Treating Hormone Imbalances

Hormones play a critical role in almost every function of your body. From regulating your energy levels to supporting your mood and even controlling your sleep patterns, these chemical messengers help keep everything in balance. When your hormones fall out of sync, it can affect your health, quality of life, and longevity in significant ways.

Hormonal imbalances are common, especially as we age. They can cause symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, and much more. But the good news is that these imbalances can be addressed if you find the right provider to listen to you, evaluate, test, and make a comprehensive treatment plan specifically individualized to your needs.

At Nourish House Calls, we take a whole-body approach to hormone health. We combine advanced testing, like DUTCH and comprehensive bloodwork, with personalized treatment plans that include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, lifestyle changes, and targeted supplements. Our goal is to help you restore your balance so you can feel your best again.

In this post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about hormone imbalances, including:

• What hormones are and how they work
• Why hormonal balance is important
• The symptoms of hormonal imbalances
• Common hormone-related disorders
• How hormone levels change during menopause
• Why we prefer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)
• Lifestyle changes that can improve hormone balance
• The Nourish House Calls approach to balancing hormones

By understanding the root causes of hormonal imbalances and how to treat them, you can take control of your health and start feeling better. Let’s dive in!

What Are Hormones?

Hormones are chemical messengers in the body. They control many important functions, like growth, metabolism, mood, and reproduction. Hormones travel through the bloodstream to help different organs communicate and work together. When hormone levels are balanced, your body functions smoothly. When they’re out of balance, you can experience a range of health issues.

Here’s a closer look at some key hormones:

Estrogen

Estrogen is the main female sex hormone, but men have small amounts too. It plays a major role in reproductive health, bone strength, cognition, and mood. There are three types of estrogen:

• Estrone (E1): This is the main estrogen found in women after menopause.
• Estradiol (E2): The most active form of estrogen during a woman’s reproductive years. It helps with menstruation, pregnancy, and bone health.
• Estriol (E3): This form is mostly produced during pregnancy and helps support the growth of the baby, but is also necessary outside of pregnancy for things like vaginal lubrication.

Progesterone

Progesterone is another important hormone for women’s health, especially during pregnancy and menstruation. It prepares the uterus for a fertilized egg and helps maintain a pregnancy (progesterone = pro-gestation). If a fertilized egg isn’t implanted into the uterine lining, progesterone levels drop, triggering menstruation. This hormone also supports sleep, mood (specifically anxiety), and brain function.

Testosterone

Though testosterone is known as the “male” hormone, it’s important for women too. It helps maintain muscle strength, bone density, and libido. In men, testosterone is critical for sperm production and many other aspects of a male’s health. Both men and women need balanced levels for energy and mental clarity, though adult women generally need around 100 times less than adult men.

DHEA

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone made by the adrenal glands. It helps produce other hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. DHEA plays a role in boosting immune function, decreasing inflammation, modulating cortisol and blood sugar levels, improving mood, and supporting bone and muscle health. As we age, DHEA levels naturally decline, which can impact overall vitality.

Cortisol and Cortisone

Cortisol and cortisone are the active and stored forms of a stress hormone produced by the adrenal glands. They help the body respond to stress, control blood sugar levels, and manage inflammation. Cortisol is often called the “fight or flight” hormone because it kicks in during stressful situations. Cortisone, a less active form of cortisol, helps reduce inflammation and regulate immune responses.

Balancing these hormones is key to feeling your best. When one or more are out of balance, it can lead to fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, and more. One way I like to think about this symphony or hormones is like a spider web: if you move just one node on that spider web, the whole thing moves (is affected).

Hormonal Balance

Hormonal balance is crucial for your overall health. When your hormones are in balance, your body works like it should. Every major system in your body relies on proper hormone levels to function well. But when hormones are out of balance, even small changes can lead to big problems, sometimes spiraling more out of control unless it is skillfully addressed.

Why Is Hormonal Balance Important?

Hormones control many key functions in your body. When they’re balanced, you feel energetic, focused, and healthy. When they’re out of balance, you may feel tired, moody, or unwell. Proper hormone balance helps:

• Regulate energy levels
• Control mood and emotions
• Support reproductive health
• Maintain healthy weight
• Keep bones and muscles strong
• Boost mental clarity and focus

What Bodily Functions Depend on Hormonal Balance?

Several important body systems rely on hormones to stay in balance. Here are some key functions that depend on healthy hormone levels:

• Metabolism: Hormones help control how your body uses food for energy. A balanced metabolism keeps you from gaining or losing too much weight (particularly fat, muscle, and fluid).
• Sleep: Hormones like melatonin help regulate sleep cycles. Balanced hormone levels ensure you get restful sleep and feel refreshed, and ensure proper detoxification and growth hormone production. 
• Reproductive Health: Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are key for fertility, sexual health, and libido.
• Bone and Muscle Health: Hormones like testosterone and DHEA support strong bones and muscles, especially as you age.
• Mood and Stress Response: Hormones like cortisol help manage stress and keep your mood stable. Too much or too little can lead to anxiety, depression, or feeling overwhelmed.
• Immune System: Hormones play a role in keeping your immune system strong. Balanced hormones help your body fight off illness and stay healthy.

When your hormones are in balance, you feel better, sleep better, and stay healthier. Keeping your hormones balanced is one of the keys to a long, vibrant life.

Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance

Hormonal imbalances can cause a wide range of symptoms that affect your daily life. Each hormone has a specific role in the body, so too much or too little of any hormone can cause different problems. Below are common symptoms linked to specific hormone imbalances.

Low Estrogens

Estrogen plays a key role in women’s health, and low levels can cause:

• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Vaginal dryness
• Irregular or missed periods
• Low libido
• Mood swings, irritability,  or depression
• Difficulty concentrating (brain fog)
• Bone loss or increased risk of osteoporosis
• Joint and muscle pains

High Estrogens

Having too much estrogen in the body can lead to:

• Weight gain, especially around the hips and thighs
• Bloating or water retention
• Heavy or irregular periods
• Breast tenderness

• Excess facial or body hair (in women)
• Aggression or irritability
• Irregular periods (in women)

Low Cortisol

Cortisol is a stress hormone. When levels are too low, it can cause:

• Fatigue, especially in the morning
• Difficulty handling stress
• Cravings for salty foods
• Low blood pressure
• Unexplained weight loss
• Depression or anxiety
• Dizziness upon standing

High Cortisol

Excess cortisol, often due to chronic stress, may cause:

• Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
• Trouble sleeping (insomnia)
• Anxiety or irritability
• High blood pressure
• Increased blood sugar levels
• Frequent infections (weakened immune system)

Adrenal Fatigue

Adrenal fatigue happens when the adrenal glands can’t keep up with chronic stress. Symptoms include:

• Feeling constantly tired, even after rest
• Trouble waking up in the morning
• Cravings for salty or sugary foods
• Difficulty concentrating (brain fog)
• Low blood pressure
• Lightheadedness or dizziness when standing up
• Decreased ability to handle stress
• Weak immune system (getting sick often)

Recognizing these symptoms can help you understand if your hormones are out of balance and when it’s time to seek help.

Hormone Disorders

Hormone disorders happen when your body produces too much or too little of certain hormones. These imbalances can affect your mood, energy, weight, and overall health. Here are some common hormone-related disorders.

Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormone. This slows down your metabolism and can cause symptoms like:

• Fatigue or sluggishness
• Weight gain
• Dry skin and hair
• Sensitivity to cold
• Constipation
• Depression or low mood
• Joint pain

Hyperthyroidism

Hyperthyroidism is the opposite of hypothyroidism. In this condition, the thyroid makes too much hormone, speeding up your metabolism. Symptoms may include:

• Rapid heartbeat or palpitations
• Weight loss, even with increased appetite
• Anxiety or nervousness
• Sweating or feeling hot
• Trembling hands
• Trouble sleeping (insomnia)
• Diarrhea

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

PCOS is a hormone disorder that affects women of reproductive age. It’s often linked to high levels of testosterone and insulin resistance. Common symptoms include:

• Irregular or absent periods
• Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
• Excess facial or body hair (hirsutism)
• Acne or oily skin
• Difficulty getting pregnant
• Hair thinning on the scalp
• Mood swings or depression

Adrenal Insufficiency (Addison’s Disease)

Adrenal insufficiency happens when the adrenal glands don’t produce enough cortisol and sometimes aldosterone. This can lead to serious symptoms, such as:

• Extreme fatigue or weakness
• Weight loss or low appetite
• Low blood pressure
• Salt cravings
• Low blood sugar
• Dizziness or fainting
• Darkened skin in some areas

Cushing’s Syndrome

Cushing’s syndrome occurs when your body has too much cortisol, often due to long-term steroid use or a problem with the adrenal glands. Symptoms include:

• Weight gain, especially around the abdomen and face
• A round, puffy face (often called a “moon face”)
• Thin skin that bruises easily
• Purple stretch marks
• High blood pressure
• Bone loss (osteoporosis)
• Muscle weakness

Diabetes

Diabetes is a hormone disorder involving insulin, a hormone that helps control blood sugar levels. There are two main types:

• Type 1 Diabetes: The body doesn’t produce insulin. Symptoms include extreme thirst, frequent urination, and sudden weight loss.
• Type 2 Diabetes: The body doesn’t use insulin properly (insulin resistance). Symptoms include fatigue, blurred vision, and slow healing of cuts or infections.

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)

PMS and PMDD are related to hormonal changes in the menstrual cycle. PMS is common, while PMDD is a more severe form. Symptoms may include:

• Bloating or weight gain
• Mood swings or irritability
• Fatigue or sleep issues
• Breast tenderness
• Headaches (even migraines)
• Anxiety or depression (more severe with PMDD)

Hormone disorders can have a big impact on your quality of life, but many can be managed or treated with proper care. If you think you have a hormone disorder, it’s important to talk to a healthcare professional.

Hormones and Menopause

As women age, their hormone levels naturally change. Menopause marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years, but the hormonal shifts actually begin during a phase called perimenopause. This period can last several years and leads up to menopause, when a woman’s menstrual cycles permanently stop.

Hormonal Shifts During Perimenopause

Perimenopause is the time when hormone levels start to fluctuate, usually beginning in a woman’s 40s but sometimes earlier. During this time, estrogen and progesterone levels can swing up and down. These fluctuations can lead to various symptoms, such as:

• Irregular periods: Cycles may become longer, shorter, heavier, or lighter.
• Hot flashes and night sweats: Sudden feelings of warmth and sweating are common.
• Mood swings: Hormonal changes can affect mood, leading to irritability, anxiety, or depression.
• Sleep problems: Falling asleep or staying asleep can become difficult.
• Fatigue: Low energy and feeling tired are common as hormone levels shift.
• Decreased libido: A lower sex drive may be linked to declining estrogen and testosterone.
• Joint and muscle problems: arthritis, frozen shoulder, and other muscle or joint issues can pop up more commonly during perimenopause because of the hormone shifts.

These changes can feel disruptive, and while they are a common part of the transition to menopause, you don’t have to just suffer through them (as you may have been told by other providers). There is help – read on!

Hormonal Shifts After Menopause

Menopause officially begins when a woman has gone 12 months without a period, usually around age 50. After menopause, estrogen and progesterone levels remain low. This drop in hormones can lead to new symptoms or make some existing ones worse:

• Vaginal dryness: Low estrogen can cause thinning of vaginal tissues, leading to discomfort during sex, urinary tract infections UITIs), and vaginal infections like bacterial vaginosis (BV) or yeast infections.
• Bone loss: Estrogen plays a key role in keeping bones strong. After menopause, women are at a higher risk for osteoporosis.
• Increased risk of heart disease: Estrogen helps protect the heart. Lower levels after menopause can raise the risk of cardiovascular issues.
• Weight gain: Many women experience weight gain, especially around the abdomen, after menopause due to slower metabolism and hormone changes.
• Skin and hair changes: Thinning hair and dry skin can occur as estrogen declines.

Managing Hormonal Changes During and After Menopause

These hormonal shifts can impact many areas of life, but there are ways to manage the symptoms AND promote longevity. Some common treatments include:

• Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT): This therapy uses hormones that are identical to those your body naturally produces to restore balance. They are prescription medications that are individualized in dose to your specific needs. 
• Lifestyle changes: Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and stress management can help improve symptoms.
• Supplements: Certain vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin D, B vitamins, and minerals can support bone health and overall well-being.

Understanding these hormonal changes can help women make informed choices about how to manage symptoms and maintain their health during and after menopause.

Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) or Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT) is a common treatment for the symptoms of hormone imbalances, especially during and after menopause. It helps replenish and optimize hormones that your body no longer produces at sufficient levels. This therapy can ease symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness while also helping to protect against long-term issues such as bone loss.

Types of Hormone Replacement Therapy

There are two main types of hormone replacement therapy:

• Conventional HRT: This involves synthetic hormones that mimic estrogen and progesterone. These hormones are typically derived from sources like horse urine (Premarin) and are designed to relieve menopausal symptoms.
• Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT): BHRT uses hormones that are chemically identical to those produced naturally by your body. Some, but not all of these are derived from plant sources.

Why We Prefer Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

At our practice, we prefer Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) because it offers several advantages over conventional HRT:

• Natural match to your body: Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as the hormones your body naturally produces. This makes them easier for your body to recognize, use, and metabolize/excrete.
• Fewer side effects: Because bioidentical hormones are a closer match to your body’s own hormones, many people experience fewer side effects compared to synthetic hormones.
• Personalized treatment: BHRT is often customized to meet your specific needs. Your hormone levels can be tested, and the therapy is tailored to restore balance based on your body’s individual requirements.
• Better symptom relief: Many women find that BHRT provides more effective relief from symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances.
• Long-term health benefits: In addition to symptom relief, BHRT can help protect against osteoporosis, heart disease, dementia, and other conditions linked to low hormone levels.

By choosing BHRT, we aim to provide a natural, effective, and personalized approach to managing hormone imbalances during menopause and beyond.

Lifestyle Changes to Improve Hormone Balance

Maintaining hormone balance isn’t just about treatment; it also involves making healthy lifestyle changes. By focusing on good nutrition, sleep, exercise, stress management, and correcting nutrient imbalances, you can help your body keep hormones in check.

Nutrition

What you eat plays a huge role in your hormone health. A balanced diet can support proper hormone production and reduce the risk of imbalances. Here are some nutrition tips:

• Prioritize protein: Protein helps regulate hunger hormones and maintain muscle mass. Include lean meats, eggs, and plant-based proteins like beans and lentils.
• Eat plenty of healthy fats: Fats from sources like avocados, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish (like salmon) are essential for hormone production.
• Limit sugar and refined carbs: High sugar and processed foods can lead to insulin imbalances and weight gain, which negatively affect your hormones.
• Eat fiber-rich foods: Fiber from fruits and vegetables helps to maintain hormone balance by supporting digestive health and stabilizing blood sugar.
• Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps flush out toxins and supports overall hormone regulation.

Sleep

Getting enough quality sleep is crucial for hormone balance. Poor sleep can disrupt hormones that control hunger, stress, and mood. Here’s how to improve your sleep:

• Stick to a regular sleep schedule: Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on weekends.
• Create a relaxing bedtime routine: This can include activities like reading, meditating, or taking a warm bath to help your body wind down.
• Limit screen time before bed: The blue light from phones and computers can interfere with your body’s production of melatonin, the sleep hormone.
• Create a sleep-friendly environment: Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet to improve sleep quality.

Exercise

Regular physical activity is a great way to support healthy hormone levels. Exercise helps reduce stress hormones, balance insulin levels, and boost feel-good hormones like endorphins. Here are some tips for staying active:

• Incorporate strength training: Weightlifting or bodyweight exercises help build muscle and boost metabolism, which can improve hormone balance.
• Get regular cardio: Activities like walking, jogging, or cycling improve heart health and reduce excess weight, which is linked to hormone imbalances. 
• Try mind-body exercises: Yoga and Pilates can help lower stress levels and promote overall well-being, which benefits your hormones.
• Don’t overdo it: Too much intense exercise can actually cause stress hormones like cortisol to spike, so aim for a balanced workout routine. Listen to your body – after a workout, do you feel energized or tanked? You should feel energized (if your energy tanks, then the exercise was too strenuous).  

Stress Management

Chronic stress is a major cause of hormone imbalances, particularly high cortisol levels. Managing stress is key to keeping hormones in check. Here are some ways to reduce stress:

• Practice mindfulness or meditation: Taking just a few minutes each day to focus on your breath can reduce cortisol levels and help you stay calm.
• Try deep breathing exercises: Breathing deeply can lower stress hormones and promote relaxation.
• Prioritize self-care: Make time for activities you enjoy, such as reading, gardening, or spending time with loved ones.
• Limit caffeine and alcohol: Both of these can increase stress and disrupt your sleep, which can lead to hormone imbalances.
• Learn to let go where you can – There are certain things we need to worry about. And certain things we just don’t! Consider how you can reframe or even let go of stressors or problems you encounter, especially things that are out of your control.

Vitamin and Nutrient Levels – Test and Treat for Imbalances

Vitamins and minerals are essential for hormone production and regulation. Deficiencies in key nutrients can contribute to hormone imbalances. It’s important to test for and treat nutrient deficiencies:

• Get tested: Have your healthcare provider test your vitamin and nutrient levels, including vitamin D, magnesium, B vitamins, zinc, and amino acids.
• Correct deficiencies: If tests show imbalances, work with your prescriber to develop a plan for improving your nutrient intake through diet and supplements.
• Take the right supplements: If needed, supplement with high-quality vitamins and minerals to support your hormone health. Some common supplements for hormone balance include:
  • Vitamin D: Supports bone health and regulates mood.
  • B Vitamins – supports hundreds of different reactions in the body. Always make sure you’re looking for methylated versions of these.
  • Magnesium: Helps reduce stress, relieve constipation, and improve sleep quality.
  • Omega-3 fatty acids: Supports brain health and reduces inflammation, which can help balance hormones.
  • Zinc: Plays a role in reproductive hormone health and supports the immune system.

Toxin Avoidance – get rid of toxic substances in your household 

• Cleaning products
  • Dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, fabric softeners, floor/toilet/counter cleaners are all major sources of toxins, many of which are hormone disruptors. 
  • Start identifying these products in your home, and switching them out for products that won’t cause health problems.
• Scented products
  • Whenever anything smells, it’s because there are particles entering your nose, and signaling your brain through the olfactory system. We want to avoid the chemical particles and use natural ones to add any smell to our homes or bodies. 
  • Instead of air fresheners, candles, plug ins, sprays, or reed diffusers containing chemicals (the most commonly found ones), look for those that use essential oils as the source of the scent. Not only are these free of chemicals, the often have positive therapeutic effects as well!
• Personal care products
  • Women are exposed to these products daily. From our morning and evening skin care routines to products we use in the shower, or to make ourselves smell “good,” toxins are hiding everywhere. 
  • Look for products without fragrance or perfumes, and without parabens and phthalates a start. 
• Yard/lawn care products
  • Glyphosate and other chemicals cause big problems, especially in the intestines, where our gut microbiome gets disrupted as a result of exposure. The health of the gut is directly connected to hormone health, brain health, heart health, dental health…and on and on. You get the picture. 
• What can you do?
  • It’s overwhelming! Make it simpler by downloading free apps to help determine what products are the cleanest. I like the EWG Healthy Living app and the Think Dirty app. You can even scan your products at home or ones in the stores, and get an immediate number, giving you a rating on the product right there.

By focusing on these lifestyle changes, you can improve your hormone balance naturally and support long-term health.

The Nourish House Calls Approach to Balancing Hormones

At Nourish House Calls, we believe that achieving hormone balance requires a thoughtful, personalized approach. We don’t rely on a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, we prioritize deep understanding, comprehensive testing, and individualized care to help you feel your best. Here’s what makes our approach different:

“Test, Don’t Guess”

We don’t make assumptions about your hormone levels or symptoms. At Nourish House Calls, we always “test, don’t guess.” This means using advanced testing to get a clear picture of what’s happening inside your body. By understanding your unique hormonal landscape, we can create a tailored treatment plan that works for you.

DUTCH Testing (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones)

One of the most accurate and comprehensive ways to assess your hormones is through DUTCH testing. This dried urine test measures:

• Estrogen(s), progesterone, and testosterone levels
• Cortisol patterns throughout the day
• DHEA and other essential hormones

DUTCH testing gives us detailed insights into your hormonal balance, showing us where adjustments are needed. With this information, we can create a precise treatment plan to address your specific needs.

Comprehensive Bloodwork

Hormone imbalances don’t exist in isolation. That’s why we use comprehensive bloodwork to check for other imbalances or early risk factors, such as:

• Thyroid dysfunction
• Insulin resistance
• Nutrient deficiencies (vitamin D, magnesium, etc.)
• Inflammatory markers
• Lipid panel including lipoproteins (Lp(a), ApoB)

This deeper look helps us catch potential problems before they turn into bigger health concerns. Bloodwork also gives us a complete view of your overall health, so we can treat the whole person, not just isolated symptoms.

GI Testing

Hormone health is closely linked to your gut. Many patients with hormone imbalances also experience digestive issues. We use GI testing to evaluate the health of your digestive system and identify problems like:

• Leaky gut
• Imbalances in gut bacteria
• Inflammation in the gut lining
• Malabsorption 

By addressing gut health, we can often improve hormonal balance. GI testing helps us connect the dots between your digestive system and hormones, leading to better outcomes.

Individualized, Tailored Treatment

No two people are the same, and neither are their hormone imbalances. That’s why we focus on individualized treatment based on your specific test results and symptoms. Whether it’s through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, lifestyle changes, or targeted supplements, your treatment plan will be customized just for you.

Access to Your Provider

At Nourish House Calls, we understand that questions or concerns can pop up between visits. That’s why we offer easy access to your provider. You can reach out with quick questions or small adjustments without needing to wait for your next appointment. We’re here for you, whenever you need us.
