You’re doing all the right things—eating clean, staying active, trying to manage stress—but something still feels off. You’re exhausted, irritable, gaining weight for no reason, or just not feeling like yourself anymore.
If that sounds familiar, it’s time to consider what most people overlook:
your hormones.
At Hera Health Care, we hear this story every day from women who’ve been told “everything looks normal”—but they know their body, and they know something isn’t right.
Let’s talk about 10 often-missed signs of hormone imbalance, and what you can do to get back in sync.
1. Fatigue That Doesn’t Go Away
No matter how much sleep you get, you still wake up tired—or you crash in the middle of the afternoon. This could point to imbalances in cortisol, thyroid hormones, or estrogen.
2. Mood Swings or Anxiety
Do you feel like your emotions are all over the place? Mood swings, irritability, and even anxiety or depression can be signs of low progesterone or fluctuating estrogen.
3. Low Libido
If your sex drive has disappeared and you’re not sure why, it’s not just in your head. Testosterone, estrogen, and DHEA all play major roles in sexual health for women.
4. Weight Gain—Especially Around Your Middle
Unexplained weight gain—especially belly fat—may be linked to high cortisol levels (your stress hormone) or insulin resistance, even if your diet hasn’t changed.
5. Brain Fog
Struggling to focus, forgetting words, or feeling mentally “fuzzy”? Your brain needs balanced hormones to function clearly—especially estrogen and thyroid hormones.
6. Sleep Struggles
Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep can stem from low progesterone (which promotes calm) or cortisol spikes that keep your body wired at night.
7. Irregular or Heavy Periods
This is one of the most obvious signs, but often brushed off as “just stress.” Changes in your cycle often reflect deeper hormone shifts that need to be addressed.
8. Hair Thinning or Loss
If your ponytail is shrinking or your brush is full of strands, you may be dealing with low thyroid, high androgens, or a drop in estrogen after 35.
9. Dry Skin and Vaginal Dryness
Skin that feels dull, thin, or dry? Vaginal dryness or discomfort? Estrogen plays a key role in skin elasticity and hydration, inside and out.
10. Digestive Issues
Hormones affect your gut more than you think. Bloating, constipation, or IBS-like symptoms can be triggered by estrogen dominance or stress-related cortisol changes.
