Naturopathic Hormonal Health Assessment

With so many factors that can contribute to hormone health it can be confusing to know where to start. In this focused hormone health assessment we will evaluate contributing factors like chronic stress, environmental toxins, prescription medication, sleep, diet, genetics, and more.

Symptoms that may indicate hormone dysregulation include:

  • Changes in mood such as anxiety, depression or irritability

  • Constantly feeling overwhelmed

The hormone health assessment is a comprehensive look at your overall health to uncover the mystery around the symptoms you’ve been experiencing.

This is the initial step of your assessment and includes a 1-hour initial visit (virtual or in-person) to review your unique history, including your medical history, a review of sleep, activity, nutrition, lifestyle, stressors and more. The assessment may also include a physical exam.  We’ll be uncovering some of the possible sources of your symptoms including blood sugar dysregulation, sex-hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, digestive issues, and other sources of inflammation.
