Hormonal imbalances are a problem most people start to suffer from age, but there are many other reasons someone can have unbalanced hormones.
Some symptoms of hormonal imbalances are infertility, sudden weight gain or loss, depression and anxiety, which can result from changes in appetite or digestive issues, fatigue, insomnia, low libido, and hair loss or thinning. Obviously, these can change drastically from person to person, depending on disorders or illnesses an individual might have. Problems with high estrogen can also cause problems such as endometriosis, a condition that causes pelvic pain, usually associated with menstruation.
The main causes of hormonal imbalances range from food allergies and stomach issues or being overweight or obese. These problems may be caused by high levels of inflammation due to a poor diet or sedentary lifestyle, but may also be caused by genetic susceptibility, or toxicity from pesticides, viruses, cigarettes, alcohol or other harmful chemicals, but also a high amount of stress, lack of sleep and rest.

Three months ago I constantly had to go to the bathroom. I thought it was because I gave up soft drinks and was only drinking water. One day I had a stomachache. I was in bed for 4 days. The doctor’s appointment was for a Wednesday. I got sick and went to emergency room on a Monday. I was told my blood sugar level was 810 and I have diabetes. Since then, I eat better, take better care of myself and went from 260 to 220 lbs.and was thirsty all the time. One day I got extremely sick, could not keep anything down, had blurry vision, a rapid heartbeat, and began hyperventilating. taking metformin 1000 mg twice daily. I am writing this to inform others that nothing was really working to help my condition.I went off the metformin (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started on Diabetes herbal formula i ordered from Health Herbal Clinic, my symptoms totally declined over a 5 weeks use of the Diabetes natural herbal formula. i am now doing very well, Visit there website w
