About Hormone Evaluation
Hormones are are specialized chemical messengers that serve as vital signaling molecules within the human body. There are over 50 identified hormones. The complex hormonal signaling network is important for regulating and coordinating a wide range of physiological processes, including growth, metabolism, immune function, mood, sleep, sexual function, and reproduction. Endocrine dysfunction, often referred to as hormonal imbalance, can lead to a variety of health issues.
Our modern society exposes us to a myriad of endocrine disrupting substances and molecules, which greatly impacts our hormonal balance. From 1990-2019, there was a 108.6% increase in EMBI related deaths amongst the world population. A 50% decrease in global sperm count, and a year earlier difference in which girls experience puberty, indicates the impact endocrine disrupting environmental factors, and modern lifestyles, have had on the population.
