Well woman care

Your menstrual cycle is an indicator of how your body is working. The hormones that keep your cycle in balance affect all of your bodily systems; your thyroid, stress response, metabolism and menstrual cycle are all intertwined. When it comes to measuring overall health, an abnormal cycle is as essential a measurement as other vital signs like blood pressure and heart rate. 

Functional hormone testing is comprehensive lab work that allows you to identify and treat the root cause of hormonal imbalances.  Hormone testing can be done with blood, saliva, or urine. 

We also offer DUTCH testing (DUTCH = Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones)

This is a great way to test levels of estrogens, androgens, progesterone and cortisol, and results are considered more complete than standard hormone tests which are typically done with blood or saliva. And this can be done from home! 

Concerned your hormones are out of balance? You are not alone. One of our favorite things is helping women to achieve hormone balance through natural methods (think diet, supplements, and lifestyle choices that support your body in balancing itself back out). Hormone imbalances are common after coming off hormonal birth control, during periods of high stress, when exposed to environmental toxins, and in the perimenopausal period.

Hormone replacement therapy can be a game changer for perimenopausal and menopausal women. We can help to find the right compound for your individual needs, which can alleviate symptoms of fatigue, vasomotor symptoms, decreased libido, insomnia, mental health changes, and beyond. Preventing or slowing the drop in hormones that naturally occurs with age has been shown to decrease the risk of developing diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis and dementia, among others. Balanced hormones support wellbeing, vitality and longevity.
