Cortisol – When cortisol levels that are too high or too low, it can mimic symptoms of moderate fatigue, sleep disturbances and weight gain. When your levels are outside this ideal range, the body’s normal repair and restoration that would usually occur during sleep can’t exist properly. Without this ability, your body is not able to receive any of the benefits from optimizing your hormones.
DHEA – DHEA is known as the “mother of all sex hormones” and affects your sense of well being and metabolism. Low DHEA can be found during menopause, which slows sex hormone production and metabolism. This can help with weight gain that is expected in middle age.
Vitamin B12 – low levels effect energy, metabolism and the quality of your hair,nails, skin, blood and sensory nervous system.
Vitamin D – Low Vitamin D levels can result in low energy, slower metabolism, sleep problems and poor calcium absorption resulting in inadequate bone health.
