poor recovery
Because these symptoms overlap with other conditions, they’re often dismissed or misdiagnosed without comprehensive testing.
