The endocrine system is a group of organs and glands, which act like an information signal system.

They release hormones that regulate key bodily functions. It is like building a house; imagine each hormone as a builder. If each builder is working properly, you get a very well built house however if halfway through the build a plumber doesn’t fit the pipes properly you will find that the house doesn’t function properly and could cause larger problems in the future i.e. burst pipes. Its exactly the same with your metabolism, if any of your hormones are out of tune your body can’t work the way it was meant to. As soon as one hormone goes, they all follow and that’s why when your balancing your hormones you must not just focus on one hormone at a time, you have to focus on all of them and try to get them back into line and start getting to work back in harmony again.
