Do you have hormone imbalance?

Hormone imbalance refers to a disruption in the normal level of hormones produced in the ovaries (women), testicles (men), adrenal, or thyroid glands. The delicate balance between this interconnected hormonal system can be offset by a number of stressors, nutritional deficiencies, and environmental exposures leading to a broad range of symptoms.

As part of your initial assessment, your naturopathic doctor will order comprehensive hormone testing to identify your specific hormone imbalances and create a wellness plan using diet and lifestyle recommendations, nutritional supplements and, when appropriate, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy.

How does this happen?

Our hormones play a major role in our body and effect how we look, feel and function. Life stressors from taking care of the family, commuting, working long hours, poor sleep, unhealthy eating habits, environmental toxins and other forms of physical and emotional stress can disrupt our natural hormone balance leading to changes in energy level, mood, weight, sleep quality, skin and simply not feeling like yourself.
