Understand Your Hormones, Transform Your Well-Being
Your hormones affect your energy, mood, fertility, metabolism, and long-term health. At Dietique Care, we help you understand your hormones and support them through personalised nutrition and lifestyle changes.
Estrogen
Estrogen supports menstrual health, fertility, bone strength, mood, and skin. Its levels shift naturally through puberty, pregnancy, and menopause.
Estrogen & Endometriosis
When tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, estrogen can worsen pain and inflammation.
Common symptoms:
- Severe cramps
- Pelvic pain
- Pain during intercourse
- Infertility
Nutrition and lifestyle changes can help reduce inflammation and support hormone balance.
Estrogen & Menopause
Falling estrogen during menopause leads to:
Changes:
- Irregular periods
- Bone loss
- Slower metabolism
- Cholesterol changes
- Vaginal dryness
Symptoms:
- Hot flashes
- Sleep issues
- Mood changes
- Weight gain
- Low libido
Balanced nutrition helps ease symptoms and support bone, heart, and metabolic health.
Prolactin
Prolactin regulates breast development, milk production, and menstrual cycles.
High prolactin (hyperprolactinemia) can cause:
- Irregular or missed periods
- Infertility
- Unexpected breast milk production
- Low libido
It may be linked to stress, medications, thyroid issues, or pituitary disorders. Nutrition therapy supports recovery along with medical care.
Testosterone
A key hormone for both men and women.
In Men:
Supports muscle strength, bone density, libido, mood, and sperm production.
Low levels cause fatigue, low libido, mood changes, and muscle loss.
In Women:
Supports bone strength, mood, muscle tone, and sexual health.
Low levels cause fatigue and low libido.
High levels (as in PCOS) may cause acne, hair thinning, or excess facial/body hair.
Balanced nutrition and lifestyle changes help regulate testosterone naturally.
