Hormones contribute to our mental and physical health, so it is important that we have them in balance.
Signs of hormonal imbalance:
- Fatigue
- Depression
- Mood swings
- Difficulty sleeping

Imbalances can occur through birth control, menopause and different phases of the menstrual cycle. But age, sleep, diet, exercise and other lifestyle habits also affect the hormones.
