Did you know that hormones are at the root of every function, and therefore, dysfunction in the human body? Here are just 5 of the benefits for supporting hormonal balance!
Sexual Health
For men, hormones are key to overall sexual function, prostate health, semen production, sperm development and motility, and so on. For women, hormones are responsible for timely monthly cycles of peak fertility and desire for intimacy. At the end of the cycle, they are essential to healthy menstruation and all that can entail.
Energy and Stamina
Hormones, especially those tied to stress (adrenals), play roles in sexual health, inflammation and immune response, and overall mood balance. Supporting baseline hormonal balance, and sometimes additional adrenal support, may help us to meet the day enlivened, ready for anything and everything it might throw at us.
The nervous system and emotions are intrinsically linked to the hormonal system of the body. These systems are in constant communication to maintain daily function of the entire body. Balanced hormones does not mean that we do not “feel” our emotions, but it may help to support mental clarity, alertness, focus, and a more balanced response to the world around us.
Metabolism
This is not just about numbers on a scale! Hormones control how the body uses food for energy and eliminates waste. Hormones play varying roles of equal importance at every stage of the process. Overall hormone balance support, sometimes accompanied by additional thyroid, pancreas, and/or liver support may help to encourage healthy metabolic balance.
Believe it or not, the human body has a way of prioritizing systems, and if the insides are struggling, signs tend to manifest on the outside. Skin problems, brittle nails, and hair growth issues are often a sign that the internal systems are struggling. Supporting balanced hormones and addressing possible nutritional deficiencies can help to maintain or restore the internal systems and the results are often right there in the mirror!
