Do Hormones Only Impact The Reproductive System? - Dr. Legato (VIDEO)

Dr. Legato:

It's absolutely false to say that the impact of hormones is simply on the reproductive system in either male or female individuals. Hormones are tremendously important in maintaining the health and integrity of all our tissues.

So, hormones have a very widespread impact on human physiology in both sexes.
