Signs of hormonal failure: how to detect them yourself

The internal ecology of the body is completely subject to hormones and it is by their "order" that major changes are taking place, both in appearance and in well-being. Under the influence of estrogen, the body of a 13-year-old girl is completely rebuilt, and she turns into a sexually mature girl. The impact of a powerful adrenaline rush rewards a young mother with remarkable strength, who is able to lift a multi-ton car in order to save her child. The contribution to hormonal and metabolic failure is made by 7 hormones that are completely interdependent. Read the article on how  you can independently detect signs of hormonal failure, and how such changes can be dangerous.

Signs of hormonal failure in the body

As you read this article, note any manifestations or symptoms that you have noticed over the past 6 months.

1. When you look at your reflection in the mirror, you do not like your appearance and even seem frightening.
2. You are constantly eating your favorite foods and snacking often, even when you are not hungry. The feeling of hunger comes fairly quickly (less than 4 hours after the last meal).
3. You have noticed that your weight is quite unstable.
4. Unable to find the right diet, constantly jumping from one to another. Sometimes you try to limit yourself in food, but this can only be done for a short time.
5. After eating, lethargy, drowsiness or fatigue occurs.
6. Your daily tradition – weighing. The number on the scale determines the mood for the whole day ahead.
7. You have a stash full of chocolate bars, marshmallows, waffles and other goodies, periodically you partially empty it.
8. You systematically overeat. For example, instead of eating a couple of slices, you eat the whole package at a time. You are gnawed by the fact that you eat too much harmful and high-calorie food, you feel remorse for too large portions. You can't stop in time and eat until you start to feel unnaturally full.
9. After you have stuffed your stomach with an impressive amount of food, you try to counteract the effects of your overeating with vomiting, laxatives, or debilitating exercise.
10. You have diseases that are a consequence of overeating (prediabetes, diabetes, atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome). Experts have recommended that you get rid of excess weight in order to maintain health.
11. To enjoy your favorite food, you need to eat more of it each time (for example, french fries, chocolate, etc.).
12. You often have thoughts about your weight and food.
13. You continue to eat foods that negatively affect your health, causing bloating, abdominal pain, weight gain, etc.
14. You only use any dietary restrictions until your weight returns to normal.

Interpretation of results

If you have noted 5 or more signs of hormonal failure, then you should radically change your lifestyle – refuse junk food and control portion sizes, avoid stressful situations.

If you counted only 4 or less signs, then it is likely that your hormonal status is in no way a threat to health.

The problem of excess weight is often the result of a hormonal failure in the body, so it is very important to identify violations in a timely manner and normalize the functioning of the body as soon as possible.
