Namaste, Your reports clearly show severe nutritional deficiencies along with hormonal imbalance, which is the main reason behind your low energy, brain fog, mood changes, hair fall, and delayed periods. Simple understanding: Very low Vitamin D and B12 → causes fatigue, poor concentration, low mood, weak immunity. Low iron and hemoglobin → leads to dizziness, hair fall, dark circles, weakness. Low DHEAS & SHBG + delayed periods → indicates hormonal imbalance, often worsened by poor nutrition. Your restrictive diet is a major contributing factor. This condition is reversible, but requires proper correction. Simple measures that may help: Start Vitamin D, B12, and iron supplements under medical guidance (this is essential). Improve diet quality – include protein (dal, paneer if suitable), nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables. Add iron-rich foods like beetroot, dates, jaggery, green leafy vegetables. Take morning sunlight (15–20 mins daily). Avoid skipping meals – eat regular, balanced meals. Reduce processed foods and excess sugar. Start light exercise/yoga to support hormones. Focus on sleep quality, not just duration. With proper correction, your energy, mood, skin, hair, and periods can improve significantly over time. Ayurvedic medicines that may support your recovery include: Lohasava – traditionally used to support iron levels and improve energy. Ashwagandha Lehyam – sometimes used to improve strength, reduce fatigue, and support overall nourishment. Consult me for more advice and suggestions on the above medicines.
