What are Hormone Imbalances?
Hormones play a vital role in regulating various bodily functions, including metabolism, stress responses, digestion, and reproductive health. When these vital signs fall out of sync - due to stress, poor diet, or underlying health issues - it can lead to a range of symptoms, including fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, digestive issues, and more.
At The Functional Gut Health Clinic, we pay special attention to three key hormone groups: sex, adrenal, and thyroid hormones. Hormonal imbalances are particularly impactful on gut health, as they can disrupt digestion, cause bloating, and trigger symptoms of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
