Holy Hormones!<br />
5 Common Health Questions, Answered<br />
BY KOURTNEY JASON<br />
Estrogen, testosterone, serotonin, progesterone, insulin—there are a<br />
number of hormones we’ve all heard of and whose purpose we understand.<br />
But do you really know the impact hormones have on your day-to-day life<br />
and health?<br />
“Hormones are the body’s chemical messengers that are released into the<br />
bloodstream and then transported to various tissues and body organs. They<br />
control and coordinate the body’s functions,” says Anna Rashidi, PharmD, a<br />
clinical pharmacy specialist at Innovative Compounding Pharmacy. “They’re<br />
vital to our well-being and health; and, when out of balance, can lead to<br />
multiple health problems, such as diabetes, thyroid issues, weight loss or gain,<br />
infertility, and myriad other issues.” But hormones aren’t always the cause,<br />
either. If you’re wondering whether yours are out of whack and the culprit<br />
behind your health concerns, read on.<br />

I’m having night sweats but<br />
not of menopausal age.<br />
What could it be?<br />
There’s more than one cause for night<br />
sweats, aka hot flashes that happen<br />
at night. The major contributors are<br />
being overweight, especially in the belly,<br />
hormonal fluctuations due to excess<br />
belly fat and/or entering perimenopause,<br />
and a spike in stress. Perimenopause<br />
begins several years before menopause<br />
(usually in a woman’s 40s) and is the<br />
time when the ovaries gradually begin to<br />
make less estrogen.<br />
