Hormones play a significant role in the body's ability to function correctly on a daily basis. Balanced hormone levels suggest that the body is healthy, whereas an imbalance in hormones could indicate an underlying problem. Both men and women have different essential hormones that affect the body in adverse ways if they are not balanced. Levels of estrogen and testosterone, which are vital hormones in the body, can be tested by a doctor. If needed, supplements can be used to balance one's hormone levels.
