How Your Hormones Can Affect Your Well-Being

Hormones are responsible for a huge variety of bodily functions. Therefore, it’s not surprising that you can feel terrible if your hormones are out of balance. Did you know that hormones can affect a myriad of things including sleep, sexual desire, weight loss, aging, fatigue, as well as your overall well-being? Unfortunately, most people don’t even realize that their hormones are causing these problems, because the signs are not always clear. 

Determining the Problem

While you may be experiencing a variety of symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances, it can be hard to pinpoint which hormones are at fault. After all, your body produces a lot of different hormones, and each of them works together with the others. The easiest thing to do is to get a simple blood test done to check up on your overall hormone levels. But there are certainly a few signs that may give you an indication ahead of time that your hormones are messing with your health.

• Are you experiencing mood swings?
• Do you energy levels soar and drop?
• Do you crave sugar or salt?
• Are you gaining weight, especially around your midsection?
• Do you have trouble sleeping?
• Do you feel depressed?
• Do you have a low sex drive?
• If you are a woman, do you experience painful or heavy periods?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, you may want to get a hormone level checkup soon.
