Hormones are produced by the endocrine system, which includes the thyroid, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, and testes. When these glands aren’t functioning properly, or when your body becomes resistant to certain hormones (like insulin), it can trigger a cascade of symptoms and health issues.

Hormonal issues don’t always show up as obvious problems—instead, they often present as vague, frustrating symptoms that are easy to overlook or dismiss. If you’ve been told your labs are “normal” but still feel off, your hormones could be out of balance.
