5 Signs Your May Have a Hormone Imbalance

Humans produce more than 50 hormones that regulate numerous bodily functions, including metabolism, mood, and sexual wellness. An imbalance in your hormones disrupts the delicate equilibrium within your body, leading to a wide range of symptoms and health issues.

Men and women who are suffering the effects of hormone imbalance don’t know what is wrong. Weight loss is harder, they’re more fatigued, and brain fog creeps in. They just don’t feel like themselves.

Bioidentical hormone therapy is an effective solution for restoring hormonal balance. At Evolve MD Wellness & Aesthetics Med Spa, the experienced providers evaluate your hormones to determine if you’d benefit. 

Here are five common signs that may indicate you have a hormone imbalance and should visit our office in Cypress, Houston, Texas. 

Sign #1: Persistent fatigue and low energy

Feeling constantly fatigued, even after a good night's sleep, can be a sign of a hormone imbalance. Hormones such as cortisol, thyroid hormones, and sex hormones play crucial roles in regulating energy levels. 

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help address these imbalances by replenishing depleted hormone levels, thereby restoring energy and vitality.

Sign #2: Mood swings and emotional instability

If you find yourself experiencing unexplained mood swings, irritability, anxiety, or even depression, it could be indicative of a hormone imbalance. Fluctuating levels of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can significantly impact your emotional well-being. 

Mood swings are not just a female problem; men who are low on testosterone also find their mood irregular. Bioidentical hormone therapy can help stabilize these hormone levels, providing relief from emotional instability and promoting a more balanced mood.

Sign #3: Disturbed sleep patterns

Sleep disturbances, such as insomnia, difficulty falling asleep, or waking up frequently during the night, can be associated with hormonal imbalances. Hormones like melatonin, cortisol, and progesterone are responsible for regulating our sleep-wake cycle. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help rebalance these hormones, promoting better sleep quality and overall restorative rest.

Sign #4: Weight gain and difficulty losing weight

If you've been struggling with weight gain or finding it challenging to shed those extra pounds despite your efforts, hormonal imbalances might be a contributing factor. 

Estrogen, testosterone, insulin, and thyroid hormones influence metabolism and fat storage. Imbalances in these hormones can lead to weight gain, especially in the abdominal area. You may also find it difficult to put on muscle mass, even if you work hard at the gym. Bioidentical hormones can help optimize hormone levels, making it easier to achieve a healthy weight and maintain it.

Sign #5: Menopausal symptoms and hormonal changes

Women approaching menopause are particularly affected by hormone fluctuations. This perimenopause period typically lasts three to four years, but can persist for up to 10 years. 

For women approaching or going through menopause, hormonal changes can cause a range of bothersome symptoms. Hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood swings are just a few examples. Bioidentical hormone therapy offers a promising solution by supplementing the declining hormone levels with biologically identical hormones. This approach can help alleviate menopausal symptoms, allowing women to navigate this stage of life with greater comfort.
