Addressing Hormone Imbalances in Women
Do you experience brain fog, weight changes, or low energy? Many women focus on estrogen when it comes to hormones, but other key hormones also play a crucial role in overall health. These hormones are essential for bone health, mental clarity, and metabolic support, yet they naturally decline with age. Factors such as previous surgeries, certain medications, genetics, weight, and environmental influences can also contribute to imbalances.
Optimizing hormone levels can improve mental clarity, sleep, energy, and weight management while supporting overall wellness. If you’re feeling off balance, a simple blood test can help identify any deficiencies. We offer a variety of tailored treatment options to meet your needs, including personalized creams, pellets, and more. Reach out today to learn how we can help you feel your best.
Adrenal Dysfunction
(can be caused by medications, emotional stress, stimulants and more)
The adrenals are responsible for putting out stress hormones such as adrenaline, epinephrine, cortisol, pregnenolone and DHEA. There are several stages of adrenal dysfunction. Chronic stress will initially put your adrenals in overdrive until they cannot keep up anymore. If you feel “tired but wired” with weight gain and difficulty falling asleep, then you may be experiencing the onset of adrenal dysfunction. It may feel like your thyroid is off. After some time, the adrenals will not be able to keep up, causing extreme fatigue, exhaustion, poor sleep, low libido with possible menstrual irregularities that can feel like menopause. If you have any of these symptoms please call us today. We can diagnose this with simple blood and saliva testing.

Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism is a common disorder in which your thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone. The thyroid gland sits in the front of your neck and is responsible for most of your body functions. Having an underactive thyroid can greatly impact your quality of life and contribute to fatigue, weight gain and brain fog (slow thinking). Hypothyroidism is frequently missed and undertreated, leaving patients hopeless. Patients often go to several providers before this is diagnosed. Here at Total Medical, we perform a comprehensive examination to diagnose your condition and identify the cause.
Symptoms of Hypothyroidism

- Brain Fog / Poor Cognition

- Constipation
- Weight Gain
- Insomnia / cold intolerance

- Irregular Menses
- Depression / Anxiety
Hormone Imbalance
A proper hormone balance is essential to your wellbeing. Sometimes these hormones become imbalanced and create undesirable symptoms such as heavy periods, headaches, mood swings, abdominal pain or excessive facial hair and infertility. This is your body telling you that something is wrong. While there are simple solutions to this, they are not optimal and typically create other problems. Here at Total Medical, we get to the root cause and find a solution that aligns with your belief system. Whether you want to try herbal and lifestyle changes or go right into hormone therapy, we are here to support you along the way and will provide you with all options available.
Menopause
Menopause is a time in a woman’s life when she stops having monthly periods. At this time the ovaries stop making the hormones estrogen and progesterone. These hormones are essential to your quality of life. Decreased hormone production causes nighttime awakening with hot flashes and anxiety that keep you awake all night. Many women also experience a decrease in sexual desire and painful sex that can lead to a strain on your relationship. As a result, many women can develop depression. Menopause is a natural part of life, but that doesn’t mean you have to suffer. Hormone replacement therapy remains the most effective solution for alleviating menopausal symptoms and it may help provide protection for the heart and brain as well. With Total Medical, we work with you to customize your hormone program with a personalized blend of medicines to fit your individual needs.
