A wide variety of body processes are carried out by the endocrine system through chemical messengers called hormones. The endocrine system is a collection of glands that produce hormones which regulate growth, metabolism and sexual development and function.
These glands release hormones directly into the blood stream where they are transported to organs and tissues throughout the entire body. The major glands of the endocrine system are: the pineal gland; the pituitary gland; the thyroid gland, the thymus, the adrenal glands, the pancreas and the ovaries and testes.
You have many different types of hormones. Some of the better known hormones are estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, DHEA and thyroid hormone. They work together to control body functions. Keeping them balanced is important for good health.
As we get older, hormone levels can change. Some may increase and some may decline. These changes can create a state of hormone imbalance. Many age-related diseases and health challenges are commonly associated with hormone imbalance.
The symptoms of imbalance are many, including: fatigue, weight gain, loss of muscle strength, anxiety, depression, mood swings, brain fog, irritability, PMS, menstrual irregularities, hot flashes, infertility, sexual dysfunction, thinning or loss of hair, swelling, headache, insomnia, dizziness upon standing, hypoglycemia and sensitivity to weather changes or smells.
Combining a complete history and evaluation of your signs and symptoms with your test results (saliva and/or blood testing), we will jointly create a health care plan to address your health concerns.
We will determine if bioidentical hormone replacement is an appropriate option for you to consider. Other treatment options may also be recommended such as lifestyle changes, diet modifications, supplements and/or other therapies.
