5 Signs Your Hormones May Be Out of Balance

And how the Marsden Centre can help you restore your energy, mood, and vitality

Hormones play a powerful role in how we feel—every single day. When they’re even slightly out of balance, the effects can ripple across your body and mind. Whether you’re navigating a life transition, recovering from cancer treatment, or simply feeling “off,” here are five signs your hormones might be contributing:

1. Tired but Wired

You feel exhausted but have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep.  
This could point to a disrupted cortisol rhythm—your body’s stress hormone that helps regulate your energy patterns.

2. Mood Swings or Low Mood

You feel anxious, irritable, or emotionally flat—especially around your cycle (or even without one).
Estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones all play a key role in regulating mood, memory, and mental clarity.

3. Weight Gain, Especially Around the Midsection

You’re gaining weight despite eating the same—or struggling to lose it.  
This can be linked to insulin resistance, changes in estrogen/testosterone levels, or adrenal stress.

4. Low Libido or Vaginal Dryness

You feel disconnected from your sexual self.
These symptoms are common in perimenopause, menopause, and post-cancer recovery, and they’re often overlooked.

5. Brain Fog and Fatigue

You’re dragging through the day and can’t seem to think clearly.
Thyroid imbalance, cortisol dysfunction, or estrogen decline may be affecting your cognitive and physical stamina.

🌀 It’s not just one hormone—it’s your whole system

At the Marsden Centre, we take an integrative approach. That means we look at your gut, metabolism, thyroid, adrenals, and lifestyle—all of which influence your hormones.

You deserve care that sees the full picture.

Hormones After Cancer: What You Should Know

Understanding changes to your hormonal health—and how to support recovery

Cancer treatment can save lives—but it can also profoundly impact your hormones. Whether you’re in recovery, managing long-term effects, or navigating hormone-related symptoms for the first time, you’re not alone—and you’re not imagining it.

🔄 Why Hormones Change After Cancer

Treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery can disrupt hormone production, metabolism, and signaling. These effects are especially common in cancers related to:

• Breast or ovarian cancer

• Prostate or testicular cancer

• Thyroid cancer

• Any cancer treated with systemic therapies like chemo or immunotherapy

You may experience hormonal changes if your ovaries, testes, thyroid, or adrenal glands are affected—or if treatment alters how your body clears or processes hormones.

🧠 With

• Fatigue, low mood, or anxiety

• Hot flashes or night sweats

• Weight changes or muscle loss

• Low libido or sexual discomfort

• Brain fog or poor memory

• Insomnia or unrefreshing sleep

These changes can occur months or even years after treatment, and they’re often under-recognized.
