Bioidentical Imbalance in Men & Women
Hormone balance is crucial for optimal health and well-being. Throughout your body, hormones work together in a careful balance to control many organs and biological processes. When the delicate, youthful balance between these hormones is disturbed, you begin to experience symptoms of hormone imbalance and your risk of many chronic diseases such as heart disease and osteoporosis increases.
Unfortunately, hormone imbalance is a natural consequence of aging in both men and women. In adults over age 35, hormone levels begin to decline—but they don’t decline evenly. Some decline more rapidly than others, resulting in unpleasant symptoms of hormone decline and imbalance.
Hormone decline is also influenced by other factors, some of which are in your control. Your stress level, activity level, diet, sexual activities, and even environment all affect your hormone levels. Additionally, many medical conditions affect hormone levels, especially surgical removal of hormone-producing organs such as ovaries, testes, or the pituitary gland.
Signs of Hormonal Imbalance
Individuals experiencing hormone imbalance may notice one or more of the following symptoms:
Decreased Energy Levels
Persistent fatigue, especially in the mid-morning or early afternoon, can indicate hormonal issues. If you find yourself feeling drowsy or mentally foggy during these times, it may be a sign that your health requires attention.
Unexplained Weight Gain
While diet and exercise are significant factors in weight management, hormone imbalances can lead to unexpected weight increases. For example, developing insulin resistance is a common contributor to this issue.
Difficulty Sleeping
Hormonal imbalances can hinder the ability to achieve deep, restorative sleep. In some cases, this can lead to insomnia. When sleep is disrupted, the body may produce cortisol, a stress-related hormone. As stress accumulates, sleep becomes even more elusive, impacting overall well-being.
Decreased Sex Drive
Hormone levels significantly influence sexual desire. Low testosterone, high stress, and feelings of chronic fatigue, anxiety, or depression can negatively affect sexual function.
Hot Flashes
Women often experience hormonal fluctuations during menopause, leading to hot flashes as their hormone levels shift.
Night Sweats
Excessive and unexplained sweating during sleep can indicate a hormone imbalance, particularly in women experiencing menopause. Like hot flashes, night sweats can be influenced by emotions, stress, and dietary factors.
Depression and Anxiety
Persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, or irritability may signal a hormone imbalance, especially if no other clear cause can be identified. Imbalances in certain hormones can lead to significant mood swings that are difficult to understand.
