What exactly does that mean? Every person is different, so it means something different for everyone. But the unifying truth is that your body knows what to do. It has a deep, inherent healing intelligence when it comes to our hormonal system. It is not our destiny as women (and men) to suffer through our reproductive years and beyond.
Hormones are messengers. Estrogen and progesterone are engaged in an elegant interplay to keep our periods regular. Cortisol and adrenaline keep us alert and energized. Thyroid hormones maintain metabolism. And these are just a few of the fifty human hormones that keep us in a state of wellbeing. When a single hormone is imbalanced, it can set off a cascade of widespread health problems; everything is connected.
We work closely with women, and men, to uncover the cause of their hormonal imbalance. Often, we see patients who are disenchanted with conventional approaches of band-aiding their problem with oral contraceptives, or who have simply been told there is no solution. As naturopaths, our doctors believe there is always a solution, as long as we can find the cause. Using clinical knowledge, targeted functional medicine testing, natural therapies, and nutrition, we encourage the body to return to its natural state of balance.
