HOW does functional medicine for hormone health work?
Examining hormone health from a functional medicine perspective involves a comprehensive and integrative approach that goes beyond merely addressing symptoms. Functional medicine views the body as an interconnected system, recognizing that imbalances in one area, such as hormones, can have far-reaching effects on overall health.
We view each person as unique, taking into account your medical history, lifestyle, genetics, and environmental factors, then use comprehensive lab testing to dig deep into the root cause of imbalances. We collaborate and empower you to develop sustainable lifestyle changes that support long-term hormone health.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Purpose: Recognizing that each person is unique, functional medicine practitioners conduct thorough assessments of a patient's medical history, lifestyle, genetics, and environmental factors.
Actions: Comprehensive lab tests may be employed to measure hormone levels, assess thyroid function, and identify potential imbalances. This individualized approach helps tailor treatment plans to specific needs.
Purpose: Acknowledging the influence of nutrition and lifestyle on hormone balance.
Actions: Emphasis on a nutrient-dense diet, regular physical activity, stress management techniques, and adequate sleep. Addressing deficiencies in essential nutrients that play a role in hormone production and metabolism is crucial.
Purpose: Recognizing the impact of chronic stress on hormonal balance.
Actions: Implementing stress reduction techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation exercises. Managing stress helps regulate cortisol levels and supports the overall hormonal equilibrium.
Purpose: Understanding the gut-hormone connection.
Actions: Addressing gut health through interventions like probiotics, prebiotics, and dietary changes. A healthy gut microbiome contributes to proper hormone metabolism and absorption.
Purpose: Recognizing the role of toxin exposure in hormonal imbalances.
Actions: Supporting the body's natural detoxification processes through measures such as liver support, proper hydration, and minimizing exposure to environmental toxins.
Purpose: Addressing imbalances in sex hormones such as Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone.
Actions: Use targeted interventions which may include herbal supplements, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), or lifestyle modifications to restore balance.
Purpose: To recognize that hormone balance is dynamic and may require ongoing adjustments
Actions: Regular follow-ups and monitoring through lab tests to assess progress and make necessary modifications to the treatment plan.
