Qigong can improve hormone levels
When people age, sex hormones tend to change in unfavourable ways. For example, female sex hormones, estrogen, decrease in aging women, while increase in aging men.
Qigong can help to reverse this trend.
The figure on the left illustrates the estradiol levels of hypertensive men and women. Estradiol is a sex hormone that aids in human reproduction.
After, practising Qigong, the estradiol levels in hypertensive men decreased to an almost normal level, while estradiol levels in hypertensive women increased to a normal level.
Therefore, Qigong can help to improve hormone levels

Stress hormone levels
Qigong can also help to reduce stress hormone levels, and to regulate hormones. This was tested in a study conducted by Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Wonkwang University School of Medicine, Chonbuk, Republic of Korea. Stress hormones were observed among a group of trainees. After undergoing Qigong training for 70 minutes, the stress hormones of these trainees significantly decreased. This result suggests that Qigong training, as a stress coping method, affects and plays a role in hormonal regulation.
Case Study
The following is a testimonial from Brendan Thorson, retrieved from The Noble School of Tachi and Qigong Training. For many people, reproductive hormone imbalance can lead to many problems. When a female's estrogen and progesterone levels become unbalanced, symptoms such as acne and oily skin can be experienced. Males can experience mood swings and sleep disturbances. Brendan Thorson used to have an imbalanced and disorganised energy system. However, Qigong helped him to overcome these problems.
"You can see that for both men and women, there are many different types of signs and symptoms related to reproductive hormonal imbalances. Prior to studying Yi Ren Qigong, I personally lived with a number of the above symptoms for men, all of which have been cured by this practice. I have also spoken to umpteen male and female students who have testified that Yi Ren Qigong has completely healed or significantly improved a tremendous amount of their problems related to reproductive hormone imbalances."

Summary
In conclusion, Qigong can help to regulate different types of hormones, such as stress hormones and reproductive hormones, thus eradicating symptoms that come with hormonal imbalance. The practice of Qigong has been proven to dramatically improve glandular health and balance hormone production.
