A woman’s hormones fluctuate as part of her natural reproductive cycle. In some women, imbalances during the cycle can produce symptoms that can adversely affect her functioning at certain periods of the month. As women progress towards menopause, the loss of hormones such as progesterone and estrogen can significantly impact daily functioning.
By the time a woman hits menopause and loses the hormones her ovaries used to produce, many women experience significant physiological symptoms such as hot flashes, headaches, dizziness, and an overall state of feeling fatigued and unwell. This loss of hormones also puts women at risk of other chronic conditions including increased risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, bowel cancer, depression, anxiety, and memory changes.
At Root Cause IPM, hormone optimization can help alleviate symptoms and improve a woman’s general sense of well-being. A careful review of your symptoms and blood work will help us develop a plan of care that is personalized to your specific needs.
