Balancing Hormones Naturally: A Functional Medicine Approach for Women

If you’re struggling with symptoms like PMS, fatigue, brain fog, low mood, bloating, or irregular periods — your hormones may be trying to tell you something.

At The Movement Medic, we support women in Belfast and across Northern Ireland with personalised, root-cause care to help you balance hormones naturally and feel like yourself again.

Why Hormonal Imbalance Happens

Hormonal shifts are a normal part of life, especially during your 30s, 40s and into perimenopause. But imbalances can be made worse by:

• Chronic stress

• Poor gut health

• Environmental toxins

• Overtraining or under-fuelling

• Inflammation and autoimmune conditions

Many women are told their symptoms are “just part of being a woman” or are offered hormonal contraceptives without deeper investigation. But there is another way.

Functional Medicine: A Holistic Approach to Women's Hormones

As a consultant rheumatologist and functional medicine doctor based in Belfast, Dr Kerry Aston uses advanced laboratory testing and personalised care plans to uncover the root causes of hormone issues.

We work with women experiencing:

• PMS, PMDD or irregular cycles

• Perimenopause symptoms

• Thyroid or autoimmune hormone issues (like Hashimoto’s)

• Fatigue, low libido, brain fog, or stubborn weight gain

• Hormone-driven conditions like endometriosis or PCOS

Our Functional Medicine Approach Includes:

• Comprehensive hormone testing (including DUTCH test, thyroid panels, oestrogen metabolism)

• Nutritional therapy to support detox pathways, blood sugar, and gut health

• Stress resilience and sleep support

• Movement and training guidance for your cycle or life stage

• Supplements tailored to your needs — not a one-size-fits-all approach
