How Do You Know If You Have Hormone Imbalance?

For our bodies to operate they require a certain level of hormone production. Created by the endocrine glands, hormones are special chemical messengers in the body that control most major bodily functions, from simple basic needs like hunger to more complex systems like reproduction, and even emotions and moods.

As we age, our hormone production changes. In many people this leads to hormone imbalances. These imbalances create a variety of symptoms in women and men.

At Affirm Health Center, we offer hormone replacement therapy utilizing bioidentical hormones. Each treatment is customized to the patient.

In this blog, we address some of the signs and symptoms that could be signaling you have a hormone imbalance.
