Feel like your body is working against you? Stubborn weight, unrelenting fatigue, or mood
swings are often signs that your hormonal system, the delicate conversation between thyroid,
adrenals, pancreas, ovaries, and gut, is struggling to keep pace with life’s demands. Our
functional medicine team listens closely and tests deeply so we can bring that network back into
harmony.
During your initial visit, we map your symptoms, history, and lifestyle. Then we gather targeted
labs: DUTCH Complete® hormone panel, adrenal testing, continuous‑glucose monitoring,
fasting insulin, thyroid antibodies, advanced lipid particle testing, and micronutrient
analysis, to find the root causes.
As blood sugar stabilizes and hormone signals normalize, weight releases naturally, energy rebounds, and mental clarity returns. Armed with your data, we co‑create a practical plan that may include:
To steady glucose and hormones
For lean‑muscle support
Enjoyable movement to fire up metabolism
To reset cortisol and rebuild energy
Chosen for your unique biology (never a one‑size‑fits‑all list)
Therapy to optimize your health
Hormone balance protects far more than fertility or moods. Healthy insulin, cortisol, and sex‑hormone levels also lower cardiovascular risk, support bone density, and sharpen cognition. Whether you’re navigating PCOS in your 20s or hot flashes in your 50s, we connect the dots so every system benefits.
Functional medicine treats PCOS by addressing root causes like insulin resistance, inflammation, gut health imbalances, and nutrient deficiencies rather than just managing symptoms with birth control or metformin. Our approach includes comprehensive hormone testing, personalized nutrition plans, targeted supplements, stress management, and lifestyle modifications that help restore hormonal balance and improve symptoms naturally.
Yes, functional medicine offers comprehensive support for perimenopause and menopause by optimizing hormone production, supporting adrenal function, and addressing symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep issues. We use detailed hormone testing, bioidentical hormone therapy when appropriate, targeted nutrition, and lifestyle modifications to help you navigate this transition with greater comfort and vitality.
We use advanced hormone testing including comprehensive thyroid panels, sex hormone testing (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone), cortisol rhythm testing, insulin and glucose markers, and nutrient assessments. We often prefer saliva or dried urine testing (DUTCH test) as these methods provide more detailed information about hormone metabolism and daily patterns compared to standard blood tests.
Our functional medicine approach to insulin resistance includes personalized nutrition plans that stabilize blood sugar, targeted supplements like berberine and chromium, stress management techniques, and exercise recommendations. We address underlying factors like inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and gut health imbalances while monitoring progress through regular testing to prevent progression to type 2 diabetes.
Hormone imbalances can be caused by chronic stress, poor sleep, nutrient deficiencies, gut health issues, environmental toxins,moldand lifestyle factors. Treatment timeline varies but most patients begin seeing improvements within 3-6 months with consistent treatment. Complete hormone rebalancing may take 6-12 months as we work to address root causes and support your body's natural hormone production and regulation.
