Are my hormones out of balance?
Hormones are chemical messengers, and they answer to the systems around them — sleep, stress, blood sugar, body composition, and thyroid function. When cycles change, energy swings, mood shifts, or symptoms cluster around perimenopause or menopause, we start by measuring rather than guessing: comprehensive blood work plus a careful history usually shows which system is driving the imbalance.
Common signs of hormone balance trouble.
- Cycle changes, PMS, or perimenopausal symptoms
- Hot flashes or night sweats
- Mood swings that track a monthly pattern
- Low libido
- Stubborn weight change around the middle
- Sleep disruption
Where the problem usually lives.
- 01
Blood sugar & insulin
Insulin is a master hormone; when it runs high, sex-hormone balance shifts with it.
- 02
Thyroid involvement
Thyroid and sex hormones are tightly linked — many 'hormone' complaints trace back to thyroid pace.
- 03
Stress load
Chronic stress reroutes hormonal resources and disrupts sleep, appetite, and cycles.
- 04
Body composition
Fat tissue is hormonally active; composition changes change the hormonal math.
Measured, not guessed.
Comprehensive blood work analysis
Thyroid panel, insulin, HbA1c, lipids, vitamin D, and inflammation markers establish the metabolic terrain hormones operate in.
Body composition testing
Muscle-to-fat ratio and cellular health markers add context labs alone can't give.
Detailed history
Cycle history, sleep, stress, and life stage — pattern recognition matters as much as numbers.
A personalized plan — built on your results.
- Nutrition that steadies insulin — the hormone you can influence at every meal
- Targeted supplement guidance where labs support it
- Stress and sleep structure with specific targets
- Retesting on a schedule so changes are verified
How long until I feel better?
Every plan is written for one person, so timelines differ — but the pattern is consistent: a thorough first visit, testing within the first week or two, a results review where the plan is set, and a re-check of both symptoms and labs after a defined stretch of care. Chronic patterns that took years to build usually take months, not days, to change. What you should expect at every step is a clear explanation of what we found and why the plan says what it says.
Straight answers, in plain language.
Do you prescribe hormone replacement therapy?
No — as a chiropractic and functional medicine practice we don't prescribe medication. We focus on the measurable, modifiable terrain (blood sugar, thyroid context, nutrition, stress, body composition) and coordinate with your physician on medical management.
What's the first step for menopause or perimenopause support?
A comprehensive blood panel and an honest history. Knowing your thyroid, insulin, vitamin D, and inflammation status turns 'hormones are off' into a specific, addressable list. Book a visit or review labs virtually.
