Hormone Restoration
You like to keep busy. You're a great multi-tasker. You're a mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister and you love taking care of all the important people in your life. You are a strong woman but lately you've noticed that you're more easily overwhelmed than usual and your brain is feeling more "foggy".
Change was once an adventure and now it worries you. And with worry, comes anxiety and sleepless nights.
Something just doesn't feel right...
Let's work together to help you feeling more like your best self again. Your symptoms may be common, but they aren't normal. And instead of excusing them as aging or stress, my goal is to empower you to feel in control of your hormonal health and to support you in the very unique challenges that women go though at every transition stage in their lives.
Each patient's hormonal journey from her first period, the timing of her cycle, PMS symptoms, heaviness or cramps during the flow, her pregnancies, and menopause is listened to and discussed. Functional tests such as saliva hormone testing and thyroid tests are used to determine any hormone imbalances or deficiencies. From there, I use therapies such as acupuncture, herbal supplements and bioidentical hormones along with nutrition to guide my patients into feeling confident and reassured that they are on the road to hormone restoration.
