Hormones can sometimes cause unusual health effects in some people, even though many online claims about hormonal imbalance are exaggerated. This video from board-certified ObGyn Mama Doctor Jones covers five less common effects linked to hormones: premenstrual dysphoric disorder, insomnia, swelling, seizures, and spontaneous lactation. The presenter contrasts these documented effects with popular claims about "estrogen dominance" and out-of-balance hormones, which the video describes as fear-based marketing. The content is educational and is not a substitute for medical advice.
