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.
