Men Hormons

Hormone balance is crucial for optimal health and well-being. Throughout your body, hormones such as DHEA, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and others work together in a careful balance to control many organs and biological processes. When the delicate, youthful balance between these hormones is disturbed, you begin to experience symptoms of hormone imbalance and your risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and osteoporosis increases.

Unfortunately, hormone imbalance is a natural consequence of aging. In adults over age 35, hormone levels begin to decline—but they don’t decline evenly. Some decline more rapidly than others, resulting in unpleasant symptoms of hormone decline and imbalance. This hormone decline is also influenced by factors such as stress, activity level, diet, sexual activities, and even environment. Additionally, many medical conditions affect hormone levels, especially surgical removal of hormone-producing organs such as ovaries, testes, or the pituitary gland.
