11. PMS
The most common and likely the most relatable example of hormonal imbalance on this list, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is defined as any symptoms related to the menstrual cycle.
According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, at least 85 percent of women experience at least one adverse symptom during their monthly cycle (21).
Symptoms of PMS cover a wide range, both emotionally and physically. They can include hunger cravings, headaches, backaches, irritability, acne, and more. However, you should be able to easily manage most symptoms with a little planning.
For those with the most severe form of PMS, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), professional help is often called for (22).
12. Diabetes
Even though diabetes is one of the most well-known and common diseases known to man, most people do not know that it is a hormonal disorder (23).
Type 2 diabetes is far more common than type 1 (approximately 95 percent of all diabetes patients) and is a result of insulin resistance.
Insulin resistance occurs when the body does not respond to insulin, causing dangerously high blood glucose levels (24). Depending on the severity of insulin resistance, you can manage type 2 diabetes through diet, exercise, and effective natural remedies.
Type 1 diabetes, on the other hand, occurs when the pancreas does not produce insulin in response to carbohydrates.
This disease currently requires insulin injections, but there are a number of ongoing clinical trials with promising natural solutions and potential cures (25).
