Weight gain around the middle
Particularly when it arrives without a change in diet, and sits differently to how you have gained before.

What it is
Hormones play an important role in a woman’s overall health — from periods, weight and energy levels to mood, sleep, cravings and reproductive health. Concerns such as PCOS/PCOD, irregular periods, unexplained weight changes, frequent cravings, disturbed sleep and stress are increasingly becoming common areas of concern.
At Know Health Diet Clinic, our Hormonal Health & PCOS/PCOD Management Programme focuses on understanding your individual body, lifestyle and nutritional requirements rather than following a one-size-fits-all diet.
Our personalised approach focuses on balanced nutrition according to your body and health needs, supporting healthy and sustainable weight management, managing cravings and unhealthy eating patterns, improving overall food quality and meal timing, supporting better sleep, energy and lifestyle habits, and creating practical lifestyle changes that you can maintain long term.
We believe hormonal health is supported by consistent nutrition, lifestyle habits, physical activity, adequate sleep and stress management. Where medical treatment is required, our nutrition programme can work alongside your doctor’s care.

The classic under-active thyroid triad, often alongside constipation and a puffy face.
An inverted cortisol curve. You feel most capable at 11pm and cannot start without caffeine.
Often oestrogen dominance relative to progesterone, and closely tied to gut clearance and fibre.
Mood, bloating and cravings through the luteal phase, frequently a magnesium and B6 picture.
Almost always a blood-sugar rhythm problem rather than a willpower one.
Drag the row. Everything here is a normal Indian kitchen staple — the change is in the amounts and the order.
