Signs your hormones need a closer look
- Fatigue, weight gain or feeling cold despite "normal" thyroid results
- Heavy, painful or irregular cycles; PMS that takes over your week
- Sleep that breaks at 3am, hot flashes, anxiety that arrived with perimenopause
- Low drive, low motivation and losing muscle in men
- Wired at night and exhausted in the morning
What sits underneath hormone imbalance
1. Thyroid and autoimmunity
Hashimoto's is autoimmune. Looking only at TSH can miss it; antibodies and the full thyroid picture matter. See the Autoimmune & Skin Center.
2. The gut and liver
Estrogen is cleared through the liver and gut. When either is congested, hormones recirculate. See the Gut Health Center.
3. Stress and cortisol
Chronic stress pulls resources away from sex hormones and disrupts thyroid conversion.
4. Toxins
Mold and endocrine-disrupting chemicals can interfere with hormone signalling. See the Mold & CIRS Center.
