What Is Hormone Imbalance
Hormone imbalance happens when your body makes too much or too little of certain hormones that control energy, metabolism, heart health, mood, sleep, sexual function, and how we age. Hormones act like messengers, telling different systems in your body how to work. When those messages get disrupted — even slightly — the effects can add up quickly.
Many people live with hormone imbalance symptoms for years, assuming they’re caused by stress, aging, or a busy lifestyle. In reality, these symptoms are often signs that the body is out of balance and needs support.
At Nava Health, we treat hormone imbalance as a root-cause issue, not a collection of random symptoms. Through advanced hormone testing, personalized treatment plans, and functional medicine care, our specialists identify what’s driving the imbalance and help restore hormonal balance — supporting both short-term symptom relief and long-term health, vitality, and longevity.

Common Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance in Women
Hormone imbalance in women most commonly involves estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and thyroid hormones. These imbalances can occur at any stage of life — including reproductive years, perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause — and often affect multiple systems at once.
Hormone Imbalance Symptoms in Women
Energy, Mood & Brain Health
- Chronic fatigue or low energy
- Brain fog or trouble concentrating
- Mood swings or emotional ups and downs
- Anxiety, irritability, or depression
Sleep & Stress
- Trouble falling or staying asleep
- Night sweats
- Feeling “wired but tired” or burned out
Metabolism & Weight
- Unexplained weight gain
- Increased belly fat
- Difficulty losing weight despite diet and exercise
- Blood sugar swings or cravings
Reproductive & Sexual Health
- Irregular, heavy, or missed periods
- Low libido
- PMS or worsening premenstrual symptoms
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
Skin, Hair & Physical Changes
- Hair thinning or hair loss
- Acne or skin changes
- Loss of skin elasticity
Health Issues That May Be Linked to Hormone Imbalance in Women
Women with untreated hormone imbalance may also experience or be at higher risk for:
- Thyroid disorders
- Bone density loss
- Insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction
- Heart health changes, including cholesterol shifts and vascular stiffness
- Accelerated biological aging
These changes often develop quietly over time — which is why early hormone testing and treatment can make a meaningful difference.

Common Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance in Men
Hormone imbalance in men typically involves testosterone, along with estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and thyroid hormones. While testosterone naturally changes with age, significant symptoms are not inevitable and often point to an underlying issue that can be evaluated and treated.
Hormone Imbalance Symptoms in Men
Energy, Mood & Mental Performance
- Ongoing fatigue
- Low motivation or drive
- Brain fog or trouble focusing
- Mood changes, irritability, or depression
Sexual & Reproductive Health
- Low libido
- Erectile dysfunction
- Reduced sexual performance
Body Composition & Metabolism
- Loss of muscle mass

Physical Changes
- Changes in body hair growth
- Decreased bone density
- Gynecomastia (male breast tissue enlargement)
Health Issues That May Be Linked to Hormone Imbalance in Men
Men with untreated hormone imbalance may also face:
- Increased cardiovascular risk
- Insulin resistance and metabolic issues
- Bone loss and fracture risk
- Cognitive decline
- Reduced vitality and resilience
Over time, hormone imbalance can contribute to faster aging and a noticeable decline in quality of life if left unaddressed.

Nava Health takes a personalized approach to hormonal imbalance, focusing on identifying the root cause rather than just managing symptoms. Through advanced testing, our Nava Health professionals assess hormone levels and develop a customized plan. This plan may include lifestyle adjustments, targeted supplements, and Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to help bring hormones back into balance and support overall well-being.
Hormones play a key role in regulating emotions, cognitive function, and overall well-being. When hormone levels are out of balance, individuals may experience mood swings, anxiety, irritability, or feelings of depression. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone influence neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which help regulate mood. Addressing hormone imbalances through a comprehensive plan created by our team can improve emotional stability and mental clarity.
Hormonal fluctuations can contribute to skin concerns like acne, dryness, and sensitivity. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone impact oil production, collagen maintenance, and hydration. A decrease in estrogen, for example, may cause dryness and thinning skin, while an excess of androgens could lead to acne breakouts. Balancing hormone levels may help support clearer and healthier skin.
Hormones influence metabolism, fat storage, and appetite regulation. An imbalance in insulin, cortisol, thyroid hormone, or sex hormones could contribute to unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight. For instance, high cortisol levels from chronic stress might promote fat storage, especially in the abdominal area, while changes in estrogen and progesterone may impact metabolism.
Hormonal imbalance may interfere with many bodily functions, leading to symptoms like fatigue, weight fluctuations, mood swings, sleep disruptions, digestive problems, and decreased libido. Over time, untreated imbalances could contribute to metabolic disorders, cardiovascular concerns, or bone density loss. Identifying and addressing hormone fluctuation can support long-term health and well-being.
Signs of hormonal imbalance may include:
- Unexplained weight gain or loss
- Fatigue or low energy levels
- Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
- Sleep disturbances
- Low libido
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Digestive discomfort
- Skin concerns such as acne or dryness
- Hair thinning or loss
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating. If any of these symptoms persist, seeking a hormone assessment could help determine the underlying cause.
Testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone play a key role in sexual health. When these hormones are imbalanced, libido may decrease, and issues like vaginal dryness or erectile dysfunction could arise. Stress-related hormonal changes, including elevated cortisol levels, might also contribute to reduced sexual desire.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a treatment designed to restore hormonal balance using hormones that are very similar to those naturally produced by the body. BHRT is often recommended for people dealing with hormone imbalances due to aging, menopause, or other factors. Since these hormones closely resemble the body’s natural ones, they are better absorbed, which may help relieve symptoms and restore balance.
BHRT can be given in different forms, including creams, gels, patches, injections, and pellets. The right method depends on individual needs and treatment goals. At Nava Health, our specialists tailor BHRT to each person’s unique hormone profile to ensure the best results.
While BHRT is generally well-tolerated, some may experience temporary side effects, such as fluid retention, acne, or mood swings, as the body adjusts. More serious risks, like an increased risk of blood clots or certain cancers, depend on personal health history and dosage. Our healthcare professionals will review your medical history and monitor your progress to minimize risks and ensure the best treatment outcomes.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a condition caused by hormonal imbalance, often involving excess androgens and insulin resistance. It can lead to symptoms like irregular periods, acne, weight gain, and excessive hair growth. Treating PCOS typically involves lifestyle changes, a healthy diet, and hormone support to manage symptoms and improve overall health.
The endocrine system controls hormone production and balance. Problems with glands like the thyroid, adrenal glands, or ovaries can cause hormonal imbalances. Our experts can help identify and treat any underlying issues with the endocrine glands, which is key to restoring hormone health.
Thyroid disorders, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, can disrupt hormonal balance. The thyroid plays a key role in metabolism, energy, and temperature regulation. When it’s not working properly, it can cause symptoms like fatigue, weight gain or loss, and mood swings. Keeping the thyroid healthy is essential for overall hormonal stability.
