Heard hormone therapy is 'dangerous'?

Swipe right to bust the myth & understand the truth.

Most men wait until something goes wrong before paying attention to their health.

But the truth is, prevention is the real power move.

When you focus on the fundamentals, you don’t just avoid disease, you build energy, strength, and resilience for decades ahead.

Think of these 6 pillars as your baseline investment in long-term health. No shortcuts, just steady returns.

Are you covering all of them?

So many women tell me:

“My labs are normal… but I still have irregular cycles, acne, bloating, and mood swings. What’s wrong with me?”

Here’s the truth → routine blood work often misses the real drivers of PCOS.

It’s not just about testosterone and sugar levels—there are deeper markers that explain why symptoms don’t go away.

These are 5 often-overlooked tests that can change the way we understand PCOS:

1️⃣ Fasting Insulin – You can have “normal” blood sugar but high insulin. Elevated insulin drives weight gain, sugar cravings, fatigue, and worsens hormone imbalance.

2️⃣ SHBG (S*x Hormone Binding Globulin) – Think of this protein as the “buffer” that binds excess testosterone. When SHBG is low, free testosterone rises → acne, hair thinning, and unwanted hair growth.

3️⃣ AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) – Women with PCOS often have higher AMH. It’s not just about diagnosis—it gives valuable insight into ovarian reserve and fertility planning.

4️⃣ hs-CRP (High-sensitivity C-reactive protein) – PCOS is more than a hormonal condition, it’s an inflammatory condition. Chronic inflammation makes insulin resistance worse and increases long-term risks for heart health.

5️⃣ Liver & Lipid Profile – PCOS is a metabolic condition. Women are at higher risk for fatty liver, high cholesterol, and long-term metabolic issues—things that standard hormone tests don’t reveal.

👉 If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but your body says otherwise, it’s worth exploring these deeper markers.

Always work with a doctor who looks at the whole picture—because PCOS is not just about your periods, it’s about your entire body and long-term health.

Many people tell me they feel bloated every time they travel. And while it’s often brushed off as “normal,” there are clear physiological reasons behind it:

🔹 Cabin pressure changes slow down gut motility and digestion.
🔹 Dehydration during flights increases water retention and discomfort.
🔹 Irregular meal timings & processed foods disrupt the gut microbiome.
🔹 Long hours of sitting reduce circulation and delay digestion.

The good news? A few simple strategies can make a huge difference:

1️⃣ Stay well-hydrated (skip sodas and alcohol—they make bloating worse).
2️⃣ Pack your own nutrient-dense, gut-friendly snacks.
3️⃣ Get up and stretch or walk whenever possible.
4️⃣ Once you arrive, bring back fiber and probiotics to reset your gut.

Your gut health is the foundation of how you feel and how much you enjoy your trip. When you travel with intention, your body thanks you. ✈️

We’ve been taught to think insulin resistance = “too much sugar.”

But here’s the truth → it’s much bigger than sugar.

Insulin resistance occurs when your cells fail to respond properly to insulin. Yes, sugar plays a role, but so do:

1. High triglycerides & low HDL → markers that your metabolism is struggling
2. Waist circumference & belly fat → your body’s biggest warning sign
3. High fasting insulin (often ignored in tests) → sometimes “normal sugar” is hiding a brewing problem
4. PCOS in women → often rooted in insulin resistance, long before diabetes shows up
5. Non-alcoholic fatty liver → not always about alcohol, but linked to poor insulin sensitivity

The scary part? Your sugar can look “normal” for years while insulin resistance silently builds.

That’s why I tell my patients: Don’t just check your fasting sugar. Ask for HbA1c, fasting insulin, lipid profile, and waist-to-hip ratio.

Because by the time your sugar spikes, the silent damage has already begun. Insulin resistance isn’t just about avoiding diabetes; it’s about protecting your hormones, your liver, your heart, and your future health.

If Your Body Had a Balance Sheet, Would You Be in the Green?

We keep a close eye on our EMIs. We check our CIBIL scores. Yet when it comes to health, most people don’t track anything until something goes wrong.

Your blood work is your body’s real P&L statement. You might “feel fine,” but silent changes like inflammation, insulin resistance, or low nutrients don’t show on your face. They show in your reports. And “normal” doesn’t always mean “optimal.”

If you’re in your 20s or 30s, this is the perfect time to create a baseline. These are the markers I recommend for every adult:

🩸 Fasting insulin – even if your sugars are “normal”
🩸 HbA1c – your 3-month average sugar
🩸 Lipid profile – ask about particle size, not just totals
🩸 CRP – your inflammation score
🩸 Thyroid panel – TSH, T3, T4, and antibodies
🩸 Vitamin D & B12 – often low in urban adults
🩸 Ferritin – an early sign of anaemia
🩸 Cortisol – useful if fatigue persists despite rest

Think of this as your preventive audit,before stress, hormones, and lifestyle catch up.

In your 20s, you’re told this is the decade of energy, confidence, and new beginnings.

But for many women, it’s also when unexplained fatigue, weight changes, hair thinning, and anxiety first appear only to be told it’s “just stress,” until the real diagnosis arrives: hypothyroidism.

It isn’t random.

✨ Autoimmunity: Conditions like Hashimoto’s are increasingly common, where the immune system mistakenly targets the thyroid.
✨ Hormones: PCOS, period irregularities, and even contraceptive use can influence thyroid health.
✨ Lifestyle stressors: Late nights, skipped meals, over-exercising, under-eating—all add strain.
✨ Environment: Everyday exposures, from plastics to pollutants, quietly affect hormones.
✨ Detection: We’re now diagnosing earlier because awareness and testing have improved.

So if you’re in your 20s and facing thyroid issues, you’re not “too young” and it’s certainly not your fault. The pressures and environments we live in today mean these conditions are being recognised earlier than ever.

For years, women have been told that forgetfulness, anxiety, or brain fog during midlife is “just a part of aging.”

But new research is finally catching up with what many of us already knew deep down:

Hormones especially estrogen, play a critical role in brain health.
In fact, the term AHD (Alzheimer’s Hormone Deficiency) is now being used to describe the cognitive decline that can follow menopause and estrogen loss.

Estrogen isn’t just about fertility or periods, it protects your brain’s neurons, supports memory, stabilizes mood, and helps regulate inflammation.

When it drops suddenly during perimenopause or menopause, the brain feels it.

We see it in the fog, the forgetfulness, the fears that creep in quietly and make us question ourselves.

This isn’t overreacting. It’s not “just hormones.”

It’s a real, biological shift and the sooner we recognize it, the sooner we can do something about it.

If you’ve been feeling off lately, not yourself, not as sharp, more anxious, it might not be just stress.Your hormones might be trying to tell you something. And there’s support for that.

Too often, women are handed prescriptions as quick fixes:

💊 Fatigue → iron
💊 Mood → SSRIs
💊 Weight → Ozempic
💊 Periods → the pill

But symptoms are signals, not life sentences.
Fatigue could be iron or thyroid.
Low mood could be Vitamin D or B12.
Bloating could be gut imbalance.

I’m not against medication. But real healing comes from asking why the body is struggling—then fixing it.

As a BHRT & Longevity doctor, I look deeper: the right labs, nutrient support, hormone balance, smarter lifestyle shifts.

Because you don’t need another pill.
You need the right plan.

Most women don’t overeat, they eat too late.

After 7pm, your body wants to repair, not digest.

That late dinner? It shows up as poor sleep, bloating, dull skin, low energy, even weight gain.

One simple shift, dinner a little earlier, can be powerful self-care for your body and hormones.

The Supplement No One Told You About: Creatine for Women

When we hear “creatine,” we think gym bros and bulky muscles.
But for women, it’s so much more.

Start with just 1–2g a day.
No loading. Just consistency.

✨ Boosts energy by supporting ATP, your body’s natural fuel
🧠 Improves focus, memory & brain fog
🦴 Supports bone density & lean muscle (especially post-35)
💡 Eases PMS & perimenopause fatigue

Women naturally have 70–80% less creatine than men and that gap matters more than we think.

Taking creatine doesn’t bulk you up; it tones, strengthens, and supports lean muscle. It’s about resilience, inside and out.

“I feel off… but I don’t know why.”

It’s something I hear all the time. We look at hormones. Anxiety. Bloating. Brain fog.

And sometimes, the root is where no one expects, the lungs.

That v**e you only use when you’re anxious?
It’s not harmless. It disrupts estrogen, spikes inflammation, and messes with your mood, sleep, and cycles.

No one told you this.
But now you know.

Your breath matters.
Your hormones matter.
And this isn’t just about lungs, it’s about your whole body.
