Women's Health and Wellness and Hormone Balance Services in the East Lansing and Grand Rapids, MI area

Health is much more than the absence of disease!

We have essentially the same DNA structure as our ancestors, but our lifestyle has changed in many ways. We encounter different stressors, our diet has changed, and we are exposed to more environmental toxins.

Unlike our ancestors, our lifespan might extend into our 9th decade and beyond. As we age, natural transitions such as hormone changes can affect how we feel on a physical, emotional, and mental level. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can have a positive impact on your health by treating symptoms that naturally occur as you age. These women's health treatments can include hot flash treatment, menopause treatment, and more.

The Aging Process and Hormone Balance

Premenstrual Syndrome

Premenstrual Syndrome, or PMS, occurs in women who menstruate, often days before their cycle begins. Symptoms of PMS can include mood swings and irritability, anxiety, acne breakouts, abdominal bloating, and fatigue. PMS relief is available to help curb these symptoms to allow women to get on with their lives through natural PMS treatment.

Perimenopause

As women approach mid-life, they progress through two transitions. Perimenopause occurs around ages 45 to 50. Hormone production declines. Symptoms can include irregular menstrual periods, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, insomnia, and mood swings. Perimenopause can end after twelve months without a period. Women's health can be improved by utilizing natural hot flash treatment to combat some of these symptoms.

Menopause

A woman is considered to be in Menopause after twelve months without a period. During this time, the ovaries produce less estrogen and progesterone. Symptoms of menopause may include trouble regulating temperature, irritability, mood swings, insomnia, fatigue, vaginal dryness, weight gain, anxiety, and loss of libido. Natural menopause treatment can help relieve a woman of these symptoms, allowing her to go about her daily life.

Thyroid

Thyroid hormone affects every metabolic function in your body. Low thyroid can cause forgetfulness, depression, fatigue, muscle aches, weight gain, low libido, sensitivity to cold, dry skin, and hair loss.

Hormone Balance

Hormone balance is an integral part of treatment. Hormone balance can be achieved through nutritional and lifestyle changes, and if needed, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Women's wellness is greatly affected by hormone balance and we can work with you to overcome these imbalances.

Weight Management

Weight management is dependent on having balanced hormones, a healthy digestive tract, a balanced diet and an awareness of food allergies. Weight loss is much more achievable when you have the right tools and solid foundation that we can provide you with.
