Functional Medicine for Women: Fixing Hormones, PMS, Acne & Weight Gain Naturally.

By Midas Wellness Hub

Women today experience more hormonal imbalances than any previous generation. Stress, irregular sleep cycles, work pressures, nutrient deficiencies, and modern food habits have created a perfect storm for hormonal disruption. As a result, issues like PMS, acne, bloating, anxiety, hair fall, low energy, and stubborn weight gain have become extremely common.

While conventional approaches often treat each symptom separately, they rarely address why the symptoms occur in the first place. Functional medicine offers a deeper, more scientific approach. It looks at the interconnectedness of the body gut, hormones, skin, liver, metabolism and mental health to identify the root cause.

At Midas Wellness Hub, we merge functional medicine with advanced clinical treatments to not only correct internal imbalances but also accelerate visible results. This powerful combination supports women holistically, helping them heal naturally, sustainably and effectively.

What Is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is a personalised, root-cause-based approach that looks beyond symptoms and focuses on the complete functioning of the body. Instead of asking “How do we suppress this symptom?”, functional medicine asks:

“What is causing this imbalance, and how do we correct it at the source?”

This method acknowledges that symptoms like PMS, acne, or weight gain are not isolated issues but reflections of deeper disruptions in the body such as:

• Gut imbalance
• Stress hormone elevation
• Insulin resistance
• Vitamin deficiencies
• Thyroid dysfunction
• Chronic inflammation
• Poor liver detox
• Sleep irregularity
• High toxin exposure

By correcting these internal triggers, functional medicine helps the body regain its natural rhythm and balance.

The Hormone Gut Skin Weight Connection

Women often see multiple specialists for multiple problems, but the body does not work in compartments. Hormones, gut health, skin and weight are deeply linked.

1. The Gut’s Role in Hormone Balance

The gut contains special bacteria known as the estrobolome, which regulate estrogen metabolism. When gut bacteria are imbalanced:

• PMS worsens
• Periods become painful
• Mood swings increase
• Acne flares
• Water retention rises
• Weight accumulates on hips, thighs and lower stomach

This is why functional medicine always begins with gut assessment and healing.

2. How Hormones Affect Skin

Hormonal fluctuations especially high androgens, elevated cortisol, progesterone deficiency or estrogen dominance lead to:

• Cystic acne
• Chin and jawline breakouts
• Inflammation
• Greasy T-zone
• Uneven texture

Topical creams alone cannot fix hormonal acne. The root imbalance must be corrected.

3. How Hormones Affects Weight

Hormonal fat is not caused by overeating but by internal dysregulation:

• High cortisol increases belly fat
• Insulin resistance causes lower abdominal and back fat
• Estrogen dominance stores fat on hips and thighs
• Low progesterone causes bloating and water retention
• Thyroid imbalances slow metabolism

Unless the hormonal reason is corrected, weight loss remains slow and frustrating.

Common Hormonal Patterns in Women

Functional medicine most frequently identifies:

• Estrogen Dominance
• Heavy periods, PMS, breast tenderness, mood swings, acne, lower-body weight gain.
• Progesterone Deficiency
• Anxiety, insomnia, irritability during PMS, short cycles, infertility struggles.
• High Cortisol
• Belly fat, sugar cravings, skin breakouts, hair thinning, fatigue, poor sleep.
• Insulin Resistance
• PCOS symptoms, weight gain, dark patches, facial hair, acne.
• Thyroid Dysfunction
• Hair fall, weight gain, dry skin, cold hands/feet, irregular periods.

Each of these requires a personalised plan not a generic diet or symptomatic medication.

The Functional Medicine Approach at Midas Wellness Hub

Our approach is structured, scientific and deeply personalised.

Step 1: Detailed Assessment

We evaluate:

• Menstrual patterns
• PMS intensity
• Acne history
• Gut symptoms
• Weight patterns
• Sleep quality
• Stress levels
• Emotional state
• Dietary habits
• Family medical history

This helps us recognise patterns that conventional assessments often miss.

Step 2: Clinical Testing (If Needed)

Tests may include:

• Full thyroid panel
• Vitamin D, B12, iron and magnesium levels
• Insulin resistance markers
• Inflammation markers
• Female hormone profile
• Liver function
• Gut health assessment

Testing allows precise tailoring of treatment plans.

Step 3: Gut Healing Protocol

Since gut imbalance triggers hormonal issues, we correct:

• Acidity
• Constipation
• Bloating
• Food sensitivities
• Bacterial imbalance
• Inflammation

A balanced gut supports healthy hormones, clear skin, better mood and easier weight loss.

Step 4: Internal Hormone Balancing Through Nutrition

We use food as a natural hormone regulator.

Foods that Stabilise Hormones

• Cruciferous veggies for estrogen balance
• Omega-3 foods to reduce inflammation
• High-fibre foods for detox
• Protein-rich meals for insulin balance
• Colorful fruits for antioxidants
• Healthy fats for hormone formation

Foods That Disrupt Hormones

• Excess sugar
• Refined flour
• Deep-fried foods
• Excess caffeine
• Processed foods
• Hormone-heavy dairy (for acne/PCOS cases)

Nutrition is personalised, not one-size-fits-all.

Step 5: Liver Detox Support

The liver processes hormones. When overloaded, PMS, acne, and weight gain worsen.

We support liver detox through:

• Hydration
• Herbal support
• Anti-inflammatory foods
• Fiber-rich meals
• Minimising toxin exposure
• Light movement

This step is crucial for women with estrogen dominance.

Step 6: Cortisol & Stress Regulation

We integrate:

• Sleep correction
• Breathing practices
• Blood sugar stabilisation
• Adaptogenic nutritional support
• Lifestyle redesign

Balancing cortisol improves PMS, acne, mood, metabolism and sleep quality.

Step 7: Personalised Supplementation

Supplements are recommended only after clinical assessment.

They may include:

• Vitamin D
• Magnesium
• Omega-3
• Zinc
• Probiotics
• B12
• Iron
• Inositol (for PCOS)

They are prescribed only by our clinical experts not taken blindly.

Where Clinical Treatments Help: Accelerating Visible Results

Functional medicine heals internally, but clinical treatments speed up external, visible improvements.

Midas Wellness Hub uses evidence-based therapies that complement internal healing.

1. Clinical Treatments for Hormonal Acne

Hormonal acne requires both internal balance and skin therapies.

AI Facial

Deep cleansing, exfoliation and hydration support sensitive, inflamed skin.

Skin Boosters

Improve barrier strength and reduce inflammation.

PRP & Microneedling

Reduce acne marks, pigmentation and uneven texture once active acne reduces.

Why this works:
Internal healing reduces acne triggers; clinical treatments speed up skin recovery and clarity.

2. Cryo Fat Freezing for Hormonal Weight Gain

Cryo is effective for:

• Belly fat
• Lower belly fat from insulin issues
• Back fat
• Thigh fat from estrogen dominance
• Arm fat

Why this works:
When hormones cause stubborn fat, diet alone is not enough. Cryo accelerates inch loss while functional medicine prevents regaining.

3. HIFU Body Sculpting for PCOS and Post-Weight Loss Firmness

HIFU helps with:

• Lower belly shaping
• Waistline definition
• Thigh contouring
• Skin tightening
• Firming loose abdominal skin

This supports women with PCOS, thyroid issues or post-weight-loss laxity.

4. Hair Fall Treatments

Hormonal hair fall requires a dual approach:

• Internal Support
• Correcting thyroid imbalance, iron deficiency, vitamin D deficiency and other hormonal triggers.
• Clinical Treatments
• PRP
• Hair stimulation therapies

Together, they reduce hair fall and support regrowth.

5. Detoxifying and Anti-Inflammatory Treatments

For women with PMS, bloating, puffiness and water retention, we use:

• Lymphatic drainage
• Anti-inflammatory facials
• Gut relief therapies

These enhance the internal detox and reduce PMS discomfort.

6. Stress-Relief & Relaxation Therapies

High cortisol influences:

• Acne
• Belly fat
• Cravings
• Mood swings
• PMS
• Hair fall

Relaxation therapies help correct stress pathways and improve hormonal stability.

How Internal Healing + Treatments Work Together
