Various hormones created and released in your body control nearly all of your body's functions, from growth and development, metabolism, appetite, mood, reproduction, sleep cycles, sexual function, and more. Improper production or utilization of hormones leads to imbalances. For example, the drop in production of the hormone estrogen is what leads to menopause, and diabetes occurs when your body does not produce enough of the hormone insulin or your body is resistant to it.

Feelings of anxiety and depression, or even conditions such as attention deficit disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder, are often much more than what meets the eye. Addressing the underlying causes from the aspect of hormonal and nutritional balance, as well as dealing with any mental or emotional roadblocks preventing you from thriving in life, can result in a much healthier emotional state.

Men and women often suffer from symptoms of sexual dysfunction, such as difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection, inability to achieve orgasm, vaginal dryness, pain with intercourse, and lack of interest in sex or inability to become aroused. Fortunately, it is possible to improve your sexual wellness, which results in better performance and pleasure through a personalized and holistic approach with several treatment options.

Poor sleep and fatigue can affect your overall health. Chronic fatigue is extreme tiredness that cannot be explained or does not improve with rest. Discovering the root cause of your tiredness or sleep problems, whether you need to improve your sleep quality, reduce sleep disturbance, or effectively treat insomnia, can restore healthy sleep, improve energy levels, and dramatically improve your quality of life.

From anxiety and depression to gas, bloating, cramping, diarrhea, constipation, skin issues, and brain fog. Your gut health may be the culprit. Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome are often diagnosed without a cure for the hundreds of thousands of people who suffer from digestive issues. A leaky gut and food sensitivities often cause inflammation that leads to poor gut health and results in a host of issues. Improving your gut can improve your overall wellness.

Proper nutrition and exercise are always necessary, but sometimes they are not enough. Even if you think you are doing everything correctly, if your hormones are out of wack and you're not getting the proper nutrients you need, it can make it nearly impossible to lose weight. A personalized plan with the appropriate monitoring and natural boosts can help you finally reach your weight loss goals.

Aging is often associated with frailty and illness. It does not have to be that way. As you age, the natural decline in hormone production results in diminished muscle mass and strength, decreased bone density, impaired memory and concentration, poor sleep quality, and poor energy levels, to name a few. Proper supplementation and hormone balancing can help you age much more gracefully and feel twenty years younger.

Stress has become a regular part of life. However, too much stress, for too long and occurring too often leads to the body's normal stress response becoming overactive. After being in a heightened stress state for so long, the body starts to fail to respond appropriately to stress. The adrenal glands eventually fail to produce enough stress hormones resulting in several unwanted symptoms.
