Hormonal Issues & Women's Health
The endocrine system is a complex system which is one of the main ways our body communicates. There are several hormones in place that keep in a fine balance to help us with a variety of physiological processes in the body. They can, however, get a bit out of whack and are vulnerable to the ongoings in our day-to-day lives - especially stress. We strive to restore hormonal balance to these patterns so that you can lead your best life and be well.

What to Expect From Your Hormonal Balancing Protocol
-
A thorough case history and intake will provide us with a lot of information about what genetic and lifestyle factors have brought you to where you are today.
-
Blood work will also paint a picture of what is within range or perhaps outside of an optimal physiological range. We tend to go through this with a fine-tooth comb to make sure everything is not just out of deficiency but within an optimal range - setting you up to thrive.
Common Diagnostic Tests for Hormonal Imbalance
Specialized testing will paint a more accurate picture of what your body is handling and not handling and where we can best focus our efforts to support hormonal balancing. These lab tests may include:
-
Dried urine analysis DUTCH
-
Hormone Salivary testing
