At some point in our lives, most of us are faced with symptoms sparked by fluctuations in our hormones which causes imbalances. The symptoms of hormone imbalances include: 

​

• Painful or irregular periods

• Perimenopausal symptoms

• Hot flashes 

• Bloating

• Unpredictable periods

What are hormonal imbalances?

Hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, insulin, cortisol, and thyroid are extremely important chemical messengers that affect many aspects of your overall health. These chemical messengers, which are made by our endocrine system, work throughout your entire body to accomplish a wide range of important physical and biochemical functions.

​

The causes of hormone imbalances vary, but the common culprits include:

​

• Poor dietary choice 

• Lack of exercise 

• High levels of stress 

• Food allergies or sensitivities 

• Hidden infections 

• High levels of inflammation 

• Weight gain and obesity 

• Digestive dysfunction

• Exposure to toxins

• Genetics 

What can you expect working with me in addressing your hormone imbalances?

You can expect a comprehensive evaluation when you work with me for concerns about your hormone health. As a functional medicine practitioner, pharmacist & health coach, I take a health-centered, personalized approach that focuses on identifying the root cause of your thyroid condition, removing any triggers & insults, and supporting your body to heal so you can get back to being healthy, vibrant and whole.

My goal is to help you rebalance your hormone levels naturally. This is not only effective but can also have other benefits such as increased energy, weight loss, improved sleep, and healthier skin.

​

During your evaluation, I will ask detailed questions about your personal health as well as your symptoms. I will look into your diet, lifestyle, exercise habits, and environmental exposures to assist me in identifying factors that affect your hormone health and overall health. 

​

I may recommend functional lab testing and blood work that may review your gut (a comprehensive stool analysis), check your sex hormones, test for pathogens or other toxins that place a burden on your body, thyroid function, thyroid antibodies, adrenals, liver function, blood counts, blood sugar regulation, food sensitivities, genetics. This data can help uncover the root cause as well as develop a plan to restore your thyroid function. 

​

The expected duration of work with me varies from person to person, but expect to work with me at a 4-month minimum and up to 6 to 12 months. This includes an initial consultation, a follow-up review of labs appointment, and twice-monthly 30-minute follow-up sessions thereafter (8 sessions total for the 4-month package). 

What does restoring your hormone health include?

Restoration of your hormone health is personalized based on your underlying causes and your commitment level. The main areas I use to help promote healing include dietary changes, lifestyle changes, drainage & detoxification support, removing pathogens, minimizing environmental toxins, healing the digestive tract & restoring gut function, optimizing nutrient intake with whole foods, targeted supplementation & nutraceuticals, weight-loss strategies, exercise & body movement, and wellness coaching for mind and body health. I am not a medical doctor, therefore I cannot prescribe hormone replacement therapy (HRT). However, I can provide the necessary education and resources to help you decide if bioidentical HRT is right for you.
