Maintaining optimal body function and promoting healthy aging requires proper hormone balance. Our hormones play an integral part in determining our overall health. From the infant stage to late adulthood our endocrine system is in charge of secreting hormones that play key roles in supporting proper growth and development, a healthy metabolism, cellular regeneration, promoting rest and sleep and creating a balanced internal system which allows the body to heal. Hormone balance becomes altered by the complexities of life, our fast pace of living, processed foods, stress, aging and an increase in environmental toxins. All of these stressors in both women and men can accelerate the aging process, create illness and impact quality of life.

At Naturopathic Vitality Wellness Center we provide clinical assessments and hormone testing to assess hormone levels for both women and men that seek to understand one’s current hormone function. Hormonal imbalances commonly lead to weight gain, loss of muscle tone, fatigue, lack of motivation, depression, anxiety, immune system dysfunction, sleep changes, night sweats, bone loss, heart disease, low libido and memory problems. When assessing endocrine health all hormones are assessed, including adrenal glands, thyroid, and male/female sex hormones. Individualized treatment plans are developed to address hormone balancing. Treatment plans incorporate dietary changes, herbal, homeopathic and nutritional supplementation and when appropriate natural hormone replacement therapy. Natural hormone replacement therapy commonly known as “Bio-HRT” has many delivery methods including oral, sublingual, transdermal and through pellet implants. Treatments are individualized to match each patient’s needs. Safety markers are assessed prior to initiating any hormone therapy.
