Hormone Balancing Consultation

Hormones are the key components in our endocrine system, a complex interactive system that strives to maintain a dynamic balance that keeps us healthy and feeling good. Our scientific understanding of the intricacies of this system is growing but is limited by its immense complexity.

What we do know is that hormonal balance can be disrupted by many factors such as poor diet, chronic stress, environmental toxins, and autoimmune conditions among others. Alternatively, hormonal balance can be supported by specific dietary composition, herbs, vitamins, stress management and exercise as well as hormone supplementation when needed.

As we age, we undergo a variety of natural hormonal transitions. How we experience these transitions can be greatly affected by our lifestyle. Just taking a hormone supplement, whatever form it is, may not achieve balance and well-being.

The goal of this consultation is to assess your individual history, evaluate hormone levels as indicated, and devise a plan to support your body's ability to self regulate. We will use the power of nutrition, the gentle support of herbs and plant based supplements, mind-body exercises and relaxation techniques as the foundation to support and restore balance. Bio-identical hormone supplementation can be added when necessary.
