Hormone imbalances

The lists below show all the signs & symptoms of different hormone imbalances. You will see there is a lot! And they do overlap somewhat. This is because all the hormones have a knock on effect on to other hormones. It would be very unusual to have only one imbalance as the others jump in to compensate. These symptoms are a collection from many sources and text books collated by Dr Julia Hunter MD, so a big thank you to her.

You can print this page off and circle them to see how well you are doing. Look for a collection of symptoms to give a clue to your imbalance.
