A Root-Cause Approach to Hormones
Hormones don't work alone. Estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, thyroid and blood sugar all affect each other, which is why treating one symptom at a time often doesn't work.
We look at the whole picture, including:
- Shifting estrogen and progesterone in perimenopause
- Stress and cortisol patterns
- Thyroid function
- Blood sugar balance
- Nutrient status, including iron, B12, vitamin D and magnesium
- Sleep, digestion and lifestyle
What to Expect
- A thorough first visit. We review your full health history, symptoms, cycle, sleep, stress and any past lab work.
- Testing when helpful. This may include blood work, comprehensive hormone testing such as the DUTCH test, or Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis.
- A personalized plan. Nutrition, targeted supplements, botanical medicine and lifestyle strategies that fit your life.
- Ongoing support. We track how you're feeling and adjust as your body changes.
I'm happy to work alongside your family doctor. Many women find their results help them have more informed conversations with their medical team.
