Teen Hormonal Health

Last weekend, our Naturopathic Team attended the Women’s Health Expert Forum: Menarche to Menopause.

One of the key topics was adolescent health, including the importance of recognising the menstrual cycle as a vital indicator of health during these formative years.

Tracking cycle length, bleeding, period pain and mood can help identify patterns and provide valuable insights into a young woman’s hormonal and overall wellbeing.

Mood changes can also emerge around puberty. When symptoms consistently worsen during the 1 – 2 weeks before a period, a hormonal contribution may be worth exploring.

Nutrition, sleep, regular movement and adequate intake of essential nutrients provide important foundations for energy, mood and stress resilience.

At Subiaco Naturopathic Clinic, we take the time to look at the bigger picture, including menstrual patterns, diet and lifestyle to support adolescents through this important stage of development.

PCOS Has a New Name

PCOS has been renamed PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome) recognising the whole-body nature of this condition.

Rather than only treating symptoms, our Naturopathic Clinicians seek to identify what are the underlying factors influencing hormone and metabolic health and why are the ovaries struggling.

Common drivers include:
✔️ Insulin resistance
✔️ Inflammation
✔️ Gut health
✔️ Thyroid dysfunction
✔️ Stress
✔️ Nutrient insufficiencies

We treat the whole person—not just the ovaries.

Visit our website to read our blogs on PMOS and the connection with gut health.

🤦‍♀️Brain Fog or Something More?😶‍🌫️
Understanding and Supporting Brain Health During Peri-Menopause

If you have ever struggled to recall a familiar name or felt mentally depleted by midday, you are not alone. For many women, the peri-menopausal transition brings noticeable changes in brain health and cognitive function. Many refer to this as to as “brain fog.”

Despite being one of the most frequently reported peri-menopausal symptoms, cognitive changes often go unrecognised and untreated in healthcare. Research suggests that up to two-thirds of women experience some degree of cognitive difficulty during menopause. The reassuring news is that for most women, these changes are subtle, temporary, and modifiable.

Understanding what is happening, and why, allows us to target the factors that matter most for protecting brain health during this pivotal life stage.

In our blog post, Eloise talks about brain health, Perimenopause, and hormonal fluctuations.

Some people are told their thyroid tests are “normal”, yet they still feel tired, sluggish, foggy or unable to lose weight. One often-overlooked reason is how well your body converts T4 (thyroxine) into the hormone T3 (active form).

In our latest blog post, Natalie Elliott BHSc (Comp. Med) AdvDipNat GCTerAdEd MHNAA talks about identifiable symptoms that your thyroid may not be performing at its best.
