Women’s health doesn’t get nearly the amount of attention it deserves. Common women’s health conditions often go overlooked and many care providers utilize treatment methods universally for both men and women—whether that’s the best choice or not.

At BioSymmetry Wilmington/ Leland, we believe in a more personal approach to care.

Below, we discuss how we’re redefining care for six common women’s health challenges:

1. Hormonal Imbalance

A woman’s body has more than 50 different hormones, traveling throughout the body and impacting a wide range of factors, including:

Growth
Mood
Metabolism
Sleep
Reproduction
Sexual function

If even one of these bodily chemicals is off-balance—i.e. if your body produces too much or too little of the hormone—you can experience a variety of hormone-related health issues, such as:

Irregular menstruation
Infertility
Mood swings
Weight management challenges
Hair & skin problems
Thyroid disorders
Diabetes
Obesity
Vaginal atrophy & dryness

Through comprehensive hormone replacement therapy (HRT) services, BioSymmetry Wilmington helps women combat the negative effects of hormonal changes resulting from natural processes like menopause and aging.

We use a few different methods, including:

Oral medication (estrogen, progesterone, and even testosterone)
Skin patches & creams
Subdermal Pellet Therapy

2. Weight Management

Lots of women across the globe struggle to meet their healthy weight goals. But the problem is often more than just a result of an unhealthy lifestyle. Genetics, body composition, metabolism, and hormonal fluctuations can make weight loss and management especially difficult for many women.

This is where medical weight loss comes in.

Guided by weight loss expert Dr. Holmes, BioSymmetry Wilmington/ Leland helps women of all ages across Wilmington and Leland, NC regain control of their weight through…

Comprehensive blood testing, body composition assessments and metabolism assessment
Personalized diet & exercise plans
Weight loss medications (like semaglutide and tirzepatide)
Close monitoring & adjustment of dosages for optimal results

3. Pelvic Floor Weakness

Natural processes like pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause can severely weaken the muscles and connective tissue at the base of a woman’s pelvis.

This can lead to several pelvic floor issues, such as:

Incontinence (involuntary leakage of urine)
Increased urinary frequency & urgency
Constipation
Painful or incomplete bowel movements
Back or pelvic discomfort
Painful in*******se
Pelvic organ prolapse

Fortunately, there are things women of all ages can do to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles. At BioSymmetry Wilmington, our pelvic floor stimulation device, Emsella®, optimizes pelvic health by delivering pain-free supramaximal contractions to the pelvic floor across a series of several sessions.

4. Vaginal Dryness & Atrophy

At various times throughout a woman’s life—like during menopause, while breastfeeding, or when undergoing radiation or chemotherapy for cancer—estrogen levels can decrease. This reduces the moisture in the va**na and can, in turn, cause thinning, drying, and inflammation of the va**nal walls (a phenomenon called va**nal atrophy).

This condition is very common and can be extremely uncomfortable, causing…

Ge***al itching
Pain during s*x
Unusual va**nal discharge
Yeast infections
Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Frequent urination
Burning when you p*e
Incontinence (urinary leakage)

But with new advances in s*xual health, women now have options to help them restore va**nal health and say goodbye to va**nal dryness and discomfort.

BioSymmetry Wilmington/ Leland offers a unique solutions to address the issue. Our female enhancement shot is a non-invasive treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to regenerate the va**nal system and optimize overall va**nal health.

5. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrom (PCOS)

Affecting approximately 10% of premenopausal women, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder caused by a unique resistance to insulin. The disorder can cause a variety of symptoms, including:

Cysts
Irregular menstrual cycles
Acne
Obesity & weight management challenges
Glucose intolerance
Increased risk of diabetes
Lipid abnormalities
Facial hair growth
Male pattern thinning (in severe cases)

As is the way at BioSymmetry Wilmington/ Leland, we take a whole-patient approach to PCOS treatment, combining custom-tailored diet and exercise plans with medical measures to regulate menstrual cycles, treat insulin resistance, address facial hair, and optimize thyroid function.

6. Hypothyroidism
Over 17% of U.S. adults have a condition called hypothyroidism where their thyroid gland fails to produce enough of the thyroid hormone. This hormone plays an essential role in regulating metabolism. While this condition impacts both men and women, it’s far more prevalent for women.

An underactive thyroid can cause a wide range of symptoms, such as:

Weakness
Cold sensitivity
Fatigue
Thin hair, skin, or nails
Weight gain
Increased body fat
Loss of energy & motivation
Loss of cognition or memory
Depression
Loss of well-being

Using a combination of medication and diet changes the BioSymmetry Wilmington/ Leland team helps women with hypothyroidism combat these symptoms and effectively regulate their thyroid function.

✨ At Biosymmetry, we don’t guess—we measure. ✨

Your annual physical labs only scratch the surface. At Biosymmetry Wilmington/ Leland, we run a comprehensive lab panel designed specifically for our patients—not a generic checklist.

Our Biosymmetry-exclusive lab panel goes deeper and includes:
✔️ Detailed hormone panels
✔️ Advanced metabolic markers
✔️ Select genetic testing not typically included in routine primary care labs
✔️Comprehensive thyroid panel

Why does this matter? Because symptoms don’t happen in isolation. Fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, low libido, poor sleep, and stalled performance often come from imbalances that standard labs never look for.

We use your data + your symptoms to create a personalized plan that helps you feel, function, and perform at your best.

They explanation is well written and easy to understand 👍

The over-consumption of carbohydrates, not fat, is what leads to heart disease.

Think of your body like a car that can run on two fuels: sugar (carbs) or fat.

When you eat a lot of carbohydrates, bread, pasta, cereal, soda, sweets, your body turns them into glucose (sugar) in your blood. You are using carbs for fuel.

Your body must keep blood sugar in a very tight range. Too much sugar in the blood is dangerous. So your body releases a hormone called insulin to quickly move that sugar out of the blood.
Here’s where the problem starts.

Step 1: Too much sugar = too much insulin
If you constantly eat high carb foods or drinks, your body has to release insulin over and over and over again, all day long.

Insulin’s main job is:
“Get this sugar out of the blood and store it.”

But there’s only so much sugar your muscles and liver can store.

Once they’re full, insulin has only one place left to put the extra sugar. It turns it into fat.

Not just fat under your skin, but fat in places it doesn’t belong.

Step 2: Fat starts building up in the liver and bloodstream

The liver now has to deal with all this extra sugar being turned into fat. It packages that fat into tiny particles called triglycerides and sends them into the bloodstream.

This is when your blood starts carrying too much fat around all the time. That fat can get stuck in the walls of your blood vessels.

Step 3: Damage to blood vessels

High blood sugar is sticky and irritating to blood vessels. It causes tiny damage to the inside lining of your arteries.

Your body tries to “patch” that damage, like putting tape over a leak.
The patch is made from:
• Fat (triglycerides)
• Cholesterol
• Inflammatory cells

This patch is called plaque.

Step 4: Plaque builds up and hardens

Over time, more sugar = more insulin = more fat in the blood = more damage = more plaque.

The arteries (the tubes that carry blood to your heart) start to:
• Get narrower
• Get stiff and hard

This is called atherosclerosis.

Step 5: Blocked artery = heart attack

If a plaque breaks open, a blood clot can form and block the artery.
When blood can’t reach part of your heart: you have a heart attack.

It’s not “fat in food” that causes heart disease.

It’s too much sugar and carbohydrates for too many years, which leads to:

High insulin → fat made in the liver → damage to arteries → plaque → heart disease.

A simple way to remember it:

Too many carbs over time turns your blood into: a sugary, sticky, fatty, inflamed highway and that’s what damages the heart and causes heart disease. 😕

At Biosymmetry Wilmington/ Leland we are all about protein. Protein builds muscle....muscle burns fat. Protein helps you feel full and fuels your body too. We recommend 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight if you are trying to build muscle (or a little less if you are trying to lose weight or aren't very active).

That can be quite a bit of protein in a day. Here is a quick guide to help you figure out how much protein is in common foods. You can also guesstimate with your hand. Your palm is roughly 3 oz, which is 23-25 grams of protein.

If you chose the right food and are consistent with your exercise regime, you can build muscle!
