Introduction to Hormone Imbalances

Hormone imbalances can negatively impact men and women of all ages. When hormones are deficient or not functioning properly, patients may experience symptoms like fatigue, mood disorders, sexual dysfunction, and more. Timely diagnosis and treatment is critical for restoring optimal hormonal balance and regaining health and vitality.

Diagnostic Testing

Comprehensive lab testing is necessary for accurately assessing hormone status. We utilize advanced methods and our diagnostics include:

Blood Tests

Blood tests measure levels of key hormones like estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid hormones, cortisol, and more. This shows us where imbalances exist.

Saliva Tests

Saliva testing reveals "free" or bioavailable hormones that are exerting effects on the body. Saliva levels can vary widely throughout the day, so we obtain samples at four different time points for precise results.

Symptom Inventories

We also have patients track symptoms like fatigue, trouble sleeping, decreased libido, hot flashes, and irritability. This symptom inventory aligns with lab results to create a complete hormonal picture.

Customized Treatment Protocols

No two patients have identical hormone profiles or treatment needs. Based on the patient's health history and our clinical expertise, we design customized regimens that are safe, effective, and address the root hormonal causes of symptoms. Treatment protocols may involve:

• Bioidentical hormone therapy - We prescribe plant-derived hormones identical in molecular structure to those naturally produced in the body. These hormones precisely bind receptors and mimic the action of our innate hormones.
• Nutritional therapies - Specific dietary changes and nutritional supplements aid hormone balance and provide the raw materials needed for optimal hormonal function.
• Stress management - High stress depletes hormones and causes imbalance. Lifestyle changes to improve stress levels often play a key role.

Follow-up testing occurs periodically to ensure hormones are optimally balanced on the prescribed regimen. We adjust protocols accordingly in response to lab results and symptom reporting.

Lifestyle Factors for Best Treatment Results

In addition to bioidentical hormones and customized protocols, patients must enact certain lifestyle changes for full restoration of hormonal health:

• Get adequate high quality sleep
• Engage in regular exercise appropriate for your fitness level
• Prioritize stress management through yoga, meditation, massage, or other activities you enjoy
• Consume a nutritious whole foods diet and stay hydrated
• Limit intake of refined carbohydrates, sugar, caffeine and alcohol
• Take targeted nutritional supplements that support hormone health

Attending to lifestyle factors enhances the benefits of our hormone replacement therapies. It also leads to improvements in overall wellbeing.
