Hormones

Hormones are the biochemicals which regulate our bodies. They are produced by the endocrine glands and work over time, gradually effecting many of the body’s processes. Hormones are basically small chemical messengers which travel through the body’s bloodstreams to various organs and tissues. Even though they are small, they are certainly powerful and can create substantial changes in the body.

Hormones can affect:

    • Development & Growth

 

    • Mood

 

    • Adrenaline

 

    • Puberty

 

    • The Menstrual Cycle

 

    • Reproduction

 

    • Sexual Functions

 

    • Metabolism

 

    • And More

 

A woman’s hormones are produced in her endocrine glands and ovaries. Minuscule changes in the amounts of certain hormones that the body produces can have very big effects. Aside from causing drastic effects, if the body is producing too much or too little of a certain hormone, it can create some serious health problems.

Most women experience a major shift in their bodies before and during menopause, when their bodies lose the ability to reproduce. Estrogen is the hormone which stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs, when a woman’s reproductive cycle has ended, the body’s estrogen and progesterone levels begin to drop. With the reduction of these hormones comes many unpleasant side-effects, such as night sweats, thinning hair, moodiness, urinary problems, sleep problems, hot flashes and more.
