Steve Jobs is one of the millions of people who are suffering ill-health and unexplained symptoms such as weight loss related to hormone imbalance. Hormones are very powerful substances that affect every cell in our body by turning it on, up, down, or off causing cells to reproduce, grow, mature, function and/or die. Because hormones affect every cell, there are multitudes of symptoms that can be expressed when hormonal imbalance takes place. Everything from mood issues to weight issues to thyroid issues to blood sugar issues or cardiovascular issues. The list of symptoms goes on and on. That’s why it is so important to know if your hormones are balanced. Blood tests the inactive, protein bound hormone while saliva tests the active unbound ready-to-make-something-happen form of the hormone, which is by far much more diagnostically significant. I hope Mr. Jobs finds himself a trained professional to help him in balancing his hormones.
