Some key hormone deficiencies to understand include:
Thyroid deficiencies
The butterfly-shaped thyroid gland regulates metabolism. Hypothyroidism means underactive thyroid function, leading to weight gain, fatigue and sensitivity to cold. Getting your T3 and T4 levels tested is key.
Growth hormone deficiencies
Growth hormone fuels growth in childhood and helps maintain tissues and metabolism in adulthood. Growth hormone deficiency can severely impact quality of life. Symptoms include decreased muscle mass, increased belly fat, lower energy levels, and emotional changes.
Sex hormone deficiencies
Estrogen and testosterone influence reproduction and support many bodily functions. Deficiencies develop naturally from aging or medical conditions. Estrogen deficiency causes hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and osteoporosis for women. Testosterone deficiency reduces sex drive and energy in men.
