The nine signs include menstrual cycle changes, morning joint stiffness, slow post-exercise recovery, hair loss, skin pigmentation, afternoon sleepiness, disturbed sleep, forgetfulness, and stubborn belly fat. Causes may include perimenopause, thyroid problems, PCOS, vitamin deficiencies, insomnia, stress, or insulin resistance.
