Achieving optimal health through balanced hormones

Our hormones play a role in many biological processes, including hunger, metabolism, energy, sexual function, reproduction, mood, and sleep. When hormones are out of balance, we don’t feel like ourselves. Conversely, hormonal balance can positively influence the health of our body and mind.

At Integrative, we assess every patient individually, identifying the root cause of their hormonal imbalance, and formulating a unique treatment plan to move them towards optimal health.

Applications

Signs and Symptoms of Hormone Imbalances

Our endocrine system connects multiple organs, such as the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, and ovaries or testicles. Hormonal imbalances are typically due to complex disturbances within the endocrine system, and can be influenced by the health of our digestive system, nervous system, and detoxification pathways; in turn, hormonal imbalances can have multiple effects throughout our body.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms or conditions, you may benefit from treatment aimed at balancing your hormones:

Low libido
Low or irregular energy level
Insomnia
Low mood, anxiety, depression, and other mental health imbalances

Our Approach

An Integrative Approach To Hormone Imbalance

At Integrative, our treatment protocols vary with each patient based on their symptoms, history, and lifestyle. We aim to identify the root cause - the core imbalances that are interfering with the endocrine system.

Your doctor will include testing methods to identify the root cause. These methods may include:

First Visit

What does your first visit look like?

Your first visit is the opportunity for you to share your health goals, and for your doctor to gather vital health information that will help them to determine the root cause of your health concerns, and the best treatment plan for you.

One

Complete Medical & Lifestyle History

Your Doctor will take a complete history, gathering details regarding your current and past health concerns, lifestyle, as well as current supplements and medications

Two

Testing

If needed, your Doctor will recommend additional tests, either at Integrative or with your medical doctor. They may requisition results from tests you’ve completed in the past.

Your Doctor will likely recommend testing specific to hormonal levels, such as a serum, salivary, or urine hormone panel, or a combination of all three.

Treatment Plan

Your Treatment Plan

Every patient is unique; your doctor will develop a treatment plan that addresses the root cause of your health concerns.

Your treatment plan may include a variety of tools, including:

Optimal Nutrition

To support hormone balance, your doctor may recommend that you eliminate foods you are sensitive to, emphasize certain macronutrients, or include specific micronutrients.

Supplemental Support

Your Doctor may recommend specific herbal, nutritional, or energetic remedies, found in our Integrative Dispensary, aimed at balancing your endocrine system.

Targeted Treatment & Therapies

We offer a wide-variety of targeted treatments supportive to hormone balancing, such as Intravenous Therapies and Acupuncture. Additionally, our Naturopathic Doctors are well-versed in the use of bio-identical hormones.
