The specialty which deals with hormones and hormone producing glands is known as Endocrinology.
Here at TMCK Dr Katie Wynne focuses on this complex bodywide system which helps control many aspects of your day to day life, including digestion, the process by which your food is converted into energy (metabolism), growth, blood pressure and reproduction.
Common issues resulting from dysfunction of the hormone (endocrine) system include
