Hormone Package
Hormone Package How do hormonal imbalances affect us?
Hormones are glands that function like messengers that sends signals to all parts of the body, to help us response to stimuli and to enable our body to function well. Factors such as behavior, environment, diet, and lifestyle can affect changes in hormone levels, which act as a helper that sends signal to different parts of the body in order for our body to function optimally.
They have an impact on developmental, psychological, emotional, health repair, delaying aging and sickness, transport of origin substance production, digestive, and metabolic processes in the body.
If hormones are abnormal or imbalanced, they can affect many parts of the body. In the short term, the cause may not be clearly identifiable as it may not yet have developed into a disease. However, if left untreated for an extended period, the body may become weak or tired, and the efficiency may decrease. Therefore, hormone testing is essential for maintaining and restoring health balance as a primary measure to prevent disease.
Hormonal Imbalance Checklist
Hormonal imbalance can occur at any age and often results in abnormal symptoms such as:
- Mood swings
- Difficulty sleeping and waking up feeling unrefreshed
- Decreased energy and fatigue
- Irregular menstrual periods
- Increased weight gain and difficulty losing weight
- Decreased sexual performance
- Acne, changes in skin texture, and premature aging
- Osteoporosis and bone loss
- Depression and chronic stress
In addition to controlling the reproductive system, sex hormones have a direct impact on emotional control, energy levels, creativity, motivation, stress management, and sleep quality. This affects relationships, work performance, and daily activities. Hormone levels can be measured through testing to identify hormonal imbalances.
If hormonal imbalances persist for a long time, it can be a contributing factor to chronic fatigue, depression, and insomnia. Hormonal balance is therefore an important factor for both physical and
Mental Health.
The balance level of hormones in our body is necessary because each hormone relies on and affects each other. This causes our body to work in a coordinated system. Even a slight imbalance in just 1 or 2 hormones can lead to various abnormal conditions or symptoms related to hormones, such as decreased metabolism in the body, increased accumulation of body fat, difficulty sleeping, easily becoming angry, depression, dry and dull skin, decreased sex drive, etc. Therefore, it is important to check hormone levels and adjust them to a balanced state again.

Male and female hormones include both the ones that are the same and those that differ. Some hormones that are the same include insulin, thyroid hormones, growth hormones, or hormones from the pituitary gland. However, the hormones that differ are the sex hormones. Men have male sex hormones, known as testosterone, while women have female sex hormones, known as estrogen and progesterone.
How can you tell which hormone your body is lacking?
How can you tell which hormone your body is lacking?
Currently, hormone levels can be measured through blood tests to determine which hormones your body is lacking. This can include testing for androgen hormones, sex hormones, to see which hormones your body is producing less of or has stopped producing due to aging. You may notice changes in your body or consult a specialist doctor to measure hormone levels.
Who should check their hormones in their body?
Actually, it is not necessary to check hormone levels for everyone, but it is recommended for those who have health problems or abnormal conditions such as those aged 40 and over, mood swings, menstrual cramps, depression, insomnia, abdominal obesity, chronic acne, decreased sex drive, and waking up to use the bathroom at night without known cause. Checking and measuring hormone levels in the body can help plan targeted treatment by identifying which hormones have decreased, which can then be prepared to cope with and take care of oneself.
