We've all been told, quite blatantly sometimes, that our hormones are to blame.
What are they 'to blame' for? Literally everything, apparently.
I've been told this by my doctors: The reason this is happening is because...well, you have hormones. Here, take the pill.
I've been told this by partners: Is it your time of the month?
I've chatted with friends saying: Omg my hormones are so messed up!
Cells throughout the body have hormone receptors. A receptor is like a parking space for VIP only. Each specific hormone has its own private parking space.
So every cell has a hormone parking space, and when the hormone parks, someone gets out of the car and delivers a message to someone waiting inside the building. (You can't actually park inside the cell, doors are way too small to drive cars through. So instead a message gets passed from the outside of the cell to the inside).
When our hormones are funky, or we take pharmaceutical hormones for years (ahem the pill), it messes around with all the cells of our body!
Here are the top 5 signs that your hormonal health could use some attention:
-
Difficult periods
-
Mood swings
-
Stressed out
-
Weight Gain
-
Low Energy
