What do hormones have to do with stroke recovery?

 

Endocrinology is the science of your body’s hormones and how they affect the function of basically everything.  The thyroid affects cardiac efficiency, estrogen levels affect verbal memory, cortisol levels affect memory, mood and energy levels and dopamine increases alertness, focus, creativity, long-term memory and concentration.  Testosterone affects muscle mass and some of the muscle loss from weakened limbs.   Check out the Hormone Health page in the Resources section for information on why hormones should be on the forefront of your mind.
