Hormone Imbalance (male/female)

At One Source Integrative Medicine we employ a more personalized, patient centered, whole person approach to healthcare, rather than a conventional, one size fits all, disease oriented focus.

Overview

Have you recently been diagnosed with menopause?

Or are you experiencing a decrease in libido, insomnia, or depression? A female hormone imbalance treatment session with us might be just what you need for overall wellness. Here's everything to know about functional medicine and its benefits for managing female hormone imbalances.

What is Female Hormone Imbalance?

Hormones such as estrogen, oxytocin, FSH, LH, and progesterone are considered female hormones that are responsible for the regulation of sexual development, mood, and metabolism. An increase or decrease in hormone levels leads to a hormone imbalance. Female hormone imbalance occurs due to a variety of reasons, including aging. As female patients age, the levels of hormones produced can fluctuate, leading to a decrease in reproductive capacity.
