"My hormones are driving me crazy!"

Countless patients have come to me with symptoms deriving from hormones and their stories are often similar;

"I told my GYN, but she said she won't check my hormones levels."

"My primary care told me he doesn't help with anything related to hormone issues."

Women all over are abandoned by their medical providers. These suffering patients are our mothers, sisters and friends! It is very rare that I am the first provider that they have mentioned their concerns to; I'm just the first one who will actually listen and help them.

Are my symptoms caused from hormones?

Hormones can cause a variety of symptoms which is one of the reasons why many providers don't want to be bothered with treating it. It can be complicated and difficult. But too bad! It can be done.

• trouble sleeping
• fatigue
• foggy headed
• mood swings
• "hangry" alot
• hot flashes
• night sweats
• belly fat
• digestive problems
• headaches or migraines
• vaginal dryness
• breast changes
• low sex drive

What causes hormones to be too high or too low?

• Poor diet
• Alcohol
• Low physical activity
• Being overweight or obese
• Not getting enough sleep
• Unhealthy thyroid - not only does this cause low thyroid levels but will affect your sex hormones and weight as well
• Diabetes - affects not just insulin levels but other sugar related hormones, sex hormones and growth hormones
• Age - but don't believe the myth that getting older means you must suffer with age related disease!

What options do I have if I think I may be affected by hormones?

Seek a medical professional who has extensive experience in using various forms of bioidentical hormone replacement options as well as other supportive options such as vitamins and supplements that work synergistically. You should notice benefits from treatment within the first month and if you are being treated elsewhere and have not or you are being told that your symptoms are not treatable, please make an appointment today.
