Hormone Imbalance

These may be symptoms of a hormonal imbalance, thyroid, adrenal problem or a combination of factors, including your diet and lifestyle.
Proper testing and treatment of hormone imbalances or problems may need specialty lab testing and careful interpretation of your symptoms.  A complete medical history, family history and lifestyle factors must be taken into consideration when evaluating test results.

It is also important to not only address the hormone imbalance itself, but the root cause of the imbalance.  Part of the underlying cause is often due to stress, environmental exposure, poor dietary habits, oral contraceptive use or various combinations of these factors.  Naturopathic medicine works to treat the hormone imbalance, thereby relieving the symptoms, but also works to remove the sources of the imbalance.  Oftentimes, women are put on an ideal prescription of the right balance of hormones, but the improvements only last so long.  This is often due to lack of focus on the original cause.  Unless that cause is dealt with, through botanical medicine, specific vitamins and minerals, adrenal support and lifestyle changes, the imbalance will keep perpetuating and the need for hormones will continue to increase.

At NIHA, we use state of the art salivary hormone testing to assess active amounts of hormones. We then create custom compounded hormone formulas based on those results, your health concerns as well as the underlying cause to most effectively address your symptoms and get you started on the road to good health.
