We've all been told, quite blatantly sometimes, that our hormones are to blame.
Â
What are they 'to blame' for? Literally everything, apparently.
Â
I've been told this by my doctors: The reason this is happening is because...well, you have hormones. Here, take the pill.
Â
I've been told this by partners: Is it your time of the month?
Â
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.
Â
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).
Â
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!
Â
Here are the top 5 signs that your hormonal health could use some attention:
-
Difficult periods
-
Mood swings
-
Stressed out
-
Weight Gain
-
Low Energy
