Is Your Hormonal Health Affecting Your Weight, Strength, or Libido?

Noticing Changes in Your Weight, Strength, or Libido?

Putting on weight despite a healthy lifestyle, feeling physically weaker, or experiencing a dip in sex drive are common concerns for many UK adults. While there are several possible explanations, did you know DHEA sulfate levels could contribute to these changes?

What’s the Link Between DHEA Sulfate and Your Body?

DHEA sulfate is vital for making sex hormones like oestrogen and testosterone. These hormones influence:

• Fat distribution and muscle mass
• Energy levels
• Libido and sexual health
• Bone strength

As we age, falling DHEA sulfate levels can play a role in increasing body fat, loss of muscle, and reduced desire.

Symptoms Suggesting a DHEA Sulfate Imbalance

• Stubborn weight gain (especially around the middle)
• Muscle weakness
• Loss of interest in sex
• Bone or joint aches
• Poor stress tolerance

How Can a Home Blood Test Kit Help?

With Mayfield Clinic’s DHEA Sulfate Home Blood Test Kit, you can quickly check your levels and make informed decisions. Our UK-based service delivers everything you need, with results in just one working day. Prefer face-to-face care? Book an in-clinic blood test instead.

Improving Your Hormonal Balance Naturally

• Resistance exercise (weights, yoga) to support muscle health
• Eating enough healthy fats (like avocados, olive oil, oily fish)
• Prioritising sleep
• Reducing alcohol intake
• Managing chronic stress with meditation or hobbies

Unexplained changes can sometimes be linked to medical conditions. Always consult a GP if you're worried. More on hormone balance here: NHS: Hormone Imbalances.
