How do hormonal imbalances affect your health?Updated 20 days ago

When your hormones are out of balance, it can feel like your body is working against you. You might feel moody or fatigued, experience breakouts or cravings, or notice changes in your menstrual cycle, even if nothing in your routine has changed.

Most of us think about estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone (the primary sex hormones) when we hear “hormone imbalance.” These hormones are powerful and essential, but they don’t work alone. They’re influenced by other systems in the body, including your metabolism, stress response, and blood sugar regulation.

When those systems get thrown off, often due to insulin resistance, inflammation, or chronic stress, it can disrupt how sex hormones are produced, processed, and balanced.

Common signs of hormonal imbalance include:

✔️ Low energy or “crash” fatigue
✔️ Irritability, anxiety, or feeling emotionally off
✔️ Increased cravings, especially for sweets or carbs
✔️ Breakouts in new or persistent patterns
✔️ Irregular cycles or worsening PMS

Understanding these patterns is the first step to feeling better. Supporting your metabolism, stress response, and nutrient levels can help bring your body back into balance.

At Semaine, we created The Daily to offer gentle, consistent support for these deeper systems so your hormones can find their rhythm again.
