✨ Hormones 101: The Key Hormones We’ll Be Talking About ✨
Hormones are chemical messengers that help your body function properly. Over the next several days, we’ll be breaking down some of the most important ones, including:
• Estrogen – supports heart health, bone density, brain function, and mood
• Progesterone – helps with sleep, mood balance, and hormonal stability
• Testosterone (women & men) – important for energy, muscle, libido, and metabolism
• Thyroid hormones (T3 & T4) – regulate metabolism, weight, and temperature
• Cortisol – the stress hormone that affects weight, sleep, and inflammation
• Insulin – controls blood sugar and energy storage
• DHEA – supports overall vitality, immune health, and aging
• Melatonin – regulates sleep and circadian rhythm
• Growth Hormone – helps with muscle repair, fat metabolism, and recovery
When these hormones are balanced, your body works efficiently. When they’re not, symptoms can quietly add up.
