Signs Your Hormones Might Be Unbalanced

Balance is the key to live a happy fulfilling life!

One of the biggest things we need to balance is our hormones because as we get older it gets harder.

It is critically essential to maintain a hormonal balance in the body.

Just like everything else, your body also requires a balanced hormonal state. Only then, your organs can function properly. If you want to enjoy sound health, maintaining a balance of hormones is essential. There are many ways through which you can naturally attain hormonal balance- your body will give you signs when you are out of balance.

Some common signs are-

Constant Fatigue and Exhaustion

The most prominent indication of an imbalance of hormones is that you feel low and tired all the time. When there is an abnormal release of cortisol along with other adrenal hormones in the body, you feel stressed. Besides, you may feel sad and extremely tired even when you do nothing.  Thus, if you often have a foggy head, low mood, and extreme depression, your body might have a hormonal imbalance.

Intense Cravings

Here is another common occurring symptom but it goes unidentified often because many people usually have cravings, especially for sugar and other sweet stuff.  The imbalanced hormonal state also boosts your cravings for different food items including drinks, chocolates, and other tempting edibles. Studies have shown that an increased level of insulin or high concentration of cortisol in the body can enhance your craving for sugar or wine. Besides, if there is an imbalance of electrolytes in the body, your body tends to crave for savoury snacks.

Weight Gain

In addition to your daily intake of food and exercises that you participate in, your hormones also have a significant role in determining your body weight because they impact the metabolic rate. If your hormones are out of balance, you will have difficulty in shedding extra body weight despite all your efforts and dieting.  Hence, there is no point of doing heavy exercise and severe dieting if your hormones are not balanced. Work with someone to acquire hormonal balance and then follow a healthy lifestyle for enjoying an improved quality life.

Reduced Sex Drive

In women the libido is controlled by the level of estrogen in the body. If your estrogen level is below or above the optimum level, it can impact your sex drive negatively.  Similarly, in the case of men, lack of testosterone can result in lack of sex drive.

Mood Swings

The mood swings in ladies are often associated with PMS. Majority of women experience mood swings before menses, but that is not the only cause. If you take proper care of yourself and enjoy a healthy lifestyle but still experience mood swings quite often, it indicates that your hormones are out of balance. Remember that unpredictable and severe mood swings also suggest that your hormonal levels need to be checked.

Hormones control numerous functions in our body. If one or more of these release in excess, they can impact the smooth functioning of multiple body systems.

Similarly, if there is an underproduction of any one or more hormones, your body will experience some unpleasant symptoms as well. Some of the major factors that indicate the imbalance state of hormones is mentioned above.

Aside from your nutrition and your lifestyle sometimes its beneficial to supplement.  There are a variety of supplements that are known to help but everyone is different so I would recommend speaking to someone who works with hormones- or reply to this blog or reach out to me and we can chat.
