Hormone Balance
Hormones are an enormous and often overlooked reason for illness and disease. Hormones are the messengers that direct all the chemical reactions (metabolism) in your body that are essential for life. We would not be able to survive without hormones. Balancing hormones is critical to your health and yet many people are living in disharmony with their natural biorhythms which are controlled by hormones. We depend on them to keep us in a healthy balance, but the fact is they are running haywire in many people.
It becomes easy to understand why so many Americans are sick, tired, overweight, and depressed when we look at their hormone lab tests in our clinic every day. So, how do you know if they are in or out of balance?
Test! Don’t Guess! The only way to know is to test them. Some are best tested in the blood, some in the saliva, it just depends on which hormone. But testing is just one important step.
The second important step is to ask how the tests are interpreted. In Functional Medicine, our lab ranges are based on healthy ranges as opposed to the conventional medical system whose lab ranges are not.
If you feel that something is ‘out of balance’ and you just don’t feel right- ask about how we’ve helped so many people balance their hormones and get back to feeling great, sleeping great, and having energy again!
