Signs Your Hormones Are Out of Balance
Hormonal imbalances are more common than you think, with hormone imbalance symptoms affecting individuals of all ages and genders. Hormones play a vital role in numerous bodily functions, including metabolism, energy levels, mood regulation, and sexual health. Even minor fluctuations can impact your quality of life. At MidSouth Integrative Aesthetics, we can help diagnose and treat hormonal imbalances through advanced, customized therapies.
What Are Hormones and Why Are They So Important For Health?
Our bodies use hormones as chemical messengers to control key functions, such as mood, sleep, energy, sexual health, metabolism, and more. Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, insulin, and others can impact your entire system when out of balance.
Hormone Imbalance Symptoms
Imbalances in hormones can appear in many different ways, from subtle to severe, and their symptoms often overlap with other health problems. That’s why it’s crucial to work with a functional healthcare provider who knows how to handle the complexities of hormonal health. Here’s a look at some common symptoms by category:

These pellets provide a steady, long-term release of hormones that closely mimic the body’s natural production. It’s a popular choice among both women and men seeking a discreet, consistent, and effective approach to hormonal regulation, alleviating hot flashes, low libido, mood swings, and other menopause or andropause symptoms.
