Namaste, Your reports clearly show multiple deficiencies (Vitamin D, B12, iron) along with some hormonal imbalance (low DHEAS, low SHBG, delayed periods). These can together explain your symptoms. Simple understanding: Low B12 + iron can cause brain fog, low mood, dizziness, hair fall, dark circles. Very low Vitamin D can lead to fatigue, poor immunity, and low energy. Hormonal imbalance can contribute to delayed periods and pigmentation. So this is not one problem—it is a combined nutritional + hormonal imbalance. Simple measures that may help: First priority is to correct deficiencies (this is very important). Take B12, Vitamin D, and iron supplements as advised by a doctor. Include foods like green vegetables, beetroot, dates, nuts, seeds, milk, ghee. Get morning sunlight exposure daily (15–20 mins) for Vitamin D. Maintain regular meals and good digestion. Do light exercise or walking daily. Ensure proper sleep routine, not just duration but quality. Reduce sugar and processed foods, as they worsen hormonal imbalance. With proper correction, symptoms like brain fog, mood issues, skin changes, and hair fall can improve significantly. 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. Along with Ayurveda, nutritional correction is essential in your case. Consult me for more advice and suggestions on the above medicines.
