Men’s Health & Hormones

As men age testosterone levels naturally begin to decline and estrogen levels rise. Men often attribute symptoms such as decreased libido to natural signs of aging, which in fact, could be hormone imbalances between estrogen and testosterone. Low testosterone can affect more than just your personal relationships; it can also compromise your body's muscle strength, bone density, and mood. Our expert Naturopathic Doctors dedicate themselves to helping you create a safe and effective treatment plan to regulate your body's changing hormone levels.

Women’s Health & Hormones

Many women experience a broad range of difficulties when their body is struggling to produce proper levels of hormones. Imbalances can affect women's fertility, cause premenstrual syndrome (PMS), lead to chronic conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and increase menopausal symptoms. Hormone imbalances frequently induce symptoms that present as changes in mood, sugar cravings, fatigue, pain, hot flashes, and sleep problems. Through natural hormone replacement alternatives, our licensed Naturopathic Doctors can help you develop an individualized treatment plan to assist with these conditions.

How Does Hormone Therapy Work?

At Nature & Science Medicine our expert staff is dedicated to offering you options that meet your needs while developing a preventative treatment plan that works on finding and addressing the underlying cause of your hormonal imbalances.

Our licensed Naturopathic Doctors utilize conventional laboratory testing and patient communication to identify imbalances and deficiencies in your endocrine system. It is essential to find the underlying imbalance, remove any obstacles preventing normal hormone production levels, and returning the body to a healthy, balanced state.

The endocrine system is made up of many glands throughout the body that create and produce hormones. Each endocrine gland plays a unique function in the body. However, these actions overlap and impact one another also. Working in harmony, these glands produce the adequate levels of specific hormones that communicate with the rest of the body’s systems to react appropriately. When one gland is overactive or underperforming, other glands are affected as a result. When there are miscommunications in this system, it sets off a chain reaction that may interrupt the body’s natural flow of health and healing. When parts of your endocrine system are not functioning properly, you most likely will feel sick or fatigued. Chronic fatigue is a common symptom of hormonal imbalances. See your doctor if you feel extremely fatigued, experience insomnia, or have other unexplained symptoms.

After identifying the underlying cause of your symptoms, our team can provide treatment options and lifestyle changes that can drastically reduce symptoms by solving the underlying issues.

Naturopathic Doctors strive to treat hormone-related illnesses with the least invasive methods first. Some of the safest and most effective hormone balancing remedies are diet and nutritional therapies.
