Hormone Balance
What Are Hormones?
Hormones are chemical messengers produced by your endocrine glands. They travel through your bloodstream, helping different parts of your body communicate and work together to support normal body functions.
Why Does It Matter?
Healthy hormone communication helps support energy, metabolism, sleep, mood, stress response, growth, reproduction, and overall quality of life. Understanding how your hormones work together can help you make informed lifestyle choices and better understand your wellness journey.
I really like these because they're educational, easy to understand, and they fit your coaching style without making medical claims. They also lead naturally into your next section:

DHEA & DHEA-S
Overview
DHEA is a steroid hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands. DHEA-S is its sulfated form and is the more abundant form circulating in the bloodstream.
Why It Matters
DHEA serves as a precursor in pathways that produce androgens and estrogens, connecting adrenal function with the broader hormone system.

SHBG
Estrogen E1 E2 -Total
Overview
SHBG is a protein produced primarily by the liver that binds sex hormones, particularly testosterone and estradiol, and carries them through the bloodstream.
Why It Matters
SHBG influences how much testosterone and estrogen circulates in bound versus unbound forms, creating an important connection between liver function and hormone availability.
Estrogen E1 E2 -Total
Estrogen E1 E2 -Total
Overview:
Estrogens are a group of hormones found in both women and men, although levels and roles differ. Estradiol (E2) and estrone (E1) are two major forms of estrogen.
Why It Matters:
Estrogens influence reproductive function, bone health, brain function, cardiovascular health, and other tissues throughout the body.
Progesterone
Overview:
Progesterone is a steroid hormone involved in reproductive function and menstrual-cycle regulation. Men also produce smaller amounts of progesterone.
Why It Matters:
Progesterone participates in reproductive hormone pathways and also serves as part of the body's larger steroid-hormone system
Testosterone & DHT
Overview:
Testosterone is an androgen produced by both women and men. DHT is a more potent androgen formed primarily from testosterone.
Why It Matters:
Androgens influence reproductive function, muscle, bone, skin, hair, and other androgen-responsive tissues.
