On Friday 24 April, we’ll be taking part in World Hormone Day.
It’s a chance to think about the small steps we can all take towards better hormone health, like staying active, eating healthy, getting enough sleep and avoiding plastic packaging.

Option 1
Tomorrow is World HormoneDay! We’ll be helping to raise awareness of the vital role hormones play in health and disease – #BecauseHormonesMatter
Hormones affect growth, energy, stress, reproduction and a whole lot more. When they’re out of balance or fail, this can lead to diseases such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, cancer and many rare endocrine conditions. Better awareness means people can do more to protect their health and get diagnosed and treated sooner.

When hormones are out of balance or fail, this can lead to chronic diseases such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, cancer, osteoporosis and obesity, and other health challenges such as infertility.
There are also more than 440 rare endocrine conditions that affect millions of people worldwide, but often go undetected.
Despite scientific progress and increased awareness in some areas, there’s still a lot more that can be done.

Option 5
Today is World Hormone Day.
Around the world, there is growing concern about exposure to ‘forever chemicals’ and their impact on health.
Many of these chemicals disrupt our hormones, increasing the risk of conditions like obesity, diabetes, cancer and infertility.
World Hormone Day is a chance to put this issue in the spotlight so more can be done to reduce exposure to harmful chemicals.
Please help spread the word!
