Balance your hormones with Empower Integrative Health
Whether you’ve been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder or suspect you should be, you’ve probably noticed they’re surrounded by mystery. To someone suffering with symptoms and seeking answers, this puzzling (and often frustrating) nature of autoimmune disorders is further intensified by a traditional medical system that tends to chase symptoms rather than identifying and solving the root cause. At Empower Integrative Health, we believe understanding these conditions and their effects on your unique body is the first step toward managing and improving your quality of life.
What role do hormones play in the body?
Hormones are chemical substances that act as the body’s “messenger” molecules. They’re continually in flux, traveling throughout the body and controlling how organs and cells do their work. An imbalance happens when you have too little or too much of one or more hormones. This is why they can have a profound effect on your mental, physical, and emotional health and contribute to conditions associated with:
Thyroid
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Menopause
Low testosterone
Other hormone imbalance issues
Scientists have identified the activity of more than 50 hormones in the human body so far, and balancing their fluctuations is a complex dance. Even the slightest imbalance can affect metabolism, growth, sexual function, reproduction, mood, and even sleep-wake cycles, and is often the culprit behind symptoms like:
Chronic fatigue
Weight gain
Low libido
The impact on daily lives
Hair loss
Issues with memory
Issues with focus
