Hormonal imbalances aren’t caused by just one thing, but by a combo of both internal and external factors. Some of these factors are within your control—but many aren’t! This can include things like age, a diet high in processed foods, a sedentary lifestyle, high stress levels, genetic disposition (imbalance that runs in the family), exposure to toxins in your environment, or surgeries that affect one or more of the organs and glands in the endocrine system.
