What is Endocrine Disorder ?

• Endocrine disorders are diseases related
  to the endocrine glands of the body. The
  endocrine system produces hormones, which are

  the bloodstream. Hormones help the body regulate
  processes, such as appetite, breathing, growth,
  fluid balance, feminization and virilization, and
  weight control.

  because you can help your body optimize hormone
  function and prevent issues like weight gain and
  diabetes
