Namaste, Your reports and symptoms clearly indicate a combined nutritional deficiency + hormonal imbalance, which is why you are experiencing multiple issues together. Simple understanding: Very low Vitamin D and B12 can cause brain fog, low mood, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and frequent infections. Low iron and hemoglobin can lead to dizziness, hair fall, weakness, and dark circles. Low DHEAS and SHBG with delayed periods suggest hormonal imbalance, often linked with nutrition and metabolism. Pigmentation around mouth and dull skin can be related to deficiency + hormonal changes. So your condition is reversible, but needs proper correction. Simple measures that may help: Start Vitamin D, B12, and iron supplementation under medical guidance (very important in your case). Include iron-rich foods (green vegetables, beetroot, dates, jaggery), along with vitamin C for absorption. If possible, include dairy or fortified foods for B12 (since vegetarian diet). Take morning sunlight (15–20 mins daily). Avoid skipping meals and maintain regular eating times. Reduce sugar and processed foods. Do light exercise/yoga to support hormones. Improve sleep quality (fixed timing, reduce screen time at night). With proper correction, you can see improvement in energy, mood, skin, hair, and menstrual cycle over time. Ayurvedic medicines that may support your condition include: Lohasava – traditionally used to support iron levels and improve energy. Shatavari Kalpa – sometimes used to support hormonal balance and nourishment. Consult me for more advice and suggestions on the above medicines.
