Hormones are important chemical messengers that facilitate communication between different parts of the body and affect many aspects of your overall health. Hormones are secreted by the thyroid, adrenals, pituitary, ovaries, testes and pancreas. The entire endocrine system works together to control the level of hormones circulating throughout the body, and if one or more is imbalanced it can lead to health problems. The good news is that there are ways to bring your hormones back into balance naturally.
