WELCOME - Introduction by Linda M. Rio, M.A., Marriage and Family Therapist

         WHAT DO ALL OF THESE HAVE IN COMMON? HORMONES!

WELCOME! This site is dedicated to providing reliable information for those who want
to be informed about their bodies and the hormonal system that affects us all.

Men and women, children and teens are affected by hormones. Hormones are amazing
components of our bodies and when in the right balance help our physical and mental
health function properly. Hormones are important and necessary for growth and health.

Physical imbalances and disturbances within the hormonal system do, however, occur
frequently and can lead to ill- mental and physical health and even changes in the
outward appearance of the body. Behavior, mental/emotional changes can occur
as well that can lead to tension within a marriage, the family, social and work
relationships. The information on this site comes from some of the top medical
and mental health experts in the world. Also, sometimes hormonal problems, or
those “raging hormones”, are an indication of a deeper medical issue that needs
to be dealt with by properly trained physicians and mental health professionals.
Additional information on such issues can be found at www.pituitary.org.

When things seem to be going awry or just not functioning well we are sometimes told
“Just deal with it”… or “Just loose weight”…”Go on a diet”… “Exercise more”…”It’s all in
your head”…or we say to ourselves, “It’s just my raging hormones”! And by viewing this
site you have taken the first step toward empowering yourself with information and
resources necessary toward feeling better!
