I-SHALL + Hormonal Changes / Perimenopause / Menopause / Andropause
The primary function of hormones is to regulate your metabolism. Hormonal imbalances occur during natural processes, like Menopause and Andropause, or in issues like thyroid disorders, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and metabolic syndrome.
Different hormones work together to regulate our bodies. But when one fails, the whole equilibrium crashes and new diseases can arise. For instance, hormonal changes in Menopause can lead to the accumulation of belly fat, an increase in insulin resistance, and the development of metabolic syndrome. In Andropause, a hormonal imbalance, often characterized by declining testosterone levels, can lead to a range of issues including but not limited to, decrease libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, mood swing, reduced muscle mass, increase body fat and bone density loss.
