If you’re in your late 30s or 40s and feeling “off”, your hormones may be shifting… even if your tests say they’re “normal.”
Perimenopause isn’t always picked up clearly on standard testing.
As a nutritionist, I interpret hormone results differently:
• Looking at the balance between oestrogen & progesterone (not just levels)
• Identifying signs of oestrogen dominance
• Assessing cortisol patterns and stress load
• Connecting symptoms like anxiety, poor sleep, and midsection weight gain
Your body works in rhythms, and in perimenopause, those rhythms start to change.
Blood tests are just one piece of the puzzle.
Your symptoms, lifestyle, stress levels, and nutrition all tell a deeper story.
You don’t have to wait until things are “bad enough” to get support.
By the time your blood test results are showing signs of dysfunction, you may already be experiencing symptoms.
