Optimal Hormonal Balance

Many health conditions my have their roots in hormone balance. Hormones generally refer to sex hormones (including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone), thyroid hormone, and adrenal hormones.

Some common conditions that may be improved with balancing these three hormonal systems include:

  • Irregular periods
  • Absence of menstruation
  • Heavy or painful periods
  • Fertility
  • Infertility
  • Perimenopausal symptoms: hot flash, night sweats, mood changes, vaginal dryness
  • Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
  • Endometriosis
  • Fibroids
  • Cycle irregularities following birth control use
  • Fatigue or chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Insomnia
  • Brain fog or memory issues
  • Low libido
  • Weight gain/trouble losing weight
  • Acne
  • Mood disorders

A real-time look at your hormone levels. To properly and accurately determine how to best help you achieve your optimal state of hormonal health, we will assess your hormone levels and make recommendations based on both your symptoms and lab results.

Everything is connected. When addressing hormones and underlying hormonal issues, it’s important to recognize the interconnectedness of these three systems and to the body as a whole. The health of your hormones is both a reflection of and a cause of the state of your health. Hormones affect your overall well-being, how you age, your quality of life and your ability to prevent disease.

The winter blues hit everyone differently. You mig The winter blues hit everyone differently. You might find yourself looking to food or sleep for comfort while the weather changes your sleep and mood.

While you can’t change the weather, here’s some proactive steps you can take to battle the blues: ❄️

🥕 Eat Your Veggies. Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean you need to eat heavy, high fat processed foods. Explore recipes like hearty vegetable soups, roasted vegetables, and omega 3 rich foods. 

🏂 Go Outside. Exercise inside is fantastic, but don’t let that keep you from a brisk walk outside. 

🤗 Keep Social. Social interaction is important for your mood. Make sure to keep your social engagements even if you don’t feel like leaving your house. You will be glad you did.
