Understanding Hormone Imbalances

Hormones are powerful chemical messengers that control nearly every function in your body — from mood and energy to weight, fertility, and sleep. When hormones fall out of balance, the effects can be wide-ranging and sometimes difficult to recognise.

At Nuvivo Health, we provide specialist hormone blood tests that help uncover hidden imbalances and guide you towards better health. If you’ve been struggling with unexplained symptoms, hormone testing could provide the answers you need.


Signs of a Hormone Imbalance

Because hormones affect so many systems, symptoms can often be mistaken for other conditions. Common signs include:

  • Constant fatigue or lack of energy.

  • Mood swings, anxiety, or low mood.

  • Sudden changes in weight (gain or loss).

  • Sleep problems or restless nights.

  • Changes in skin or hair (acne, thinning, dryness).

  • Irregular menstrual cycles or fertility issues.

  • Reduced sex drive in both men and women.

If any of these sound familiar, a blood test may help pinpoint the cause.


Key Hormones to Test

At Nuvivo Health, our hormone panels include:

  • Thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4) – control metabolism, energy, and mood.

  • Testosterone – important for muscle, energy, libido, and mood (in both men and women).

  • Oestradiol & progesterone – regulate female reproductive health, menstrual cycles, and menopause.

  • Cortisol – the “stress hormone”, affecting sleep, mood, and weight.

  • LH & FSH – linked to fertility, ovulation, and reproductive function.

By analysing these markers together, we get a clear picture of how your hormones are working.


Why Hormone Balance Matters

Balanced hormones are essential for:

  • Stable mood and mental health – imbalances are linked to anxiety and depression.

  • Healthy weight – thyroid and insulin resistance can cause sudden changes.

  • Energy and sleep – hormones control how well your body restores itself.

  • Reproductive health – fertility and menstrual cycles rely on hormone regulation.

  • Long-term wellbeing – imbalances can increase risks of osteoporosis, diabetes, and heart disease.

Without testing, many people treat symptoms instead of addressing the root cause.
