Insulin resistance & missed Periods.

Most people think insulin resistance is only about diabetes or weight gain.

But insulin resistance may also affect:
• hormones
• ovulation
• menstrual cycles
• fertility
• cravings
• energy levels
• brain fog
• inflammation

Some women may experience:
🔹 missed periods
🔹 irregular cycles
🔹 fatigue after meals
🔹 strong carbohydrate cravings
🔹 difficulty losing weight

— even when their blood sugar tests appear “normal.”

The body’s metabolic system and reproductive hormones are deeply connected.

Sometimes missed periods are not “just hormones” alone — metabolism, insulin signalling, stress, sleep, and nutrition may all play a role.

Still struggling with bloating, gas, diarrhea or constipation after gastric bypass surgery?

These symptoms are not always “just part of the surgery.” Conditions such as SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth (IMO), malabsorption and nutrient deficiencies may be contributing.

A comprehensive assessment, including Hydrogen Methane Breath Testing, may help uncover the root cause and guide a more targeted treatment plan.

You don’t have to live with digestive discomfort.

The food we eat is more than just for energy. Nutrients in food are essential to hormones, metabolism, cellular, activities, immunity etc.

Here is an example of how zinc works in our body. In NZ, I understand that most soil is low in zinc. thus it is very likely foods that are supposed to be high in zinc may not be. Instead of taking a supplement, consider getting a blood test done for zinc. It will need to be paid for privately (you can order online through my website) and it is good to get plasma zinc to plasma copper done (they work against each other.
