Hormones affect our day-to-day lives more than you may realize, and because they are not something we can physically see, understanding how they interact with behavior, mood, and the body can be difficult. As part of our endocrine system, hormones help regulate metabolism, growth, development, sexual function, sleep, mood, and more.

However, common hormones such as thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, and cortisol fluctuate daily, and the change becomes more severe as we age. Because of that fluctuation, hormone imbalances can result in too much or too little of a certain hormone in the bloodstream. The results of these imbalances are seen in many symptoms, including:

• Irregular or painful periods

• Weight gain

• Fatigue

• Hot Flashes

• Thyroid Hormone dysfunction

• Night Sweats

• Breast tenderness

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Changes in sex drive

There are many more symptoms that can result from hormone imbalance, and by utilizing functional medicine to identify root causes of hormone imbalance, we can help eliminate common root causes like stress, poor sleep, and overexposure to toxins. We perform hormone testing to accurately assess your hormone levels and determine which of those root causes could be affecting them.
