Hormones & Women’s Health

Hormones influence nearly every aspect of your well-being—your energy, mood, menstrual cycle, metabolism, fertility, and how you respond to stress. When they’re out of balance, it doesn’t just affect your period—it can ripple through your entire body and mind.

In functional medicine and Eastern medicine, hormonal symptoms aren’t seen as random or inevitable. They’re signs of deeper imbalances—often involving the gut, liver, nervous system, or inflammatory pathways. By identifying and supporting the root cause, you can begin to feel more like yourself again.

Conditions & Concerns We Commonly Support:

• Painful or irregular periods

• PMS or PMDD (mood swings, irritability, breast tenderness, headaches)

• PCOS (irregular cycles, cystic acne, insulin resistance, weight fluctuations)

• Endometriosis (painful periods, digestive changes, fatigue)

• Anxiety and mood swings linked to cycle or hormones

• Low libido, vaginal dryness, or sleep disturbances

• Perimenopause and menopause (hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, anxiety)

• Fertility and preconception support

• Postpartum depletion or irregular cycles after birth control

Hormones Are Messengers—Not the Enemy

Hormones are incredibly responsive to your environment, stress levels, blood sugar stability, sleep, and nutrient status. When one system is imbalanced, others try to compensate—leading to symptoms like:

• Cyclical mood changes, depression, or anxiety

• Fatigue, insomnia, or restless sleep

• Skin breakouts or changes in hair texture

• Breast tenderness or pelvic pain

• Weight gain or resistance to weight loss

• Irregular ovulation or missed periods

• Brain fog or trouble concentrating

• Digestive changes throughout your cycle

You don’t have to live at the mercy of your hormones. Your body is trying to communicate with you—and there’s a reason you feel the way you do.

Our Approach

We explore the deeper systems that regulate hormonal balance: the HPA axis (brain-adrenal connection), gut-liver detox pathways, inflammatory markers, and how your nervous system processes stress.

We begin with a detailed look at:

• Your full cycle history and symptom patterns

• Nutritional habits and blood sugar regulation

• Stress response and trauma history

• Sleep and circadian rhythm

• Gut health and estrogen metabolism

• Environmental exposures (plastics, toxins, synthetic hormones)
