Hormonal Health

Our bodies are extremely complex. There are many levels of regulation and when running correctly, we do not notice anything unusual. One of the regulatory mechanisms in our body is through our hormones. Hormones are messenger molecules in our body. They help control how our body functions. Both men and women have a surge of sex hormones as they reach puberty. Women’s hormones cycle which allows ovulation and pregnancy. This usually happens until they reach menopause at which time the majority of their sexually related hormones cease to function actively. Men’s hormones tend to gradually decline with age.
