BALANCE —
THYROID, ADRENAL + HORMONES
The health and function of your thyroid, adrenals, and hormones are all interrelated. If you're constantly under stress, feeling anxious or irritable, having difficulty focusing on the task at hand, experiencing brain fog, and feeling either stressed-and-wired or stressed-and-tired all too often, you'll want to give attention to identifying the root cause(s) of these imbalances and optimizing their function. Whether you are currently taking medication and looking for complementary therapy or you are looking to wean off or never start, nutritional supplementation and a quality-focused, nourishing diet can play a significant role in balancing neurotransmitters and mood.
When the stress response of the body, the sympathetic fight or flight reactive mode is in overdrive, often the body’s parasympathetic rest-digest-reproduce regulatory mode is thrown off. Sexual hormone imbalance can be due to excess demand in the body’s hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis from chronic stress or anxiety. Symptoms (what the body displays) of an imbalanced HPA axis may include heavy periods and cramping, infertility, and/or amenorrhea (in women) and erectile dysfunction (in men). Beyond the stress-hormone connection, conditions such as PCOS, estrogen dominance, and acne can be improved significantly or resolved with food-as-medicine, a ketogenic diet (nutritional ketosis), and high-quality nutritional supplementation.
Below you'll find my recommended programs, supplements, and advanced functional labs to help you achieve your thyroid, adrenal, and hormone health goals!
