Hormones are beyond a doubt the most powerful chemicals in your body. They have the possibility to be physically and emotionally shattering or they can make you feel wonderfully alive.
Why are hormonal imbalances more common these day?
The incidence of hormonal disorders in women has increased over the last 20 years mainly because of sociological, environmental and dietary factors.
We are seeing a higher incidence of hormonal imbalances such as:
- Precocious puberty
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome
- Unexplained infertility
- Endometriosis
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Premenstrual syndrome
- Syndrome X - the chemical imbalance of insulin resistance which leads to excess weight gain.
