5 Signs Hormone Imbalance Could Be Behind Your Symptoms

You’ve been feeling off lately—low energy, mood swings, unexpected weight gain, or irregular cycles. You’re not alone. Sometimes, these signals are more than just “normal stress.” They could be hints your hormones are out of balance. At Anew Health and Vitality, we help you dig into the root causes—not just mask symptoms.

Here are five red flags your hormones may need attention:

1. Persistent fatigue & low motivation
If you’re dragging through your days, even after a full night’s sleep, hormones like thyroid, cortisol, or estrogen may be playing a role.

2. Unexplained weight changes (especially stubborn weight gain)
You’re “doing all the things” – eating well, moving your body – yet the scale creeps upward. Hormonal imbalances (especially insulin, thyroid, or sex hormones) can make weight loss much harder.

3. Mood swings, irritability, or brain fog
Hormones affect your nervous system. Fluctuations in estrogen, progesterone, or cortisol can lead to anxiety, depression, or cloudy thinking.

4. Irregular cycles, heavy bleeding, or menopausal symptoms
Skipping periods, heavy bleeding, hot flashes, and night sweats—these are all signals your reproductive hormones may be out of sync.

5. Sleep disturbances & low libido
Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or a drop in sex drive can be tied to hormonal shifts (especially around perimenopause or thyroid changes).

What you can do now

  • Track your symptoms. Keep a journal of what you feel day-to-day (energy, mood, cycles, appetite)

  • Ask your provider for a broader hormone panel (not just one or two tests)

  • Pair medical care + lifestyle changes: diet, sleep, movement, stress management

  • Work with a practitioner who listens—not someone rushing from patient to patient


If you recognize any of these signs in yourself, don’t wait. At Anew Health and Vitality, we take time to listen, evaluate your full picture, and build a plan with you—so you can feel like yourself again. Call for an appointment to begin your hormone journey.
