Hormones & Stress

Estrogen dominance usually isn’t overproduction. Impaired liver clearance and the gut estrobolome often drive it. How to find the block, and what shifts it.

Adrenal fatigue isn’t a recognised diagnosis, but the HPA axis dysregulation behind the symptoms is real. How it is assessed, and what supports recovery.

Balancing hormones naturally starts with what drives the imbalance: stress, thyroid, insulin, liver clearance and gut. How each is assessed and addressed.

DUTCH testing maps cortisol across the day plus its metabolites, showing stress patterns a single blood cortisol misses. What it measures, and what it cannot.

PCOS is driven by insulin resistance, inflammation and androgen disruption. Which tests identify your particular driver, and why that changes what works.

Estrogen and serotonin move together. When estrogen falls before your period, serotonin can drop with it, driving irritability, low mood and PMS anxiety.

Perimenopause is fluctuation, not simple deficiency. Why erratic estrogen and falling progesterone drive hot flushes, mood and sleep changes, and what helps.

Sleep and hormones run both ways: poor sleep shifts cortisol, insulin and leptin, while thyroid and oestrogen imbalance wrecks sleep quality in return.

Men often lose energy after 40 as testosterone, cortisol and metabolism shift. Why it isn’t inevitable, and which lifestyle and lab factors make a difference.

AI can summarise hormone information but cannot diagnose or treat hormonal problems. Why feedback loops across thyroid, adrenals and gut still need a clinician.
