Endocrine System Disruptions

Meaning

Endocrine System Disruptions represent a state where the normal synthesis, secretion, transport, binding, action, or elimination of endogenous hormones is adversely altered by external or internal factors. These disruptions can manifest as subtle alterations in feedback loops or as overt clinical syndromes, profoundly impacting metabolic health, reproductive function, and neurobehavioral balance. Common disruptors include environmental chemicals, chronic stress, specific medications, and various disease states that interfere with glandular function or receptor sensitivity. Addressing these disruptions is a core focus in restorative hormonal medicine.
