Fluctuating hormones after summer: why is September a critical month for women's health?

Summer is a time of freedom, dynamism and more outdoor movement. But with the arrival of September, the rhythm changes abruptly – back to work and school, shorter days, less sunlight and more stress. These factors affect not only mood, but also the hormonal balance of the female body. That is why autumn is often a critical period for women's health, when hormone-related symptoms can worsen.

How does the season affect women's hormones?

September is a month of transition that causes changes in biological rhythms:

• Reduced sunlight lowers vitamin D levels and can affect serotonin production, leading to fatigue and depressed mood.
  
• The increased stress of returning to an intense daily routine increases cortisol, which often "disturbs" the balance between estrogen and progesterone.
  
• Lower activity and changes in eating habits affect metabolism and can provoke hormonal fluctuations.
  
  

Symptoms that should not be underestimated

Hormonal imbalance often manifests itself in:

• irregular or painful periods
  
• mood swings and irritability
  
• fluid retention and swelling
  
• acne or other skin problems
  
• severe fatigue and lack of concentration

These symptoms may seem "normal" after the summer, but they are actually a signal that the body needs support.

Practical tips for maintaining hormonal balance in autumn

• Eating with a focus on whole foods
  Choose fiber-rich vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. Omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish, flaxseed, walnuts) are especially helpful for regulating inflammation and supporting hormones.
  
• Vitamin D and minerals
  Shorter days mean less natural synthesis of vitamin D. It is a good idea to consider taking supplements, as well as foods rich in this vitamin – eggs, oily fish, dairy products. Zinc and magnesium are also key for hormonal balance.
  
• Physical activity
  Even light exercise like yoga, walking, or Pilates can reduce stress, stimulate blood circulation, and help naturally regulate hormones.
  
• Quality sleep
  Hormones and sleep are directly linked. Restless or insufficient sleep leads to increased cortisol levels and an imbalance of estrogen and progesterone. So make sure you get at least 7–8 hours of rest.
  
• Stress management
  Practices such as meditation, breathing exercises, or simply taking time to rest help the nervous system recover and not overload the endocrine system.
