Hormonal health
Hormones are your body’s chemical messengers – telling your organs, skin, muscles and other tissues what to do and when.
Hormonal balance is delicate, and the slightest disruption can manifest as unwanted symptoms.
Some hormonal fluctuations are an expected part of life –puberty, the menstrual cycle, perimenopause and menopause. These events come hand in hand with symptoms, but it doesn’t mean you have to endure the symptoms. There are solutions.
What are the symptoms of hormonal imbalance?
We have over 50 hormones in our body – which control all the systems of our body – from digestion, to reproduction and your nervous system.
Because our hormones control all our functions, symptoms of hormonal imbalance can vary widely.
Some of the most common include sudden weight fluctuations, menstrual cycle irregularities, mood changes, digestive problems like constipation or diarrhoea, and difficulty sleeping.
Causes of hormonal imbalance include stress, dietary factors, thyroid health, certain medications, toxins and more.
Hormonal medication may provide a quick fix, but this comes hand in hand with many side effects.
These treatments neglect to address hormonal imbalance at their root cause; only providing a temporary band aid.
No two hormonal imbalances look the same, so shouldn’t be treated the same.
Our naturopaths seek out the root cause of your condition to treat your hormonal imbalance effectively.
Our naturopaths are your first port of call. They complete a comprehensive check of your medical history, current symptoms and lifestyle to understand all the internal and external factors at play.
Using industry-leading tests, they identify hormonal imbalances to give them a crystal-clear view on the treatment plan that will alleviate your symptoms. They may support your hormonal health further with an attainable food plan.
Mental health influences your endocrine system, raising stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which affect your body’s function. Our counsellors and psychotherapists offer a space for you to work through any issues causing you stress.
Osteopathy supports healthy lymphatic drainage – which eliminates excess hormones, toxins and waste products, which otherwise may remain circulating in your lymph. Our osteopaths also help you move with ease - a sedentary lifestyle is a key factor in poor hormonal health.
Our TCM and acupuncturists rebalance your energy, clearing blockages for healthy hormonal function. It’s particularly good for women’s hormonal health – relieving symptoms of PMS, menopause and pregnancy.
