Useful quotes
Professor Wiebke Arlt, ESE President, says:
"There is still a major gap in public understanding of what hormones are and how people can look after their hormone health. Hormones influence almost every process in the body, yet most people only think about them when something goes wrong. World Hormone Day is a chance to change that by raising awareness and sharing practical steps everyone can take towards better hormone health."
