Hormones

Hormones are essential chemical messengers produced by glands that regulate key bodily functions, including growth, metabolism, mood, reproduction, and stress response. When hormones are in balance, the body functions smoothly.

Naturopathic doctors work to identify and address the underlying causes of hormonal issues through comprehensive lab testing and assessments. Treatment plans are personalized and often include dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes, supplements and acupuncture if needed. By optimizing hormone production and metabolism, the goal is to provide sustainable, long-term solutions that enhance overall health and well-being.

However, even minor disruptions can lead to significant symptoms in areas including the following:
