Types of Hormone Imbalance
Hormone imbalance is a general term that can refer to upset levels of any
variety of your body's natural regulatory substances.
Hormones that are commonly imbalanced include:
- Aldosterone, which regulates salt levels
- Cortisol, which regulates energy
-
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) regulates sexual function and can be converted
by your body to other hormones
- Estrogen, which regulates secondary sexual characteristics
- Ghrelin, which regulates hunger
- Melatonin, which regulates sleep
- Progesterone, which regulates pregnancy and menstruation
-
Testosterone, which regulates secondary
sexual characteristics
- Thyroid, which regulates calorie burn
Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance
Some of the signs of hormone imbalance are:
- Aldosterone: high blood pressure
- Cortisol: weight gain, excessive stress, high blood pressure
-
DHEA: adrenal fatigue, joint pain, frequent sickness, loss of muscle mass

Estrogen: weight gain, breast cancer, hot flashes, joint pain, migraines
