As you approach middle age, is it like the wheels on the bus are not going round and round anymore? Sometimes, it can feel like they are falling off the bus completely!

One minute, you’re brimming with energy; the next, you’re dragging yourself through the day like a sloth after lunch. And let’s not even talk about sleep – it’s just a distant dream. Your exercise “plan” is less of a routine and more of a theory. Nutritional deficiencies? Let’s just say you have a few.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, but you’re also not to blame. Hormonal imbalances can wreak havoc on our sleep, energy levels, and overall well-being, causing a negative cycle when it comes to health. But the good news is, you don’t have to suffer because of your hormones!

A Functional Approach to Hormonal Balance

At Colorado Natural Medicine & Acupuncture, we take a holistic approach to health, focusing on the root causes of your symptoms. When it comes to hormonal imbalances, we understand that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work.

Here’s a glimpse into how we can help you find balance and restore your hormonal health:

  • Functional Testing: We utilize specialized tests to assess hormone levels and identify underlying imbalances. This allows us to create a targeted treatment plan specific to your hormonal landscape.
  • Nutritional Counseling: Food is a powerful medicine! We can help you develop a personalized nutrition plan that supports healthy hormone production and regulates your blood sugar levels, which can significantly impact sleep quality.
  • Herbal Medicine: Certain herbs and supplements have been shown to support hormonal balance. Depending on your needs, I may incorporate herbs like chasteberry, maca, or rhodiola into your treatment plan.
  • Acupuncture: The ancient practice of acupuncture can be a powerful tool for promoting relaxation, reducing stress hormones, and improving sleep quality.
  • Lifestyle Coaching: Naturopathic medicine complements Western medicine by offering the benefits of nutrition, movement, sleep and stress management techniques like meditation, yoga, and deep breathing. Creating healthy lifestyle habits can significantly transform your health and overall well-being.

My Journey with Functional Medicine

I’ve seen firsthand the transformative power of functional medicine. It’s why I became a Naturopathic Doctor and Acupuncturist. Even as a young adult, I knew the solutions to my health issues had to be more nuanced than merely the pharmaceutical approach my Western doctor offered. In my practice, countless patients experience dramatic improvements in their sleep, energy levels, and overall well-being after identifying and addressing the underlying causes of their symptoms. That is the power functional testing and medicine bring to the table.
