Although powerful, hormones exist within our body in relatively small amounts when compared to other elements like blood and oxygen. But despite being so small, these naturally occurring chemicals are extremely powerful and carry the messages that drive many of the functions and metabolic processes that our body performs.
Some hormones, known as precursor hormones, have a primary function to begin a chain of events that lead to the production of other hormones that signal other systems of our body. They initiate the chain a reaction that eventually leads to performing a final function. Such precursor hormones can be thought of as “steppingstones.” Our bodies need them to pave the way to function as it should.
Scientists have identified over 50 different hormones in the human body. These hormones, together with the tissues and glands that produce them, are collectively known as our endocrine system. This system is a vital part of the complex machine that is the human body. Hormones control many metabolic processes in our bodies, including:
If you understand the human body, you may know that it is important that our various processes and systems work intimately together. Because of this, we may only be aware of a single symptom that we are feeling. But, because of the complex interactions of our hormones, it is possible the symptom we feel could represent multiple things being out of balance. It’s important to understand that with just one important part of our body out of balance may lead to a maelstrom of different symptoms that could cause pain or discomfort.
Hormones are produced in the endocrine system which is made up of a series of multiple glands. These glands are tissues that produce one or more different substances. They can produce hormones, or things like digestive enzymes, saliva, sweat, or tears.
The major glands in the human endocrine system include:
There are also non-endocrine system organs and tissues that release hormones. These include:
Because hormones are so powerful, they are, basically, the primary drivers of our bodies and their systems. An underlying problem in any of these glands, or with any of the hormones they produce, can lead to cascading effects that ripple throughout the body.
Because there are so many hormones that provide such a wide array of functions in our bodies, there are various symptoms that have been associated with hormone imbalances. Some of the most prevalent include:
How Can Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Lead to Weight Loss?
Unexpected weight loss or gain is one of the most common symptoms. It is a prevalent symptom and complaint that is associated with various hormonal imbalances. Hormones control your metabolism and sexual function, both of which can have drastic effects on your body weight. Some of the hormonal imbalances that can directly cause significant weight gain include:
Menopause in women and andropause in men are expected to happen once we age beyond a certain threshold. Recently, many Western societies have been finding men and women suffering through the effects of these reductions in sex hormones at much earlier ages. They are also finding levels far lower than they should be at certain ages.
There are some unnatural causes that could be contributing to the dramatic decline of these critical sex hormones, including:
