Hormones and Fatigue Naturopathic Support
You remember what it felt like to wake up clear-headed, energetic, productive… like yourself. But lately you feel constantly “on edge” and exhausted at the same time — relying on willpower, snacks or caffeine just to get through the day. Maybe your cycle has changed — lighter, heavier, irregular, or missing altogether. Or perhaps you’re dealing with brain fog, weight gain, temperature swings, anxiety, hair changes, or a deep tiredness that even long sleep doesn’t fix.
These shifts rarely happen overnight. Hormones and energy systems usually unravel slowly: a period of stress here, a phase of disrupted sleep there, years of pushing through emotional or physical load… until your body simply can’t compensate anymore. This isn’t “just stress,” “just perimenopause,” or “just getting older.” It’s a sign that your hormonal, metabolic, and nervous-system pathways are working harder than they should.
My role is to help you understand what has shifted beneath the surface and why your body no longer feels vital. Through evidence-aware naturopathic care, I help rebalance your hormones, energy, metabolism and stress response so you can feel clear, grounded and energised again.
Why These Conditions Are Interconnected
Hormones and energy systems are deeply interwoven. Thyroid hormones regulate metabolic rate, mitochondrial activity, temperature control, cognitive clarity, menstrual regularity and overall vitality. The adrenal glands influence cortisol, stress resilience, blood sugar balance, inflammation and sleep. Ovarian hormones shape mood, temperature, cycle rhythm, bone strength and metabolic function.
Nutrient depletion reduces cellular energy; gut or liver dysfunction can impair hormone clearance; inflammation affects thyroid conversion; and chronic stress disrupts ovulation, cortisol rhythms and nervous-system stability.
When one area falters, another is often affected. Addressing these foundations helps restore clarity, energy, hormonal balance and long-term resilience.
Alexandra’s Approach to Hormones and Fatigue
I begin by identifying what’s driving your symptoms, whether they’re hormonal, metabolic, inflammatory, immune-related, nutritional, neuroendocrine, or environmental. Many women with fatigue or hormonal imbalance have been told “your tests are normal,” even when deeper patterns are clearly present.
Once we understand your underlying patterns, I create a personalised treatment plan using therapeutic nutrition, targeted nutrients, herbal medicine and evidence-aware lifestyle strategies. The goal is to support healthy thyroid and adrenal function, strengthen ovarian hormone balance, restore cellular energy, regulate cortisol, optimise gut–liver pathways, calm immune activation and stabilise your nervous system so your body can return to a healthier rhythm.
My multi-system assessment explores:
- Thyroid function and hormone conversion (TSH, T4→T3, reverse T3, thyroid antibodies)
- Ovarian hormone balance across the cycle, including progesterone patterns
- Cortisol rhythm and HPA-axis function
- Blood sugar, insulin and metabolic health
- Mitochondrial function and cellular energy production
- Inflammatory and immune patterns that affect hormones and vitality
- Nutrient deficiencies and oxidative stress burden
- Iron status, ferritin and oxygen transport
- Gut health, absorption, microbiome balance and GI-driven inflammation
- Liver pathways involved in hormone clearance and thyroid hormone conversion
- Nervous-system regulation (fight-or-flight dominance, vagal tone)
- Sleep quality, circadian rhythm and melatonin output
- Environmental drivers (mould, endocrine disruptors, chemical exposures)
- Trauma load and autonomic dysregulation
- Cardiometabolic markers (lipids, blood pressure, metabolic risk)
- Temperature regulation patterns
- Reproductive red flags (POI markers, HA triggers, ovarian suppression)
How I Work With This Category
When you’re living with hormonal chaos or deep fatigue, it’s easy to feel dismissed or misunderstood. My process is designed to bring clarity, confidence, and structure back to your health journey.
Comprehensive Assessment
We begin with a detailed consultation exploring symptoms, hormonal history, stress load, sleep patterns, metabolic signs, environmental factors and cycle health. When needed, I collaborate with your GP for targeted thyroid testing, iron studies, reproductive hormones, metabolic panels, inflammatory markers or imaging. Functional tests such as DUTCH, microbiome analysis or nutrient panels may be explored if they provide clearer direction.
Investigation & Personalised Protocol Development
Once we identify your drivers, I create a tailored plan addressing hormones, energy systems, metabolism, inflammation, sleep, and stress patterns. Each recommendation is grounded in physiology and aligned with your lifestyle and capacity.
Implementation, Review & Support
You’ll receive structured guidance as you begin your plan. At each consultation we review progress, refine treatment and adjust strategies as your body adapts and recovers.
Long-Term Resilience
Many women notice improvements in mood, energy, sleep, cognition or cycle rhythm within 4–8 weeks. Deeper changes in thyroid balance, mitochondrial function, cortisol rhythm or ovarian hormones often develop over several months. Ongoing support helps consolidate progress and prevent relapse by strengthening the systems that maintain long-term wellbeing.
Some Hormone and Fatigue Conditions Alex Supports:
Hormonal and fatigue related conditions present differently for every woman, yet many stem from similar underlying drivers. These include thyroid dysfunction, adrenal/HPA-axis dysregulation, ovarian hormone fluctuations, mitochondrial stress, metabolic imbalance, nutrient depletion, inflammation, gut–liver dysfunction, and environmental triggers.
Addressing these foundations can restore clarity, energy, hormonal rhythm, metabolic stability, and long term resilience.
Thyroid Conditions
Low thyroid function (including Hypothyroidism, Hyperthryoidism, Hashimoto’s and Graves Disease) can influence your energy, mood, weight, focus and menstrual cycle. When the you thyroid function and how natural treatment can help restore balance.
Adrenal Fatigue / HPA-Axis Dysfunction
Tired but wired? Afternoon crashes? Feeling overwhelmed by even small stressors? Explore strategies that support cortisol rhythm, nervous-system stability, and deeper resilience.
Burnout
Losing motivation, patience and energy is a sign your body is struggling. Discover what’s driving your burnout and how gentle, evidence-aware support helps rebuild capacity.
Hypothalamic Amenorrhoea (HA)
Missing or suppressed periods are your body’s way of signaling overwhelm. Learn what’s shutting down ovulation and how targeted nourishment and stress repair help your cycle return.
Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI / POF)
Early hormonal decline can affect mood, sleep, fertility and wellbeing. Discover what’s influencing your ovarian function and how supportive strategies help restore balance.
Perimenopause & Menopause
Hot flushes, weight gain, mood changes and disrupted sleep aren’t something you have to “push through.” Learn what’s driving your symptoms and how natural treatment can ease your transition
The Link Between Adrenal Dysfunction and Endometriosis
Adrenal dysfunction, particularly in relation to cortisol imbalance, can play a significant role in the development and exacerbation of oestrogen-dependent conditions like endometriosis and adenomyosis. This blog post delves into
Understanding the Link Between Endometriosis and Thyroid Disorders
Endometriosis is a chronic condition that often coexists with thyroid disorders, particularly autoimmune thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease. This means that if you have endometriosis, it’s
