Feeling sluggish, low energy may be indicator of change in hormones, nutrients needed

MASON, Ohio (WKRC) - If this weather has you feeling kind of sleepy and sluggish, it might not actually be the weather.

This time of year, a lot of us blame the weather and lack of sunshine when we really may be missing nutrients or our hormones may be out of balance.



Dr. Amy Brenner is a women's health specialist who says don't underestimate that you may need to add a few things to your diet or even be in need of a hormone check. These things can make a big difference in everything from energy to your skin to even your mood and libido.



Her top picks for supplements include fish oil supplements, calcium and vitamin D levels. She says check with your doctor or women's health specialist to see if you need these supplements. She also says to ask about hormones that may need to be measured and what else you may be doing to moderate your lifestyle.
