Female Hormones
Hormones are the tiny molecules that act as messengers in our bodies, telling it what to do and when. The hormonal landscape of a woman is intricate and ever-changing and at Wagner Integrative Health, we understand the importance of providing support throughout every stage of life. Whether you are experiencing problems such as PCOS and endometriosis in early years or are encountering the diverse array of symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause - such as hot flashes, weight gain, insomnia, brain fog, joint pains, mood changes and low libido - we are dedicated to assisting in your transitions with comprehensive integrative and functional medicine therapies.
Our approach encompasses the use of herbs, nutraceuticals and bio-identical hormone replacement, ensuring a personalized and optimized approach to your well-being.
Comprehensive Approach to Hormonal Health:
1. Hormone Testing and Assessment: Our team begins by conducting thorough hormonal assessments to identify imbalances and understand the unique dynamics of your hormonal profile. Using traditional and functional lab testing and comprehensive evaluations, we gain insights into the root causes of your symptoms.
2. Personalized Treatment Plans: Based on your individual needs and health goals, we develop personalized treatment plans that address hormonal imbalances from multiple angles. Our approach may include a combination of lifestyle modifications, nutritional interventions, botanical medicine, supplementation and bio-identical hormone replacement therapy when needed along with other integrative therapies.
3. Menstrual Cycle Regulation: Irregular menstrual cycles can be indicative of hormonal imbalances. We offer targeted interventions to regulate menstrual cycles, reduce symptoms such as cramping and bloating, and support overall menstrual health.
4. Perimenopausal and Menopausal Support: The transition to menopause can bring about a range of symptoms, from hot flashes and night sweats to mood swings and sleep disturbances. We provide comprehensive support to help women navigate this transition with greater ease and comfort, utilizing both conventional and holistic approaches.
5. Fertility Optimization: Hormonal imbalances can impact fertility and reproductive health. Whether you're struggling with infertility or seeking to optimize your fertility, we offer specialized support to enhance your chances of conception naturally or in conjunction with assisted reproductive technologies.
Hormone Replacement Options
Our clinicians use a combination of hormone replacement options, tailored to each individual patient. Our forms of hormone replacement include bio-identical hormone creams, oral hormone replacement, hormone pellets or hormone injections. The perfect combination is determined based on each patient’s needs and their preferred route of administration.
Hormone Pellets: We partner with Hormone Centers of America to offer bioidentical pellet therapies for our patients. Hormone pellets are an implantable form of hormone replacement that deliver a slow release form of testosterone and/or estrogen over a period of 3-4 months. They ensure consistent physiological levels of hormones without the need for daily administration, allowing for an ease in their medication schedule.
Hormone Creams: We offer hormone replacement therapy in the form of bio-identical hormone creams. These creams, applied to the skin most days of the week, allow for a consistent daily dose of the appropriate amounts of hormones for those suffering from the symptoms of hormone loss.
Hormone Injections: We prescribe testosterone as an injection when appropriate for those who prefer weekly administration of testosterone. Testosterone levels decline as we age and replacing this is instrumental in helping women maintain muscle mass and bone density, improve libido and enhance energy levels.
Hormone replacement, when appropriate, has the potential to enhance health and well-being, alleviate hormonal symptoms, and serve to protect you from bone loss, muscle loss and the other effects of aging. It is critical to work with a team that understands your current state of health, whether you are a candidate for hormone replacement, and understands which form is best for you. At Wagner Integrative Health, our team will help identify which hormone treatment is best for you.
