Restore balance and feel like yourself again
Hormones regulate energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, and libido. When they shift out of balance, the changes can be wide-ranging and difficult to pin down.
Many people spend years assuming their symptoms are just stress or aging. At KDR, we use lab testing and a detailed history to understand what’s happening.
Then we create a personalized plan to bring your body back into balance.
Schedule a consultationWhat is hormonal imbalance?
Hormonal imbalance happens when the body produces too much or too little of one or more hormones, such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, or thyroid hormones. Even small shifts can have noticeable effects because hormones work together as a system. Imbalances are common during perimenopause, menopause, and andropause, but they can happen at any age.
What causes hormonal imbalance?
Common causes include:
- Perimenopause and menopause
- Age-related testosterone decline
- Chronic stress
- Thyroid changes
- Weight changes and poor sleep
Identifying the cause helps us choose the most effective treatment.
Signs of hormonal imbalance
Symptoms vary widely between people.
Common signs include:
- Fatigue
- Mood swings or irritability
- Weight gain
- Low libido
- Trouble sleeping
If several of these sound familiar, hormone testing can help clarify what’s going on.
