you loving yours hormonally as much as we do makes our hearts happy ✨✨ Signs that you’re experiencing imbalances in your hormone levels vary hugely and many of us have probably written at least a handful of them off as PMS symptoms that we just have to accept as par for the course (spoiler: you don’t have to ‘just accept’ anything that’s disruptive to your life or wellbeing). Some of the noteworthy symptoms include: bloating, fatigue, irritability or mood swings, hair loss, irregular periods, weight gain, and acne. A hormone imbalance means you have too much or too little of one or more hormone which, in turn, can have an effect on anything from your skin (hello, hormonal acne) to your appetite to your mood. There are some 50-odd hormones coursing through our bodies, but the three main reproductive hormones that influence and regulate our menstrual cycles are oestrogen, testosterone, and progesterone. These fluctuate massively throughout our cycle and are largely responsible for why we, for example, may feel great on day 14 and crabby on day 23. Regulating these hormones can make the not-so-fun symptoms less aggressive and the mood swings less severe.
