🌿 Are Your Hormones Trying to Get Your Attention?
🌿 Could Your Hormones Be Trying to Tell You Something?
Weight gain that feels difficult to shift, changes in your skin, low energy or disrupted sleep may not simply be down to “getting older” or lacking willpower.
Signs that may be worth exploring include:
⚖️ Unexplained weight gain, particularly around the middle
😴 Persistent fatigue or low motivation
🌙 Poor sleep or waking during the night
🧠 Brain fog, low mood, anxiety or irritability
🩸 Irregular, heavy or painful periods
🔥 Hot flushes or night sweats
💇♀️ Hair thinning or increased hair shedding
🧴 Dry, oily, itchy or acne-prone skin
🍫 Increased cravings or difficulty balancing blood sugar
🦋 Feeling unusually cold, sluggish or constipated
💗 Changes in libido or vaginal health
Nutrition plays an important role in hormone health. Adequate protein, healthy fats, fibre, colourful vegetables and balanced meals can support blood sugar regulation, gut health, hormone production and the healthy elimination of hormones.
However, diet is only one part of the picture.
🧪 Functional testing may help us look more deeply at potential underlying drivers, including:
🔬 Thyroid function and thyroid antibodies
🔬 Blood sugar and insulin regulation
🔬 Nutrient levels, including vitamin D, iron, B12 and folate
🔬 Stress and cortisol patterns
🔬 Sex-hormone metabolism
🔬 Gut health and the microbiome
🔬 Nutrigenomics and how your genes may influence hormone pathways
Testing should always be selected carefully and interpreted alongside your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, medications and existing NHS or GP results.
You do not have to accept feeling exhausted, uncomfortable or unlike yourself simply because your routine blood tests have been described as “normal.”
💚 At Anne Andrew Nutrition, I help you connect the dots through personalised nutrition, lifestyle support and functional testing where appropriate.
