Providing realistic and customized support to finally get your hormones back on track


How We Can Help

Chances are if you’re here, you’ve been struggling with your hormone health for far too long. If hormone imbalances are ruling your life, you keep cancelling plans because your skin has gotten so bad, you have no idea where you are in your cycle, or another one of your friends just had a baby while you’re still struggling to conceive, you’re in the right place.

Our team is here to help you take the guesswork out of eliminating your hormone imbalances, and provide you with a customized and realistic treatment plan.

What are Hormones Anyway?

Hormones are your body’s chemical messenger system and are involved in every process in the body. They determine growth and development, metabolism, ability to conceive, weight, skin health, period health, blood sugar regulation, libido, mood, and much much more! The truth is your hormones are an essential component to the way your body functions, your overall health, and how you feel.

Common hormonal imbalances we often treat include: 

What to Expect

Whatever your hormonal concerns may be, our team will take the time to hear you, meet you where you are at, and teach you how to feel confident and comfortable in your body again. Our ultimate goal is always to dig deeper and find the unique underlying causes of your hormonal imbalance, so that symptoms are corrected – not masked, you feel in control of your hormones, and you begin to see your body as an ally and not the enemy anymore!

Healthy Hormones: Our 5 Step Program

It’s time to reclaim your hormones and feel great in your body again! This is exactly why we created the Healthy Hormones Program. This 5-step program will help reduce your symptoms, teach you body literacy, and take the guesswork out of your hormones, so you can get back to feeling like yourself!

our 5-step program

  1. Identify Barriers  - We complete extremely comprehensive intakes and lab testing to understand your general health status, your hormone status, and identify where things are going wrong. We also send you home to complete symptom monitoring so we can start to pick up on your unique symptom patterns.

  2. Support Foundations – This is where your treatment begins. We ensure the foundations of hormone health are in place so your symptoms resolve faster and we’re maintaining these results long-term. This includes correcting things like immune function, digestive function, and environmental exposures. Often just correcting these and putting them into place is all you need! We teach you how to implement foundational supports in a balanced way so you never feel restricted.

  3. Customized + Targeted Supplementation – Once we receive all of your lab results and symptom diary we start targeting treatment specifically to you. This often takes the form of highly concentrated supplementation and is completely based on your unique physiology and barriers. In some cases, bioidentical hormones are recommended.

  4. Optimize the Gut – Once foundations are in place, and we’ve removed underlying barriers through targeted supplementation, we look at further optimizing the gut. The gut is the foundation of lasting health in the body and has far-reaching impacts on our hormonal health. Optimizing this system is a must in order to maintain results.

  5. Maintenance – Once your initial concerns have been addressed, we create a new plan for you to carry forward to help sustain your results and achieve your long-term health goals. Our goal at this point is that you’ve become such an expert in understanding your own body that you only need us for maintenance support quarterly or bi-annually!
