Hormone imbalance.
Hormones touch energy, sleep, mood, weight, cycles, and recovery. When one is off, others usually are too.
It's all connected.
Hormone imbalance is a broad term covering shifts in estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, cortisol, and insulin. Symptoms cluster in patterns we recognize: irritable in the second half of your cycle, exhausted by mid-afternoon, sleep disrupted at 3am, weight that won't shift despite the same routine.
Standard care often treats one hormone at a time. Naturopathic care maps the whole system so we can address the pattern, not just one piece.
How patients describe it.
- Mood shifts around your cycle (PMS or PMDD)
- Sleep disruption, especially 2-4am wake-ups
- Stubborn weight, especially around the middle
- Brain fog, low motivation, low libido
- Hot flashes or night sweats
- Cycle changes (length, flow, symptoms)
Your endocrine system is like a symphony. No single hormone performs alone, each one influences the others. True hormone health comes from helping the entire orchestra play in harmony. Dr. Abbie Siudzinski, ND
How we work through it.
We map your hormones across days and weeks, not just a single snapshot. DUTCH panels show how hormones move through metabolism. Salivary cortisol shows your daily curve.
From there, the plan addresses the upstream drivers: thyroid, adrenal, gut function, nutrient status, and lifestyle factors that move hormones.
Tests we typically use here.
The specific panels depend on your situation. These are the most common ones for hormone imbalances.
