Many people have heard the phrase ‘hormonal imbalance’—from teenagers battling acne, to women experiencing irregular periods, to adults struggling with unexplained weight gain or mood swings. While the term is commonly used, few truly understand what it means, what causes it, or how significantly it can affect one’s overall health.

Hormonal imbalances don’t only affect women during their reproductive years—they can impact anyone, at any stage of life.
