Does HRT provide more benefits and protection than one thought, in comparison to the risks that go along with it?

My recommendation is that ALL women need to have their estrogen detoxification pathways tested PRIOR to HRT.

Women with poor detoxification will be at higher risk of adverse effects compared to a woman whose pathways are running smoothly.

Our body is equipped to turn used estrogen and other hormones, into water soluble particles that can be released from the body through our bowels, urine, sweat and menstruation. If this is not working properly, our body is producing toxic compounds that can increase a woman’s risk for estrogen-based cancers.

The DUTCH test is able to evaluate Phase I and Phase II detoxification to determine what can be done to support detox pathways, if trouble exists.

This test is available through and our Physicians are trained to interpret and create personalized programs for women to support their detoxification pathways and further explain their hormones support options.

The sad truth is that the "healthc@re" industry in our nation today has nothing whatsoever to do with *HEALTH* - it’s all about treating symptoms (and making $$ for big ph@rma companies).

The more important and more powerful truth is that our bodies are designed with incredible capabilities for true healing when given the right support and right environment for that to happen.

And that's where Functional Medicine comes in. We take a look at your WHOLE body to see what is going on and help you come up with a plan to remove the things that are causing pain or illness and empower your body to heal.

Even if you're dealing with

❌Chronic pain
❌Infertility
❌Hormonal imbalances
❌Recurring Illness
❌Thyroid challenges
❌Gut health problems
❌Weight gain / Inability to lose weight and more

Functional medicine can help you finally heal and reclaim your vibrant, full life.

Hormone imbalances could be what’s causing your anxiety.

Let’s uncover the root cause of your stress:

⚡️Cortisol: The Stress Hormone (The body releases cortisol in response to stress.)
- Too much = Feeling wired & anxious
- Too little = Fatigue + low resilience to stress

⚡️Thyroid Hormones: Hyperthyroidism and sometimes Hypothyroidism
- Over-active thyroid = Anxiety, restlessness, racing thoughts.
- Under-active thyroid = Anxiety, depression

⚡️Estrogen & Progesterone: Female Hormone Imbalances (Sometimes, hormonal birth control can exacerbate anxiety.)
- Low progesterone (calming hormone) = Anxiety spikes.
- High estrogen = Mood swings & irritability.

⚡️Insulin: Blood Sugar Swings
- Insulin resistance or blood sugar imbalances = Irritability, jitteriness, and anxiety.

If you are experiencing stress or anxiety, let’s get to the bottom of what’s causing it!

Almost every day, I have women ages 35-50 come into my office complaining of weight gain, insomnia, low energy and just feeling like crap.

They have been to their primary care doctor only to be told, that all their blood work is “normal” and been given the option of an anti-depressant or birth control pills.

Ladies….these are not your only options.

Functional testing will give us answers and help us understand the root cause of the way you are feeling.

THERE IS A REASON you are feeling this way and it isn’t because you need a mood or hormone pill.

Our bodies are complex.

Every woman is different and the root cause may be adrenal, digestive imbalance, hormone detoxification issues, toxins, parasites, micronutrient malabsorption, mitochondrial dysfunction….and the list goes on.

Symptoms are a sign of an underlying imbalance, allow us to help you determine what that is.

Our bodies are bombarded by more environmental toxins than ever before.

These toxins get into our bodies through the air we breathe, the food we eat, what we put onto our skin, and more. Once in our body, they can cause all kinds of disruptions to our health and well-being, leading to illness and disease.

The good news is that there are things you can do to help your body shed these toxins and heal the damage that they do.

Check out these three simple activities you can do every day to support daily detox!
