Hormones are chemical substances that affect the activity of parts of the body. Hormones serve as messengers - controlling and coordinating activities throughout the body. They can regulate anything from the reproduction to emotions, general health and well-being. Hormones control you physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Unfortunately, hormones sometimes get out of balance. This can lead to problems such as diabetes, weight gain or loss, infertility, sexual dysfunction, weak bones, and other problems.
