Hormonal Imbalance
Our increasingly stressful lives, worsening nutrition and lack of proper fitness combine to result in declining levels of hormones in our bodies.
The reproductive system is most affected by this imbalance of hormones. A female hormonal imbalance could cause heavy periods, infertility, and endometriosis.
