5 Signs Your Body Is Asking for Help (That You Might Be Ignoring)
Life gets busy, especially for women juggling work, family, and everyday responsibilities. It’s easy to normalize feeling tired or “off,” to brush things aside, and push through the discomfort. But what if your body is trying to tell you something?
From fatigue to brain fog and more, certain symptoms though common, aren’t necessarily normal. They can be important indicators that something deeper is going on. At Vena Health + Wellness, we specialize in helping women decode these signs and feel better from the inside out.
Here are five subtle (but powerful) ways your body might be asking for help and how a personalized women’s health consult in Airdrie can provide clarity and support.
1. You’re Constantly Tired, No Matter How Much You Sleep
If you're waking up feeling just as exhausted as when you went to bed, it's time to pay attention. Chronic fatigue isn't just a product of a busy lifestyle, it can be tied to deeper issues like hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, stress load, or thyroid dysfunction.
While many women write off fatigue as “just life,” it’s often your body waving a red flag.
Common causes of fatigue we see in our Airdrie women’s health clinic include:
Low iron or B12 levels
Adrenal fatigue or cortisol dysregulation
Perimenopause and hormone shifts
Poor sleep quality from undiagnosed concerns
What helps: A consult allows us to look at your full picture, including lab work, symptoms, lifestyle, and history to create a plan that helps you get your energy back.
2. You Struggle With Brain Fog or Forgetfulness
Do you walk into a room and forget why you’re there? Struggle to focus or find the right word? Brain fog is frustrating—and often misunderstood.
This mental cloudiness can be tied to fluctuations in estrogen, cortisol, and even gut health. It’s common during perimenopause or postpartum, but that doesn’t mean you have to just live with it.
Brain fog can also stem from:
Sleep disturbances
Chronic stress
Blood sugar imbalances
Inflammation
What helps: A personalized assessment can help pinpoint what’s driving your fog—and create a path toward mental clarity.
3. Your Libido Has Dropped (and You’re Not Sure Why)
Low libido is more than a bedroom issue—it’s often a sign that your body is out of balance. Whether it’s due to stress, hormones, or emotional disconnection, a drop in sexual desire deserves attention.
For many women, libido changes coincide with:
Hormonal transitions (menopause, postpartum, etc.)
Low testosterone or estrogen
Pain or discomfort during intimacy
Body image concerns or mood shifts
At Vena, we approach libido concerns with compassion and without judgment. There is always a reason behind what you’re feeling.
What helps: Treatments like Plus90 can improve circulation and sensation, while hormone support and nervous system regulation can reignite confidence and connection.
4. Your Skin Doesn’t Look or Feel the Same
Skin is often a reflection of what’s happening internally. If you’ve noticed increased dryness, acne, dullness, or loss of elasticity, your body might be signaling inflammation, hormonal imbalance, or stress.
While topical treatments have their place, they don’t always address the root cause.
Internal factors that affect skin include:
Estrogen drops (impacting collagen production)
Blood sugar instability
Dehydration and poor absorption of nutrients
Chronic stress and cortisol overload
What helps: Options like Morpheus8 support collagen and skin texture externally, while internal support through a consult can address the deeper drivers of skin shifts.
5. You’re Dealing With Bladder Leaks or Pelvic Discomfort
Let’s normalize this: occasional leaks, pelvic heaviness, or discomfort during intimacy are common—but not normal. These are signs of pelvic floor dysfunction or tissue changes often tied to childbirth, aging, or hormone loss.
Too many women suffer in silence or assume nothing can be done.
Common signs of pelvic health changes include:
Leaking with coughing, laughing, or exercise
Vaginal dryness or burning
Feeling “disconnected” from your body
Sensation loss or pressure
What helps: Treatments like vTone and Plus90 are safe, non-invasive options to restore strength, circulation, and sensation. Your consult will help identify which approach is best for you.
