What is a Hormone Imbalance?

You’ve probably heard of the term, “hormone imbalance” before – but what exactly does it mean?  What exactly causes a hormone imbalance – and what can you do to fix it?

Hormone imbalance refers to an imbalance in your body’s ability to naturally regulate its own hormones.  For example, a hormone imbalance could refer to a person who has low testosterone levels, or a women who has low estrogen levels.  Hormone imbalances can occur as a result of the aging process (one popular example includes when women go through menopause), or for genetic reasons.

Some of the most common hormones that could become imbalanced include:

• Estrogen
• Testosterone
