Hormones

Hormone imbalances can cause various health problems such as irregular periods, sluggish metabolism, obesity, diabetes, chronic fatigue, brain fog, sexual dysfunction, osteoporosis, hypertension, poor memory and more.  hormones

Conventional treatments for hormonal imbalances typically include synthetic hormone replacement therapies such as birth control pills, insulin injections, thyroid medications and more. Unfortunately, for most individuals suffering from hormonal disorders, relying on synthetic dry therapy leads to more problems.

It makes people dependent on taking prescription drugs for the rest of their lives in order to keep symptoms under control.

It simply masks the patient’s symptoms but doesn’t solve them, which means that the patient can continue to develop abnormalities in other areas of the body while the disorder progresses.

It potentially causes a higher risk for serious side effects, such as stroke, osteoporosis, anxiety, reproductive problems, cancer, etc.

Is it possible to balance hormones naturally? The good news is, yes, in many cases, it is.

We start our patients' hormone healing journey with functional testing to identify which hormones are out of balance and WHY, or the root cause of their hormone dysfunction.  

There can be many underlying causes of hormone imbalance:

• Chronic inflammation

• Methylation impairments like MTHFR

• Nutrient deficiencies

• Stress overload

• Toxin exposure

Once the root cause has been identified, we outline a personalized plan to help bring the hormones back in balance.  We always start a personalized hormone-balancing treatment plan with functional lifestyle and nutrition strategies.  Common therapies used to balance hormones also may include vitamin and mineral supplementation, IV therapy, and herbal medicine.
