Understanding Hormonal Balance

Hormonal imbalances can significantly impact your daily life. We expertly investigate and treat a wide range of these imbalances and deficiencies.

Common concerns caused by menstrual hormone imbalance include:

  • Oestrogen excess: This can lead to heavy periods, fibroids, hair loss, breast cysts, breast pain, sleep issues, and weight gain. We can manage this through tailored diet and supplement plans.

  • Late cycle progesterone deficiency: Often resulting in mood swings, sleep disturbances, bloating, headaches, and heavy, painful periods. This can be effectively managed with bioidentical progesterone.

  • Testosterone and DHEA deficiency: Can cause low libido, weight issues, and mood disorders. These can often be helped with bioidentical hormone replacement.

 

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

PCOS is a common metabolic syndrome that causes an imbalance of female hormones. Symptoms often include:

  • Irregular periods

  • Acne

  • Excess body hair growth

  • Weight gain

  • Infertility

Our treatment approach for PCOS focuses on correcting the underlying metabolic cause. By addressing this root issue, we aim to regulate hormone imbalance, leading to a significant improvement in all associated symptoms.
