What are hormones?

Hormones are chemical messengers that move around in the bloodstream of your body. They send signals that tell your body what to do and when to do it. There are over 50 hormones that make up our endocrine system. They are all unique and they are all important in helping you to stay healthy and well.

How do hormones affect me?

Hormones are involved in many of our different bodily functions. Growth, metabolism, appetite, puberty and fertility are just some of the important processes that hormones are responsible for.

Are my hormones normal?

Everyone’s hormonal makeup is different, so there is no real ‘normal’ when it comes to our hormones. Having said this, having enough of the right hormones is essential for maintaining our overall health and wellbeing. During times in our lives like perimenopause and menopause this is even more important. You can learn more about hormone levels on our Hormone Hub!
