Hormonal Discrimination

Meaning

Hormonal Discrimination refers to the unfair or prejudicial treatment of an individual based on their specific hormonal status, including natural variations, deficiencies, imbalances, or the use of prescribed hormone therapies. This discrimination can manifest in various settings, such as employment, insurance coverage, or access to certain health services, leading to inequitable opportunities and outcomes. Recognizing and addressing this form of bias is crucial for promoting metabolic and endocrine equity within the broader wellness and healthcare landscape. It highlights the societal impact of physiological differences.
