Why You Need to Get Your Hormones Checked (Even If You Think You’re Fine)

When you hear the word hormones, you might think of moody teenagers, menopause, or muscle-building testosterone. But here’s the truth: hormones control nearly every system in your body. And when they’re off — even just a little — it can quietly wreak havoc on your energy, mood, weight, sleep, and so much more.

At VIVE Wellness & Aesthetics, we believe that your body’s symptoms are signals — not annoyances to be ignored. And often, those signals point straight to hormonal imbalance.

What Are Hormones, Really?

Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate major bodily functions like:

• Metabolism

• Sleep

• Reproductive health

• Mood

• Stress response

• Energy levels

• Libido

Think of them as the “WiFi” of your body: invisible, but absolutely essential. And when the signal gets weak, everything suffers.

Common Signs Your Hormones Might Be Out of Whack

Hormonal imbalance doesn’t always announce itself with flashing lights. Often, it shows up subtly — and is mistaken for "just getting older" or "just being stressed."

Here are some common signs something might be off:

✅ Constant fatigue, even with enough sleep

✅ Weight gain that won’t budge

✅ Brain fog or trouble concentrating

✅ Mood swings, anxiety, or depression

✅ Irregular periods or low libido

✅ Poor sleep or waking up exhausted

✅ Hair thinning or dry skin

If any of these sound familiar, it’s not all in your head — it might be in your hormones.

Who Should Get Their Hormones Checked?

Honestly? Everyone over the age of 30 should consider it — especially if they’re experiencing any of the symptoms above.

But it’s particularly important if you are:

• Approaching or experiencing perimenopause or menopause

• A man noticing decreased energy, motivation, or sexual function

• Under chronic stress or recovering from illness

• Experiencing sudden changes in mood, sleep, or weight
