Symptoms, causes & solutions for lasting balance

Hormonal imbalance, resolved at the root.

Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate mood, energy, metabolism, and reproductive health. When even one falls out of rhythm, we uncover why — and help your body return to its natural equilibrium.

Hormone balance

The importance of hormone balance for optimal health.

Achieve stability to enhance energy, mood, and vitality

Hormones play a crucial role in maintaining both physical and emotional well-being. These chemical messengers regulate essential functions like mood, energy, thyroid hormones, metabolism, and reproductive health. When hormones are balanced, they support overall health and quality of life. However, even a slight imbalance can set off a ripple effect of symptoms, impacting energy levels, sleep quality, weight, mood, and, most importantly, the menstrual cycle.

At Flora Naturopathics, we believe in the body’s inherent ability to regain balance with the right support. By combining tailored treatments with lifestyle adjustments, we empower patients on their journey to improved hormonal health. Our approach emphasizes both identifying the root cause of imbalances and restoring the body’s natural equilibrium through holistic methods and, when necessary, targeted medical support. Every woman’s hormone picture is unique and requires an approach specific to her.

Root causes

What causes hormonal imbalance?

Hormonal imbalances can arise from a combination of lifestyle factors, medical conditions, and environmental influences. Chronic stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, and exposure to environmental toxins can all disrupt the body’s natural hormone levels.

Chronic stress & cortisol levels

Extended stress can lead to high cortisol levels, which interfere with other hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones. High cortisol often leads to fatigue, irritability, and even immune health issues, so managing stress is crucial for long-term hormone health.

Nutritional deficiencies & diet

Essential nutrients like B vitamins, vitamin D, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids are vital for the adrenal glands, thyroid hormones, and overall endocrine health. A lack of these nutrients can lead to fatigue, mood swings, and imbalances in hormones including estrogen and insulin.

Balanced nutrition for hormone health

Diets high in processed foods and sugars can disrupt blood sugar levels and lead to weight gain, which is often linked to hormonal imbalance. Whole foods such as leafy greens, lean proteins, and healthy fats support hormone production and protect the endocrine glands.

Sleep & hormones

Restful nights, balanced days.

Quality sleep is vital for hormone regulation, particularly for cortisol and melatonin. Disrupted sleep can elevate cortisol, leading to stress and weight gain, while poor melatonin production affects mood and energy. Prioritizing sleep strengthens the body’s natural hormone cycles, improving mood and resilience.

Consistent sleep — regulates your body's internal clock for balanced hormones.

Limit evening blue light — reduce screen time to improve melatonin production.

Relaxing bedtime routine — engage in calming activities like reading to improve sleep quality.

Avoid stimulants at night — reduce caffeine and heavy meals before bed.

Environmental health

Exposure to environmental toxins.

Frequent exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in plastics, pesticides, and certain personal care products can impact the adrenal glands and other hormone-producing glands. Reducing contact with EDCs helps protect the body’s natural hormone balance.

Use glass or stainless steel — avoid plastics, especially when heating food.

Opt for organic produce — reduces exposure to synthetic pesticides.

Filter tap water — reduces contaminants that may impact hormone health.

Choose natural personal care products — look for products free of parabens and phthalates.

Switch to natural cleaners — eco-friendly cleaning products minimize exposure to harsh chemicals.

Symptoms

Recognizing symptoms of hormonal imbalance.

Hormonal imbalances can present a variety of symptoms, depending on which hormones are affected. We work closely with patients to uncover the underlying causes and develop a personalized treatment plan to improve overall health and vitality.

Persistent fatigue

Feeling drained, even after rest, may indicate a hormonal issue.

Weight changes

Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight can be tied to hormonal fluctuations.

Mood swings

Irritability, anxiety, or depression can often be linked to hormonal changes.

Sleep issues

Difficulty falling or staying asleep may be related to melatonin or cortisol imbalances.

Skin concerns

Issues like hair loss, acne, and dryness may reflect imbalances in hormones such as androgens or estrogen.

Connected conditions

How hormonal imbalances affect your health.

Fatigue, irregular cycles, weight gain, and mood swings are just some of the ways hormonal imbalances disrupt daily life. Here are common diagnoses that often require deeper treatment to address hormonal balance effectively.

Adrenal Fatigue

Chronic stress overburdens the adrenal glands, disrupting cortisol production and leading to fatigue, weight gain, sleep disturbances, and mood swings.

Menopause

Learn more

A decline in estrogen and progesterone often brings hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia, and weight gain. Natural therapies ease symptoms and support a smooth transition.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Learn more

Insulin resistance and elevated androgens disrupt ovulation, causing irregular cycles, acne, and hair loss. We address insulin sensitivity and hormone balance together.

Amenorrhea

A missing period is often a sign of disrupted hormone communication between the brain and ovaries, from stress, nutrient deficiencies, or other hormonal conditions.

Endometriosis

This inflammatory condition is fueled by estrogen dominance. We work to regulate estrogen, reduce inflammation, and support overall hormone balance.

Thyroid Imbalance

Hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism disrupts metabolism, energy, and mood, and often correlates with shifts in sex hormones.

Birth Control Detox

Long-term hormonal contraceptives can suppress natural hormone production. We support liver function, replenish nutrients, and reestablish healthy cycles.

PMS

Learn more

Imbalances in estrogen and progesterone during the luteal phase drive mood swings, bloating, and irritability that tailored natural treatments can alleviate.

Uterine Fibroids

Fibroids are often linked to excess estrogen. Addressing estrogen dominance and supporting detoxification helps shrink fibroids naturally.

Labs & testing

Personalized testing & holistic hormone balance treatment.

We provide testing options to understand each patient’s hormonal profile. Through targeted functional testing, we assess hormone levels, identify specific imbalances, and develop a treatment plan that addresses the root cause.

Assess hormone levels

Targeted functional testing maps estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and thyroid hormones so we can see your unique hormonal profile clearly.

Identify specific imbalances

Results are read against optimal ranges to pinpoint exactly which hormones are out of rhythm and why, rather than treating symptoms blindly.

Treat the root cause

Findings become a treatment plan that empowers the body's natural healing abilities, with additional medical support when needed.

Maggie WetzelDefinitely would recommend Dr. Patel and Flora Naturopathics. I was diagnosed with hashimoto's when I was 13 and have been on a pretty high dosage of Levothyroxine since then. After working with Dr. Patel for ~7 months, my bloodwork no longer shows any signs of thyroid antibodies and I've been able to lower my Levo dose down to the lowest it's ever been. I've greatly appreciated his kindness, attention to detail and willingness to listen to my concerns. That's something you unfortunately don't get a lot of during standard doctors visits. It's an investment but in my mind it's been so worth it. Many thanks to Dr. Patel and the entire Flora team!Read full review

David BarnettDr Maura Henninger was referred to me by my daughter who had been suffering from several stomach issues. She told me after working with her, she has felt better than she has in years.I’ve been struggling from Barrett’s esophagus for about eight months. After the diagnosis it’s been difficult finding a doctor that would help manage my constant pain until I started working with Dr. Henninger. She’s attentive, thoughtful, and tailors a program specifically to improve your health and well-being. Additionally, she is proactive when necessary, adjusting to the needs of each patient. After each consultation she provides a helpful summary that’s extremely important for future reference.I’m delighted to share this review, and I hope it can reach anyone in need of finding a doctor that will provide that personalized approach to help manage their medical situation.Now the majority of my days are pain free. I consider myself fortunate I found Dr. Henninger!Read full review

Payge CorazziniI’ve worked with Dr. Stephanie Pisacano and I have nothing but great things to say about her. I wasn’t really feeling heard in the western medical world, so I made an appointment with Dr. Pisacano and instantly, I knew I was in good hands. She’s easy to talk to, makes you feel heard and genuinely wants to help you. She’s great at communicating and educating you on why she’s doing what she’s doing, I can’t recommend her enough!Read full review

Allie SilversheinI’ve been working with Dr. Patel for almost a year and have had a truly excellent experience. He takes the time to really listen, asks thoughtful and targeted questions, and focuses on getting to the root of concerns rather than just treating symptoms. I especially appreciate how encouraging and nonjudgmental he is. He meets you where you are and creates a plan that feels realistic and sustainable. I’ve seen meaningful improvements, including lower inflammation markers, which has been incredibly validating. He’s also very responsive to emails and follow-up questions, which makes a huge difference. I always feel supported, genuinely enjoy our visits, and highly recommend working with Dr. Patel!Read full review

Savvy HedrickDr. Maura Henninger was absolutely a pleasure to work with. I've struggled with cystic acne and was fearful of getting off spironolactone, but Dr. Henninger gave me the peace and confidence to create a transitional plan that didn't overwhelm me. I've been off for six months and my adrenal levels are restored, and based on her professional opinions I have tackled all my fears of skin and have never felt better, inside or out. Thank you so much!!!Read full review

velina gerovaI have been working with Dr Iselin for few months now and I can confidently recommend her services. I turned to Flora because I stopped taking birth control which I was taking for over 10 years because of extremely painful periods and bad stomach pain every month. Without boring you with too many details, I have never received a diagnosis for the past 15 years aside that I was diagnosed with PCOS 15 years ago and ever since then, every doctor just went with it. The reason I turned to naturopathic medicine was because I felt like it was not just that and I was right. Turned out the problem was coming from my gut and my thyroid and not the PCOS. Dr Iselin recommended doing a few tests and discovered the issue, she offered a holistic approach with some diet and lifestyle changes as well as supplements and I have now had 3 consecutive regular periods that I didn't even have to take a pain relief for which if anyone told me this will be the case some day, I would probably just laugh :) anyway, I am so glad I went this route and I trusted Dr Iselin, she is such a wonderful human and a knowledgable professional so if you are reading this and wondering is you should give it a try, I think you should :) Thank you Dr Iselin!Read full review

Yolanda SantosI've been seeing Dr. Patel for almost a year now, and it's been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I started seeing him when I thought I had nothing to lose. I'd been seeing all kinds of specialists (neurologists, PCPs, gynecologists, and gastroenterologists) for over a year, and they all told me everything was fine. My symptoms were so severe that I literally couldn't get out of bed or do any of my daily activities without feeling extreme fatigue and symptoms that I still can't quite figure out, and just remembering them makes me sad. From day one, the doctor was incredibly empathetic and knowledgeable. He sent me for several blood tests and other tests I'd never heard of before, where they found about six different diagnoses (SIBO, leaky gut, sluggish liver, functional hypothyroidism, estrogen dominance, and adrenal fatigue). Today I can say that thanks to God, Dr. Patel, and my desire to be well and healthy again, I feel good, energetic, eager to live, and, above all, healing more every day. Thank you, Dr. Patel.Read full review

Ryan WilliamsDr Patel is the best!! Very insightful and accommodating. Has helped my overall health tremendouslyRead full review

donna austMy experience with Dr.Kellie Moore was wonderful. She listened to my health concerns with great patience, kindness and professional expertise, asked all the right questions, and followed up with the necessary and very thorough labs to address my needs. Our subsequent visit entailed a detailed review of my labs and a personalized, holistic plan to address my health issues. She is open and flexible to offer alternative options since what works for one doesn’t always work for all. I would recommend Dr. Kellie Moore for anyone who is looking for alternative ways to maintain health and/or address health issues from a holistic approach.Read full review

Peter GanovskyBeen working with Dr. Patel for a few years to address a couple of issues with my health that other doctors/research have not been able to help with. Dr. Patel is always so kind, such a good listener and makes me feel like I can actually get somewhere with my problems. I really believe I can trust him. His knowledge, spirit and support is incomparable. Would highly, highly, highly recommend those feeling exacerbated and let down by traditional doctors, medicines and other systems to look into Flora.Read full review

Jess DuqueI cannot recommend Dr. Lamoreux enoughI sought his help after struggling with very intense PMDD symptoms for years, and finding no solutions from OGBYNs or PCPs so I wanted to explore a more holistic approach before considering SSRIs, which I viewed as a last resort for myself. From the beginning, what stood out most was not only his extensive knowledge, but also how genuinely invested he was in finding a solution that worked for me.Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Dr. Lamoureux carefully evaluated my symptoms, listened to my concerns, and worked with me through a process of trying different supplements and minor lifestyle adjustments. At each follow up, we reassessed how I was feeling both physically and mentally and adjusted the plan as needed.The results have truly been life changing. Over my last several cycles, I have experienced minimal to no PMDD symptoms, something I honestly never thought would be possible, and for the first time in years...I feel like myself.I have been so impressed with my experience that I have referred and recommended him to both family members and friends. That alone speaks to the level of trust I have in his care.If you are struggling with PMDD or hormonal health concerns, please know that you are not alone and that there ARE options for you. Dr. Lamoreux helped me find answers when I truly thought there might not be any, and I am incredibly grateful for his guidance and support!! CANNOT recommend enoughRead full review

DylanDr. Patel has completely changed my quality of life. I had been struggling with gut issues for about a year and had previously been prescribed medication that seemed to keep making things worse. I had leaky gut and SIBO, and with Dr. Patel’s help, we did a full gut reset. I’m now able to live my life normally again, and my gut health continues to get better. I couldn’t recommend him enough.Read full review

Terry Lynn PurseDr Ronak Patel had been a life saver. He’s the most compassionate doctor I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting .I came to him at a loss and very frustrated with some ongoing unresolved health issues.To make a long story short I felt like my body was working against itself…attacking itself. Infection after infection…never ending antibiotic…I felt like I was living in a state of fight or flight. High cortisol…All while working with a hormone positive breast cancer diagnosis and new hormone blocker meds.He listened, he researched, he studies me and what I could and could not take with my cancer.I would highly recommend Dr. Patel.You won’t regret it.Read full review

Lindsay RiggenbachI can’t say enough great things about Dr. Patel.He has taken a completely different approach to my health by truly looking at the whole picture and focusing on finding the root cause rather than just masking symptoms.

I fully trust him with my health and have already shared his contact with so many friends and family members who are also searching for answers. Highly recommend!Read full review

Hannah GoldwitzDr. Stephenie Pisacano has been absolutely incredible since my very first visit with her. I originally came to her struggling with persistent bloating after eating anything, fatigue, period pain, and a range of other frustrating symptoms that were seriously affecting my daily life. I was feeling drained, uncomfortable, and frustrated with not getting clear answers elsewhere. Through testing and a very thorough approach, she helped get to the root of these issues, and I’ve experienced significant improvement since starting seeing her!What stands out most is how deeply she listens. In the past, I’ve often felt rushed through appointments or like my concerns weren’t fully heard, but Dr. Pisacano is completely different. She takes the time to truly understand everything I’m experiencing and never dismisses any detail.I genuinely feel cared for as a patient, not just treated for symptoms. I’m so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, attentive, and knowledgeable doctor. She has been life changing to me!Read full review

James DI can’t recommend Dr. Patel enough. The way he approaches healing from the inside out is truly unlike any other experience with traditional medicine. He takes the time to find the root cause and address it head on. I learned more about my health in just a few months with Dr. P than I have my entire life. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely cares about his patients, and will take the time to listen and explain things in a way that is easy to understand. I’ve referred multiple friends and family member to him and the Flora practice, and I would highly encourage everyone to work with him.

Jacqueline KaiderI can confidently say finding Dr. Patel at Flora Naturopathics changed my life and I don’t say that lightly.A few years ago, seemingly out of nowhere, my body felt like it had turned against me, even though my lifestyle hadn’t changed and I was already taking good care of myself. I suddenly developed rapid, unexplained weight gain, hair loss, fatigue, brain fog, inconsistent periods, spotting, skin hives, and the return of stubborn acne. I went to every traditional doctor you can imagine (primary care, dermatologist, gynecologist, gastroenterologist, endocrinologist) and all I ever got were prescriptions and dismissive advice. Each visit ended with, “try this pill,” and a focus on my BMI instead of the long list of other symptoms I was experiencing.Then, after discovering holistic and functional medicine on TikTok, something clicked. I spent weeks researching and trying to find a practice near me that was similar to the ones I saw people talk about online. There weren’t many options nearby, and most I found leaned toward traditional wellness practices like acupuncture and yoga, rather than a science-based approach with real testing. Then I came across Flora Naturopathics.I was nervous at first financially investing in something I wasn’t sure would work (especially after being “blown off” by so many other doctors) and not knowing anyone personally who had gone this route. But taking that leap was the best decision I’ve made for my health. During my very first appointment, Dr. Patel spent a full hour (something you rarely get in traditional medicine) truly listening to me. He didn’t dismiss my concerns or rush through my story. He connected the dots between all my symptoms and created a personalized plan for testing that was both thorough and financially mindful.Within just a few months of being tested and getting treated, everything changed. My acne (which I’d battled since age 13 through Accutane, facials, endless creams, spironolactone, etc) finally cleared up. The mysterious weight melted off. My energy came back. And even my lifelong stomach sensitivity issues disappeared. For the first time in years, I felt like myself again.If you’ve been dismissed, brushed off, or told “everything looks normal” when you know something’s not right please go to Flora Naturopathics. They are compassionate, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly care about finding the why behind your symptoms, guiding you toward natural, lasting healing rather than just masking issues with medications. I’ve already referred multiple friends, and I’ll continue recommending them to anyone who wants to actually heal, not just manage symptoms.Read full review

Hena AliDr. Maura was recommended to me by a friend after I shared my frustration with Western medicine and the repeated attempts by doctors to diagnose my daughter with Crohn’s simply because no other diagnosis seemed to fit. After months of dozens of appointments and no clear answers, we were blessed to find Dr. Maura. With just two tests, she identified that my daughter had a repairable leaky gut.If we had not found her, we would have been forced to treat our daughter for a condition she didn’t even have—causing more harm to her body. This problem began in the first place from the overuse and over-diagnosing of antibiotics.One year later, thanks to Dr. Maura’s immediate and proper care, my daughter is healed. We now have a clear plan to sustain her health and prevent future sensitivities. Throughout this journey, Dr. Maura has been consistently available—answering countless emails and phone calls without hesitation.I want to wholeheartedly say thank you. There is no greater joy or peace than knowing your child is healthy, and I am forever grateful for Dr. Maura’s care and guidance.Read full review

Nisha ShahI have been experiencing severe gut issues for the past 2 years. After multiple doctors, programs and various remedies nothing was helping me. I was fortunate to read about Dr. Maura about 4 months ago. Since then has helped me with such a simple approach/plan of natural supplements that have improved my condition 60-70% in just 6 weeks of taking the supplements. And her bedside manner is unbelievable. So kind and gentle and very knowledgeable. I couldn't recommend Dr. Maura more. She is amazing!Read full review

Sarah SteinWorking with Dr. Maura has been such an encouraging and rewarding experience. She is incredibly knowledgeable and receptive. I really appreciate that her protocol was developed after genuinely listening to me, evaluating which biometrics to test, and then analyzing/ explaining the results. She is intelligent and so pleasant to work with. I've worked with other naturopaths (out of pocket care) in the past, but didn't experience the same level of care and attentiveness. She is truly worth it! The results have made an incredible impact on my life and I'm so grateful.Read full review

Naz PournaghshbandMy experience working with Dr. Maura has been everything I had hoped for and more. Prior to meeting with her, I had spent an entire year suffering from awful gut and digestive issues. I met with doctors, specialists, did all the labs, exams, imaging and more - all to be told that "nothing is wrong". I knew my body was telling me otherwise, so when I found my way to naturopathic medicine, and Dr. Maura, I knew this was my only shot at healing.Holistic medicine of any kind takes time (you don't just pop a pill and quick fix things over night), but with Dr. Maura's guidance, knowledge and kindness, I can finally say that I am healed. I feel a bit emotional writing these words, because there was a time when I felt I would never reach this point, but with her help (and my own dedication), I made it!Naturopathic medicine should truly be the norm. The focus is on getting to the ROOT of the problem (which is often multiple things at play) and treating the body, mind and spirit as a WHOLE, not just throwing a band-aid on one thing.I am so excited to have found my way to naturopathic medicine and am grateful to Dr. Maura for her breadth and depth of knowledge and experience in the field. 10/10 recommend!Read full review

Amanda MercurioAfter some stressful life events that impacted my health, I decided to seek naturopathic care and was recommended to see Dr. Stephenie Pisacano from Flora Naturopathics. My care has been top notch, and with her help I've been feeling so much better and truly enjoying the lifestyle and supplementation recommendations that she made for me. Her specialization in gut health in particular was so insightful for what I was going through, and I truly felt like she took great time and care in creating my protocol. The whole practice in general has been so easy to work with, from the online portal & scheduling, to coordinating with the office manager for tests, etc... highly recommend this practice!Read full review

Lucy NystromI have worked with Dr.Pisacano and she is great! She helped me identify a histamine intolerance that had stumped all doctors in the past; even with extensive testing, no one had any idea and she immediately knew what was wrong and starting helping me make changes. She also ran different tests and labs such as DUTCH, gut, and generic SNPS testing. Working with her has really helped me understand the specific needs of my body and how to address underlying health issues and work through them. Highly recommend working with her and her team.Read full review

Dilraj KaurI cannot recommend Dr. Ronak Patel highly enough. From the very first consultation, it was clear that he is incredibly knowledgeable and deeply committed to his patients’ well-being. What truly sets him apart is the time and care he puts into every appointment. He goes through reports line by line, explaining everything in a way that is easy to understand, while also making sure nothing is overlooked.He is exceptionally kind, patient, and attentive. You never feel rushed, and he genuinely listens to your concerns, which makes the entire experience feel very personalized and reassuring. His approach is thoughtful and thorough, combining expertise with a holistic understanding of health.Since working with him, I’ve noticed a remarkable improvement in how I feel overall. My energy levels have increased significantly, and I feel healthier and more balanced than I have in a long time. It’s rare to find someone who not only understands the science so well but also truly cares about helping you feel your best.If you’re looking for a naturopathy doctor who is both highly skilled and genuinely compassionate, he is absolutely outstanding.Read full review

Isabel HotopAfter years of trying functional and conventional medicine, I thought I was doing everything I could to, “fix” my body and live a healthy lifestyle. I was on the brink of thinking that the symptoms I experience was just the way I was and that my body was broken or deficient in some way. Within 3 months, of working with Dr. Patel, everything shifted. My periods were completely regular and symptom free (SYMPTOM FREE!). My anxiety and panic attacks vanished. I stopped getting bloated after eating and more! I am now experiencing a wonderful and healthy pregnancy after working with him. Also, every person I’ve recommended to Dr. Patel has had a similar experience. If you need a sign to try one more time and invest in your health this is it. 10000% worth the financial investment!Read full review

Nikita PatelCannot recommend them enough! I worked with Dr Patel and he really took the time to explain my bloodwork and test results (which no doctor had ever done before). We got to the root of my problem in a very short period of time and I am so grateful! This experience allowed me to understand my body like never before and understand how to make better health decisions for myself for the rest of my life.Read full review

Ted DeMers Jr.Dr. Maura has been an incredible doctor for me, and I have immense gratitude for her work and support to help turn around my health. She is one of the best doctors you can find. I started working with her about a little more than a year ago, after dealing with a whole host of health issues that had me in a place of struggling to function on a day-to-day basis. Prior to our first meeting, I was in so much discomfort and pain that I couldn't keep up with my kids, I was struggling with getting through workdays and I couldn’t exercise at all. I had been bouncing from one doctor to the next, in complete frustration with the lack of answers, support, knowledge, and the reality that I was not improving. I was also dealing with numerous side effects from high dosed prescribed medications. Dr Maura is an expert, by far the most intelligent and thorough doctor I have ever worked with, and I have worked with a lot of them. Her comprehensive approach in testing and treating over the last year has been a life changer for me. I have never felt better, and my health has dramatically improved since we started working together. I have gone from barely functioning to being back in the gym, exercising every day and now running with my kids. Her knowledge, expertise and access to specialized testing and utilization of regular bloodwork has been so helpful to understand what is happening, to identify issues and to fix and optimize the issues and different levels as needed. While working with a functional medicine/naturopathic doctor is not covered by insurance, the majority of my bloodwork has been covered, and she has done well to help that. Dr. Maura has gone above and beyond for me in becoming my primary doctor and her office staff (Shelli) is always helpful and friendly in communicating, scheduling, getting lab forms. My wife is now a patient, and I have referred numerous friends to see her and her practice as well.Read full review

Fiori LaFeminaI am so very fortunate to have been recommended to Dr. Patel. I started seeing Dr. Patel because I hadn’t had a period in 3 years( I’m currently 36). After multiple doctors telling me that my labs were “normal” and “it’s completely ok” to not have a period, I knew I needed to change where & who I was seeking medical advice from.My first appointment with Dr. Patel was super informative. For the first time I FELT HEARD. After completing my bloodwork, DUTCH test, & GI map, Dr. Patel started me on a handful of supplements & vitamins to support & heal my gut, thyroid & liver. From just those few supplements, I felt like a brand new person. The brain fog that I lived with every single day (which I thought was normal) was completely gone. My days were filled with endless energy & mental clarity. My digestion had also improved too. AND the best part… within just about 1 month, ONE MONTH, my period returned.I truly look forward to continuing my healing journey with Dr. Patel. His care & knowledge is living proof of how well our bodies can heal within the world of holistic careRead full review

Caitlin TamI have been working with Dr Patel for the last six months after becoming frustrated with traditional doctors invalidating the stomach issues I was experiencing. Dr Patel listened to my concerns and prescribed several at home tests to get to the root of the problem. With his plan of supplements to repair my gut and regulate my hormones, I have seen profound improvements in my inflammation levels and general well being. I highly recommend Dr Patel!Read full review

Lydia MolinaDr. Patel has literally saved my life! From the moment we had the initial consultation, I felt welcomed and cared for. He takes the time to explain every single detail about your health in a way that is clear, empowering, and unlike anything I’ve experienced with other doctors.After seeing a conventional GI doctor for a while and not getting better, I decided to seek a holistic approach and found Dr. Patel. He identified and addressed the underlying issues in my gut, helping to remove harmful bacteria and now guiding me through gut repair. His holistic approach, expertise, and genuine care have made all the difference in my health and quality of life. Forever grateful!Read full review

Allegra SeidlerI started seeing Dr. Patel in July, and he has helped me address issues that have been ignored (and even denied) by numerous MDs throughout my adult life. He is patient, kind, extremely knowledgeable, and truly concerned with/focused on getting to the root cause(s) of health problems. He spent time listening, recognized my concerns, and affirmed them. Through detailed analysis of recommended labs, combined with my medical history, and current symptoms, he was able to identify the causes. Now, only four months later, I have none of the issues I had been dealing with for years. My one regret is not seeing him sooner. Thank you SO much, Dr. Patel!Read full review
