Mastering the hormone landscape can maximize physical strength and mental clarity, while bolstering mood. Medical advances have demystified hormones and empowered health care practitioners to support deficient or imbalanced hormones.
What are hormones?
Hormones are chemical messengers, produced and deployed by various organs to affect a specific body part or tissue. Numerous glands and organs produce hormones, including reproductive organs, parts of the brain, the thyroid, pancreas, adrenals, and many others.
Hormones have specific shapes that bind to corresponding receptors on their target organ or tissue, triggering changes. Hormone-driven changes affect:
Metabolism - how efficiently the body creates usable energy from nutrients in food.
Growth - additions to bone length and muscle mass.
Reproduction - the ability to conceive and the desire to engage in intercourse.
Hidden Cause
Because hormones impact so many bodily functions, people may “chase symptoms” for years. Here are some clues that deficient or imbalanced hormones may be driving symptoms:
1. Lack of strength, resilience, energy, or stamina.
2. Irregularities in mood such as irritability, depression, anger, anxiety, or swinging quickly from one mood to another.
3. Inability to start or complete the sex act, including lack of desire.
Testing & Treatment
Carried by blood and diffused into saliva, hormones are easy to measure and monitor with blood or saliva tests. Advanced medicine provides multiple ways to supplement low hormones through simple patches, creams, or injections.
