Why are Hormones Important?

Hormones play a crucial role in our bodies, regulating everything from our mood and appetite to our metabolism and muscle growth. For individuals interested in improving their fitness, understanding the impact hormones have on the body is essential. Whether you are a seasoned athlete or a beginner, knowing how hormones affect your body can help you achieve your fitness goals more efficiently and effectively.

As we age (particularly after age 40), hormones start to decline. This means, you might start to feel the effects of hormone imbalance either physically, emotionally, or both. For some, it might be stubborn weight accumulation in the midsection and lower energy. For women, menstrual cycles start to change; and or men they might first notice a change in ability to put on muscle mass, motivation or drive, or change in libido.

Remember when you were in your 20s, and you could eat anything, do anything, and you not only felt amazing, but didn’t worry about gaining fat when you looked at a piece of bread?! By rebalancing hormones through nutrition, supplements, hormone therapies, or peptides, we can assist your body in helping you feel and look your best at any age.
