hormone health
Hormones are chemical messengers produced by the endocrine glands—such as the thyroid, adrenals, ovaries, and pancreas—that regulate nearly every function in the body. When these hormones are out of balance, it can affect many aspects of health, resulting in issues like fatigue, weight gain, anxiety, depression, brain fog, sleep disturbances, irregular periods, and even infertility. Conditions such as estrogen dominance, low progesterone, adrenal dysfunction, and insulin resistance are common contributors to hormonal imbalances. Hormonal imbalances are often a symptom of deeper dysfunctions, such as chronic stress, poor gut health, inflammation, toxic overload, or nutritional deficiencies. Hormone health is a key focus in functional medicine, where the goal is to achieve optimal levels of hormones, rather than just ensuring they fall within a conventional “normal” range. Hormonal balance impacts almost every aspect of health, including energy, mood, metabolism, sleep, and reproductive health. Functional medicine evaluates a wide array of hormones, often focusing on their balance and interconnection. Prioritizing optimal hormone levels rather than simply “within range” levels to ensure that the body’s hormonal systems are functioning in a way that supports vibrant health, vitality, and disease prevention. Hormones are molecules that are produced by the endocrine organs. They act as chemical messengers throughout the body and make contact with virtually every cell.
