When "Normal" Labs Don't Explain How You Feel
Are you tired, stressed, or just not feeling like yourself anymore?
You’re Not Lazy. You’re Not Crazy. You’re Not Alone.
If you’re waking up already tired, feel like your mood is all over the place, and struggle to get a decent night’s sleep—even though nothing major has changed in your life—you’re not imagining it. Many women begin to experience subtle, confusing changes in their 30s and 40s that they don’t recognize as the early signs of hormonal shifts.
These changes often fly under the radar. Maybe your labs are “normal.” Maybe you’ve been told it’s just stress or aging. But you know something is off.
Let’s talk about what might actually be going on.

So What's Going On?
As women move through their 30s and 40s, hormonal fluctuations start to become more significant—even if your cycle is still “regular.” This stage is often referred to as perimenopause, the transition leading up to menopause. But many women don’t realize these symptoms are hormonally driven until years into the process.
Here’s what might be affecting you:
Estrogen & Progesterone Imbalance
These are your primary female hormones. As you get closer to menopause, progesterone declines first, which can make you feel anxious, moody, or have difficulty sleeping. This typically starts around ages 35-40 and this decline can occur 5-10 years before menopause. On top of that your estrogen levels fluctuate; this can create a storm of emotional and physical symptoms—even if your period hasn't skipped a beat. If you’re having symptoms, but are told your hormones are “normal”, they likely aren’t normal. It is important to also consider the es
Coritsol Dysregulation (Stress Hormone)
When you're juggling work, family, and life—and your body is dealing with hormone fluctuations—your stress response can go into overdrive. High cortisol can lead to fatigue, poor sleep, belly weight gain, and even worsen hormonal imbalances. Your adrenals are the foundation to all of your hormones, and if they are over producing (or under producing) this can leave you feeling symptomatic as well.
Thyroid Function
Many women in perimenopause also begin to experience subtle changes in thyroid function. Even a slight imbalance can cause fatigue, mood changes, brain fog, and weight gain. Unfortunately, traditional labs often miss these nuances, as they are often only checking a TSH, or not considering optimal lab values.

If you’re feeling off, trust that inner voice. This is not something you have to “push through” or ignore. This is just likely something you are going to have to go outside of traditional medicine to have addressed
