3 Types of Hormone Imbalance
•
•
•
Hormone excess
Hormone resistance
Hormone deficiency
Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) Axis
Negative Feedback System
• Hypothalamus signals to the
pituitary by releasing or inhibiting
hormones
• Anterior pituitary produces
hormones to determine target
gland secretion
• Target glands secrete peripheral
hormones that feed back to
hypothalamus

Steroid Hormones
Family of Hormones Made From Cholesterol
•
Progesterone, estrogens, and androgens
•
Cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)
•
And many more hormones
•
Produced in the ovaries, adrenal glands, and various
peripheral tissues
•
Control sexual development, fertility,
reproduction, and stress handling
•
May be anabolic or catabolic

Other Considerations
Hormone Imposters
Xeno-hormones are chemicals that mimic hormone activity.
•
Women exposed to them through cleaning, personal
care and fragrance products, and pesticides
•
May congest the liver and impair regular detoxification
•
Act as endocrine disruptors, unable to carry out
normal hormone functions
