Common Causes of Hormone Imbalance in Women: Key Triggers Explained
A woman’s hormonal health is a complex web of interconnected systems. When symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, or hot flashes appear, it’s rarely due to a single issue. Instead, it’s often the result of several underlying factors, from natural life transitions to the pressures of modern life, that disrupt your body's delicate endocrine balance.
Understanding these root causes is the foundation of the EvexiPEL Method. We don’t just treat the symptom; we investigate the “why” behind it.
Aging
As you age, your body naturally produces fewer hormones. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels gradually decline, which can lead to fatigue, mood changes, and shifts in body composition. This process begins earlier than many women realize, often starting in the late 30s.
Perimenopause
The transition before menopause, perimenopause, often begins in your 30s or 40s. It brings fluctuating hormone levels that can cause irregular periods, hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances, even while your cycle continues.
Menopause
Menopause occurs when the ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone, usually around age 50. This natural life stage can bring significant hormonal changes, affecting nearly every aspect of your physical and emotional well-being.
Hysterectomy
Surgical removal of the uterus, especially when it includes removing the ovaries, can trigger sudden and dramatic hormonal shifts, often leading to immediate menopausal symptoms at any age.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
PCOS is a common endocrine disorder that affects ovulation and can cause high androgen (male hormone) levels, leading to irregular periods, infertility, acne, and weight gain.
Thyroid Dysfunction
Your thyroid gland acts as the master regulator of your metabolism. Both overactive (hyperthyroidism) and underactive (hypothyroidism) thyroid conditions can throw off your hormonal balance, affecting energy, metabolism, mood, and menstrual cycles.
Metabolic Syndrome
Conditions like insulin resistance, high blood pressure, and abdominal obesity, collectively known as metabolic syndrome, can interfere with hormonal harmony and raise the risk of chronic disease by disrupting how your body produces and uses key hormones.
Stress & Adrenal Dysfunction
Chronic stress can overwork your adrenal glands, leading to imbalances in cortisol, DHEA, and other hormones that regulate your stress response, sleep, and energy levels, ultimately causing burnout.
High or Low Cortisol Levels
Cortisol is the body's primary "stress hormone." When levels are too high or too low for extended periods, it can disrupt sleep, weight, immune function, and the balance of your reproductive hormones.
Poor Diet & Nutrient Deficiencies
Your body needs key vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats to produce and regulate hormones. Poor nutrition or restrictive diets can deprive your body of these essential building blocks, leading to significant hormonal disruptions.
