Hormonal changes are common starting at age 40 and sometimes earlier. You could have changes in your menstrual cycle, hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, fatigue or sleep disruptions. We use traditional blood tests along with saliva and urine testing when indicated to determine your hormone balance and determine a treatment. Treatment may include prescribed hormones, but may also include natural therapies such as supplements to help ease the transition. Are you too young for menopause but having symptoms? – WATCH VIDEO

Gastrointestinal disorders are becoming more common due to the overuse of NSAIDS and proton pump inhibitors (Acid blockers). We use a specialized stool test that can detect whether you have enough stomach acid, if you are digesting your food, and what kind of bacteria you have in your gut. Often we find too much or too little bacteria that can cause symptoms. We also test for SIBO with a breath test and are able to prescribe the proper treatment plan.

Food sensitivities are becoming more common. Unlike an allergy, which causes an immediate reaction such as a rash or hives, food intolerances or sensitivities can cause symptoms much slower, making it difficult to pin point the causes. It could be GI distress with diarrhea, or fatigue, weight gain or migraines. We use sensitive blood testing to determine the trigger foods, and then put you on a plan for gut healing. Do you have food intolerances? – WATCH VIDEO

Thyroid disorders are becoming more common. Autoimmune thyroiditis is also on the rise. You may have symptoms of thyroid problems that are hard to detect. Most medical professionals only check TSH, which often fails to fully evaluate the thyroid.

Anxiety can be caused by an imbalance between many hormones. Estrogen out of balance with progesterone can cause anxiety. Also, elevated levels of cortisol can also contribute to anxiety. Many people have genetic alterations that affect the way their body gets rid of neurotransmitters, thus leaving them with too many excitatory chemicals and not enough calming. Testing these levels can help target treatment at the cause.
