For Elle ‘The Body’ Macpherson, balanced hormones are hugely important to well-being, and mark the biggest transformation for women. Elle says “Hormones make the biggest change. They can affect skin and hair texture, muscle tone, and the way you metabolise fat.” Elle gets regular check-ups with a hormone specialist, “It’s hugely important to find balance. For me, it’s been the biggest difference from being 20” said Elle.
Hormones affect us every day, but we see their impact the most during times of immense change such as puberty, pregnancy, and menopause.
If you doubt the very real power of hormones to affect everything from mood, to weight, to bowel health – ask the nearest pregnant woman if she’s noticed any difference in these areas since being pregnant. Or ask the nearest 13 year old girl carefully!
Regardless of age, a woman’s hormones all work together like a symphony; if one part of the orchestra is not functioning properly, then the melody you produce is out of tune. Signs of hormonal imbalance in women are a very real quality of life issue. All women need to be aware of the signs of hormone imbalance.
Hormones are our body’s chemical messengers, travelling in the bloodstream to speed growth, metabolisms, improve sexual function and reproduction, and can affect our moods. They are created in the endocrine glands: the pituitary, pineal, thymus, thyroid, adrenal glands and pancreas glands. Men also produce hormones in their testes, and women produce them in their ovaries.
Stressful lives and a longer life expectancy mean the glands that produce hormones are working longer and harder than ever, yet a sedentary lifestyle, worsening nutrition and lack of proper fitness has resulted in declining levels of hormones and hormonal imbalance in our bodies. Symptoms of hormonal imbalance include hot flashes and night sweats, low libido, mood swings, and fatigue.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, getting tested by a highly trained bioidentical hormone doctor in order to discover the current levels of your hormones, could be the solution you have been seeking.
Life can be lived without the tiring symptoms of hormone imbalance. Verve’s hormonal treatments work to integrate nutrition, fitness, and hormone therapy to restore your body’s balance and well-being.
