Hormonal clues after 30: when fatigue, irritability and excess weight are not a coincidence

After 30 years, our bodies begin to experience gradual changes that are not always noticeable at first glance. Often they manifest themselves in the form of fatigue, irritability or extra pounds. But it is not always "just age". This can be a consequence of hormonal imbalance, and it is important to pay attention to it in time.

So, together with therapist-endocrinologist Natalia Lyashenko, LIGA.Life analyzes which hormones are malfunctioning and how to notice it without taking all the tests in the world at once.

What hormones most often fail after 30?

After the age of 30, physiological changes in hormone secretion can occur, the doctor explains. These changes affect both women and men and affect mood, energy levels, and reproductive capabilities:

— For women, these are primarily estrogen, progesterone, and anti-Mullerian hormone. A decrease in the levels of these hormones can manifest as irregular menstrual cycles, premature menopause, and decreased fertility.

In men, testosterone levels begin to decline as early as age 30, especially in those who are overweight.
