Functional Medicine, Hormone & Perimenopause Care in La Grange, IL

Ongoing symptoms can be difficult to make sense of when several areas of health seem to be changing at once. Nourish House Calls provides functional medicine care for La Grange residents through house calls, appointments at our Westmont office, and telehealth. We take a closer look at your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, and testing to identify patterns that may be contributing to how you feel. Our team gives you the time and attention needed to understand your concerns and guide care around the fuller picture of your health.

Functional Medicine

Functional Medicine for La Grange Residents

Recurring symptoms can be difficult to understand when each appointment only addresses one concern at a time. Functional medicine takes a broader view, beginning with a 90-minute initial visit that covers your symptoms, medications, lifestyle, previous testing, health history, and goals. When needed, in-depth laboratory testing can provide additional insight into factors that may be affecting your health. This care supports hormone balance, perimenopause and menopause, chronic health concerns, healthy aging, and other ongoing issues. If you have been looking for a functional doctor in La Grange, this is the framework that guides the broader care we provide.

Perimenopause Therapy Services

Changes in your 30s or 40s can sometimes show up in ways that are easy to dismiss at first. Irregular periods, restless sleep, new anxiety, mood changes, lower energy, and difficulty concentrating can all occur during perimenopause. We consider these symptoms alongside comprehensive hormone and metabolic testing to better understand the changes taking place. Treatment is then tailored to your symptoms and results, with conventional and natural therapy options and clear guidance on what may be appropriate and what the evidence supports.

Heavy or changing periods in perimenopause: Menstrual cycles can become heavier, lighter, longer, shorter, or less predictable during perimenopause. Heavier or prolonged bleeding deserves careful evaluation rather than being assumed to be hormonal, and specialist care may be recommended when further investigation is needed.

Perimeno Therapy
Menopause Therapy

Menopause Therapy Services

Menopause can affect sleep, energy, mood, concentration, body temperature, and how you feel throughout the day. Our menopause therapy uses nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and bioidentical hormone therapy when appropriate to address these changes. Care can begin during earlier hormonal changes and continue through perimenopause and menopause, providing support through each stage.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

Hormonal changes can affect women and men in different ways, including lower energy, reduced libido, weight changes, disrupted sleep, mood changes, or a general sense of not feeling like yourself. Our bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is individualized around these concerns and uses hormones that are structurally identical to those naturally produced by the body. Comprehensive testing helps establish a clear starting point, while ongoing monitoring allows treatment to be adjusted based on laboratory results and symptoms. We have worked with the same trusted compounding pharmacies for 15 years as part of our hormone care.

Bioidentical Hormone
Care for Chronic

Care for Chronic and Ongoing Concerns

Functional medicine also gives La Grange patients a way to investigate concerns that extend beyond hormone health, including chronic fatigue, digestive problems, thyroid disorders, autoimmune concerns, sleep disturbances, mood-related symptoms, weight management, and other persistent issues. By looking at your health history alongside in-depth testing, we can identify possible contributing factors and use those findings to guide care rather than focusing only on isolated symptoms. Explore the full range of conditions we support.

Mobile & In-Home IV Therapy in La Grange

Traveling to a doctor’s office for IV treatment is not always convenient, especially when you are already dealing with low energy or a busy schedule. La Grange patients can receive mobile IV therapy at home or at the workplace, while in-office appointments remain available at our Westmont location. Treatment options include the Recharge blend for hydration and energy support or NAD+ for cellular support, depending on your needs. Experienced registered nurses administer IV treatments throughout our house-call service area.

Mobile-&-In-Home
stem-cell-th

Stem Cell Therapy

Persistent joint pain, tendon or ligament injuries, and chronic degeneration can affect mobility and day-to-day activity. Our stem cell therapy for La Grange patients uses Wharton’s Jelly and purified amniotic fluid injections to support the body’s own healing response. Depending on the patient, regenerative treatment can be considered alongside or before surgery or long-term steroid injections. Products are sourced through FDA-inspected laboratories with donor screening, while each treatment plan focuses on the joint or injury being treated and the patient’s goals.

Regenerative & Longevity Medicine

Regenerative medicine can support more than recovery from a joint or injury. For La Grange patients, peptide therapy, NAD+ IV nutrition, and other cellular-support treatments are used to support healthy aging, energy, and vitality. Longevity medicine is designed for patients who want their care to reflect both current needs and longer-term health priorities.

Regenerative Medicine
Membership Plans

Membership Options for Continued Care

Ongoing care is easier to manage when follow-up, testing, and provider access are built into a consistent plan. Our membership model includes specialized laboratory testing, personalized care plans, provider access, hormone and peptide prescriptions, IV nutritional therapy, and discounts on additional services. Predictable pricing makes continued care easier to plan, while IV therapy, stem cell therapy, and ozone therapy remain available as standalone services.
