Natural Hormone Imbalance Treatment for Women

Hormone imbalances such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and menopause related changes can be a normal part of women-hood. Our bodies will feel something as we go through hormone shifts. Symptoms such as mood swings, bloating, and cravings can be completely normal.

While hormone imbalance symptoms can be normal, we should not ignore them if they impact our daily life. This may mean our body is signaling that something is wrong. Many people ignore issues like tiredness, mood changes, painful periods, hot flashes, or irregular cycles, and they often use over-the-counter solutions to manage these problems.

However, these symptoms might show a deeper problem that needs attention. Your body could be signalling that your hormones such as estradiol (estrogen) progesterone, or cortisol are out of sync. These symptoms are not just “part of being a woman." They may be early signs of an underlying hormone health problem.

  • PCOS is one of the most common hormonal disorders affecting women of reproductive age. It’s a complex condition that impacts not only menstrual irregularities, but also, skin, mood, and metabolism.

    PCOS is a syndrome characterized by:

    • Irregular or missed periods

    • High androgen levels (such as testosterone)

    • Polycystic ovaries on ultrasound

    • Acne

    • Hirsutism (excess hair growth)

    • Hair loss

    • Weight gain or difficulty losing weight

    • Insulin resistance

    • Metabolic dysfunction

    • Difficulty conceiving

    Each woman experiences PCOS differently, which is why hormone testing and individualized care is essential.

    Rather than simply masking symptoms with hormonal birth control pills or medications, Naturopathic Doctors aim to uncover the root cause of your hormone imbalance.

    Whether your PCOS is driven by insulin resistance, inflammation, adrenal dysfunction, or stress, your treatment plan is tailored to your body’s specific needs.

    The goal is to restore hormonal balance, improve cycle regularity and reduce unwanted symptoms naturally.

  • Women going through perimenopause or menopause related changes may experience hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep disturbances, often believing these symptoms are unavoidable.

    During perimenopause and menopause hormone shifts, women’s body undergo inflammatory shifts, shifts in insulin, increased stressed response, and more. Addressing these underlying changes can help relieve perimenopause and menopause symptoms.

    If you're experiencing symptoms of:

    • Hot flashes

    • Night sweats

    • Insomnia

    • Mood changes

    • Vaginal dryness

    • Irregular periods

    • Heavy periods

    • Weight gain

    • Decreased libido

    • Headaches

    • Muscle and joint pain

    Naturopathic hormone support may be able to help you better manage these changes.

  • Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly identifies the body’s own cells as foreign invaders, like bacteria or viruses, and launches an attack against them. This can result in chronic inflammation.

    Several factors may contribute to the development of autoimmune conditions, including:

    • Genetic predisposition

    • Leaky gut syndrome (disrupted gastrointestinal barrier)

    • Chronic stress

    • Long-term inflammation

    • Overuse of antibiotics or medications

    These triggers can confuse the immune system and increase the risk of developing autoimmune responses.

    Common Autoimmune Conditions Include:

    • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)

    • Hashimoto’s thyroiditis

    • Grave’s Disease

    • Celiac disease

    • Lupus (SLE)

    While conventional medicine tends to suppress the immune system to treat autoimmune disease, naturopathic medicine takes a root-cause approach to managing autoimmune conditions.

    The goal of naturopathy is to reduce inflammation, support immune balance, and restore gut integrity using natural, evidence-informed therapies.

    Personalized care plans may include:

    • Anti-inflammatory nutrition and elimination diets

    • Gut healing protocols for leaky gut

    • Targeted supplementation (e.g., vitamin D, omega-3s, antioxidants)

    • Stress management strategies

    • Herbal medicine to modulate immune response

    • Functional lab testing to identify triggers

    Naturopathic treatment can help manage symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and improve quality of life—without suppressing the immune system.

  • Your digestive system plays a central role in your overall well-being and impacting everything from skin health and mood to stress levels, energy, and immune function. A healthy gut is essential for proper nutrient absorption, waste elimination, and long-term wellness.

    When digestion is compromised, symptoms like bloating, heartburn, indigestion, gas, or constipation can affect your daily life and overall health.

    Naturopathic medicine takes a root-cause approach to managing digestive conditions, helping to restore gut function and relieve discomfort.

    Conditions supported include:

    • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

    • Crohn’s disease

    • Ulcerative colitis

    • GERD (acid reflux)

    • Gallstones

    • Fatty liver disease

    • Chronic constipation or diarrhea

    Naturopathic Doctors use a combination of advanced testing, individualized treatment, and holistic therapies to support gut health. Services may include:

    • Comprehensive stool analysis to assess gut flora, pathogens, and inflammation

    • IgG food sensitivity testing to identify triggers contributing to inflammation or symptoms

    • Personalized nutrition and supplement plans

    • Herbal and enzyme therapy for digestion

    • Lifestyle and stress management tools

    Get to the root of your digestive symptoms.

  • The thyroid gland regulates metabolism, energy levels, and many other bodily functions. Symptoms of thyroid hormone imbalance include:

    • Fatigue, exhaustion, and low energy

    • Difficulty losing weight or unexplained weight gain

    • Bloating and constipation

    • Hair thinning or hair loss

    • Brittle nails and dry skin

    • Irregular menstrual cycles

    • Brain fog, low mood, or depression

    Proper thyroid function is essential for physical and mental health. Identifying imbalances early can lead to more effective treatment outcomes.
