As scary as this sounds, it is unfortunately true that most doctors (and even some OBGYNs) don’t know how to treat hormonal imbalances confidently.
Doctors all over the world are telling patients suffering from hormonal imbalances that “your labs are normal” or “it's just a matter of aging.”
They are unsure how to help patients suffering with debilitating hormonal imbalances... especially during perimenopause and menopause.

3 Little-Known Facts About Hormones
"My Labs Are
Normal..."
With labs "in normal range", why do I have symptoms?
Your hormones can be in range... but not be optimal. The "normal range" is just based on an average of people (healthy or not). If you find yourself towards the lower or higher end, your hormones aren't in the optimal range. That's why we go beyond standard lab tests to find out why your hormones are imbalanced... checking other values that standard labs often miss. Take the first step to reclaim your vitality, and take the short quiz!
Nutritional
Deficiencies
Are nutrient deficiencies impacting your hormones?
Without proper nutrition, your body can't make vital hormones. Most people, even healthier eaters, have nutrient deficiencies due to stress, gut issues, toxic exposure and taking medications. Using an integrative approach, we first evaluate all possible root causes of hormone dysfunction – including possible nutrient deficiencies and factors that drain your batteries. And if your body doesn’t have the raw materials it needs your hormones simply can’t function the way they should.
Impact Of
Gut Health
GI issues can mess with your hormone balance
Gut imbalances frequently turn into hormonal imbalances! Gut imbalances like reflux, leaky gut, or bacterial overgrowth can disrupt testosterone, cortisol, and thyroid levels. Trying to fix hormones without addressing gut health first often backfires. We see it all the time: men struggling with fatigue, low drive, or poor results on TRT because the root cause is actually in the gut. Before jumping into hormone therapy, it’s critical to fix what’s happening in your gut.
