Hormone Check-In: What’s Normal

A Quick Hormone Check-In: What Changes Can Look Like by Age

Everyone’s experience is different—this checklist is meant to help you notice patterns, not diagnose.

In Your Early–Mid 20s

Hormone shifts at this stage are often subtle and easy to dismiss as stress or lifestyle-related. You might notice:

• Feeling more tired than you used to, even with sleep
• Increased anxiety or mood swings
• Breakouts or changes in skin texture
• Feeling bloated or inflamed more easily
• Slower recovery after workouts
• Cravings that feel harder to manage

Common thought: “I’m probably just stressed.”

In Your Late 20s–Early 30s

This is often when women start to notice clearer patterns—but still question whether it’s “normal.”

You might notice:

• Stubborn weight gain despite similar habits
• Feeling wired but tired
• PMS symptoms that feel more intense
• Changes in libido or motivation
• Brain fog or trouble focusing
• Skin looking dull, dry, or less resilient

Common thought: “I’m doing everything right—why do I feel off?”

In Your Mid–Late 30s

Hormone changes may become harder to ignore, especially during busy life stages.

You might notice:

• Energy dips that affect daily life
• Difficulty maintaining muscle tone
• More pronounced mood swings or irritability
• Sleep disruptions
• Increased sensitivity to stress
• Changes in cycle length or PMS patterns

Common thought: “This doesn’t feel like me anymore.”

When It Might Be Worth Looking Deeper

You don’t need to check every box to explore support. Many women seek insight when:

• Symptoms feel persistent rather than occasional
• Rest, nutrition, and stress management aren’t helping
• You want clarity—not guesswork—about what’s happening in your body

Blood work can help provide helpful insight into hormone levels and overall wellness, and can guide whether lifestyle support, peptides, or hormone therapy may be worth discussing.

If You’re Nodding Along…

Noticing these changes doesn’t mean something is wrong with you, but it may mean your body is asking for support.

At CosmetiCare, we offer medically supervised Wellness programs such as Peptides and Bio- Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). To see which one might be right for you, we have two options:

• Complimentary pre-consultations if you’re just starting to explore your options and
  want to ask questions or find out if you’re a potential candidate.
• Paid Wellness Consultations, which include lab work, personal treatment plans, and
  setting up your first treatment. Perfect if you’re ready to move forward! Labs are required 2 weeks prior to your Wellness Consultation, the cost of which is included in your consult fee. We’ll send you a lab slip that you can take to any convenient Quest Diagnostics location. Then we’ll see you in office to discuss your results and create a treatment plan!
