Do you ever wonder why you feel less than ideal around your period? Or why your mood fluctuates with your menstrual cycle? It may help to know that hormone imbalances may be driving your symptoms!Hormones are one of your body’s chemical messengers. They are made in special glands (called endocrine glands) and travel through the bloodstream delivering instructions to the various tissues and organs. In addition to roles in sex drive and reproduction, hormones affect virtually every body function from digestion and metabolism to hair growth and happiness.
