Hormone Balancing
Your brain communicates primarily through your spinal cord and nerves. Hormones are the second way your body communicates with the body. Hormones are chemicals that are produced by glands in the endocrine system. They travel through your bloodstream to the tissues and organs, delivering messages that tell the organs what to do and when to do it. Hormones play a crucial role in regulating our development, mood, reproductive health, and metabolism. Chronic stress, toxins, certain lifestyle habits and environmental factors all contribute to throwing hormones off balance.
Women in particular are more likely to experience hormone imbalance when their hormones are shifting such as during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause. If you are entering any of these phases of your life and want to be proactive in supporting your hormones, contact Dr. K for more information.
