    GlossaryHormonal Imbalance

    disruption in hormone levels affecting bodily functions and health

    Hormonal imbalance, also known as endocrine imbalance, occurs when there is too much or too little of a hormone in the bloodstream. Hormones are critical for regulating various bodily functions, including metabolism, growth, and mood, so an imbalance can lead to a range of symptoms such as weight gain, fatigue, mood swings, and hair loss.
