Understanding Hormonal Imbalance: From Periods to Perimenopause

For many women, heavy periods, painful cycles, mood changes, fatigue, or sleep disruption are signs of hormonal imbalance that are often dismissed as “normal”. While common, these symptoms are definitely not normal and are not something you need to tolerate.

Hormonal imbalance can significantly affect quality of life with many of these women suffering significant pain, fatigue, sleep disruption as well as emotional and mental health changes.

Common Signs of Hormonal Imbalance

Hormonal imbalance may present as:

• Heavy or painful periods

• Irregular or absent cycles

• PCOS, endometriosis, adenomyosis

• Mood changes or anxiety

• Hot flushes or night sweats

• Sleep disruption

Why Hormones Need To Be Treated Holistically

Hormones are closely connected to:

• Gut health

• Stress and adrenal function

• Blood sugar regulation

• Nutrient status and mineral balance

• Heavy metals, toxic burden and detox pathways

Addressing hormones without considering these systems often leads to incomplete results.
