WELCOME
We all know that there isn’t much we can do to influence the way we grow physically. Some people are just born to be bigger than others. Size is also the most recognisable form of a hormone imbalance, whether a person produces too much growth hormone and towers above even the tallest basketball players, or they don’t produce enough and are much smaller than average. But a lot of us don’t appreciate how much control hormones have over our energy levels, our moods and the way we think, our appetite and almost every facet of us as a person. This issue we’re exploring the endocrine system, the many hormone-producing glands that help regulate our various vital bodily functions and what happens when they go wrong. Enjoy the issue!
