Hormonal Dysregulation

Meaning

Hormonal dysregulation is a clinical state characterized by a significant imbalance in the synthesis, secretion, transport, action, or clearance of hormones, leading to a measurable deviation from the body’s physiological homeostatic set points. This condition can manifest as either an excess or a deficiency of specific hormones, or as an altered sensitivity of target tissues to these essential chemical messengers. Addressing dysregulation is a central focus of restorative endocrinology, as it profoundly impacts metabolic function, reproductive health, and psychological well-being.
