Are Your Hormones Making You Feel Like a Stranger in Your Own Body?
If you're in your 40s or 50s and wondering why your body suddenly feels different—why your energy has dipped, your weight is creeping up despite nothing changing, and why your brain feels like it’s lost its sharpness—you’re not alone.
These changes can be frustrating and, at times, even alarming (believe me, I know as I’ve experienced them too). The sleepless nights, unpredictable moods, sudden anxiety, and stubborn weight gain aren’t just ‘part of getting older’—they’re often signs of shifting hormones as you enter perimenopause. But instead of guessing what’s happening inside your body, wouldn’t it be better to know for sure?
Why Perimenopause Feels Like a Rollercoaster
Perimenopause is the phase leading up to menopause when your hormone levels fluctuate wildly. Oestrogen and progesterone, two key hormones that influence everything from mood to metabolism, don’t decline in a straight line—they rise and fall unpredictably. The result? You may feel completely fine one day and utterly exhausted the next.
Symptoms like:
Brain fog and forgetfulness
Unexplained weight gain (especially around the middle)
Poor sleep and night sweats
Low energy, even after a full night's rest
Anxiety or mood swings that seem to come out of nowhere
Bloating and digestive discomfort
…are all common, but that doesn’t mean you have to just put up with them.
Many women spend years battling these symptoms without realising they’re hormone-related. If this sounds familiar, it’s time to dig deeper.
How Can You Get Clarity on Your Hormones?
Traditional blood tests often provide limited insight, giving only a single snapshot in time. That’s where advanced hormone testing, like the DUTCH Test, is a game-changer. The DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) Test measures key hormones and how your body processes them throughout the day, offering a detailed, accurate picture of what’s happening beneath the surface.
This test is particularly helpful if you:
Suspect your hormones are out of balance but want concrete answers
Are considering HRT and want to assess if it’s right for you
Are already on HRT but unsure if it’s working effectively
Prefer a natural approach and want to understand how diet and lifestyle impact your hormones
The Power of Testing: Why the DUTCH Test Can Help You Get Answers
Instead of guessing or self-diagnosing based on symptoms alone, a DUTCH Test provides a full picture of what’s really happening with your hormones. Unlike basic blood tests, which only show a snapshot of hormone levels at one point in time, the DUTCH Test measures hormone production and metabolism over 24 hours—giving a far more accurate and useful insight into your body’s patterns.
This test can help answer: ✔️ Are your oestrogen and progesterone levels balanced? ✔️ Is stress (cortisol) playing a role in your symptoms? ✔️ Are your hormones metabolising efficiently, or is your body struggling to clear them out? ✔️ Could your symptoms be linked to nutrient deficiencies or sluggish detox pathways? ✔️ If you’re on HRT, is it being processed effectively by your body?
Armed with this knowledge, you can take real, targeted action rather than trial-and-error guessing with supplements, diets, or lifestyle changes.
Natural Solutions for Perimenopause (That Actually Work)
Many women are searching for natural ways to support their bodies through perimenopause—whether that’s because they’re unsure about HRT, want to try alternatives first, or want to enhance their current treatment plan.
By understanding exactly where your imbalances lie, we can create a tailored plan that might include:
Realistic and compassionate diet adjustments to support hormone balance and reduce inflammation
Targeted supplements that address specific deficiencies
Bespoke lifestyle strategies to manage stress and improve sleep for your unique life
Referrals to trusted menopause doctors if medical treatment is needed
How Nutrition and Lifestyle Impact Your Hormones
One of the most effective ways to support hormonal balance—whether you choose HRT or not—is through diet and lifestyle changes. Here’s where to start:
Balance your blood sugar—prioritise protein, healthy fats, and fibre to prevent energy crashes and mood swings.
Support your gut and liver—increase fibre intake and include cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli and kale) to aid hormone metabolism.
Reduce stress where possible—chronic stress elevates cortisol, which can make weight gain, brain fog, and sleep issues worse.
Prioritise good sleep hygiene—quality sleep is essential for hormonal health and energy levels.
These foundational changes can make a significant difference in how you feel day to day.
