Optimal Health Depends on
Why balance your hormones?
Hormones are the body’s main mechanism for cell communication. They regulate essential functions such as growth, metabolism, immune response, and mood. When hormones become imbalanced, the effects can ripple through multiple systems in the body.
Our Hormone Balancing programs are rooted in Functional Medicine and go beyond treating symptoms to uncover the underlying causes of a hormone imbalance. By evaluating factors like nutrition, sleep quality, stress, and environmental influences, we identify disruptions that may be impacting your body’s ability to maintain balance.
Through advanced testing and personalized care plans, we aim to restore your body’s natural ability to produce and regulate hormones. This may include targeted lifestyle adjustments, nutritional support, and personalized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to optimize hormone health.
Achieving balanced hormones is key to improving energy, mood, and overall well-being, and can help you enjoy a higher quality of life as you age.
Hormone levels gradually
decline with age.
Some women may experience a significant drop in estrogen levels during menopause. Similarly, some men can experience a decrease in testosterone as they age as well, a phenomenon commonly referred to as “andropause.”
Exposure to stress and toxins can speed up the loss in hormone balance for both men and women. Hormonal imbalances can stem from conditions such as:
- Menopause
- Andropause (low testosterone in men)
- Cortisol imbalance (burnout)
- Thyroid disorders
- Chronic medication use including birth control
If left untreated, these imbalances may result in pronounced symptoms of aging, including but not limited to:
- Weight gain & poor exercise tolerance
- Low sex drive
- Mood swings & depression
- Decreased energy & fatigue
- Poor concentration & memory loss

Our Approach to
Hormone Balance.
Functional Medicine
A functional medicine approach leans on the body’s natural healing capabilities to produce and balance hormones, taking a deeper look at whole-person health. This includes stress factors, diet, exercise, and other imbalances in the body informed through specialty testing.
From there, an individualized plan is developed to support hormone balance through lifestyle factors, as well as supplementation of naturally occurring vitamins and minerals to support the body in creating more hormones on its own.
Peptide Therapy
Peptides are short strings of amino acids and the building blocks of proteins that the body naturally produces. They act as the master control for many functions, including hormone production. As a natural growth hormone alternative, peptides help to improve overall health and physical performance by naturally stimulating production and release of your body’s own growth hormone. Our peptide therapy programs are built to target athletic performance, weight management and longevity.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) provides a method of restoring health that relies on the body’s natural processes to replace and rebalance depleted hormones. This can be accomplished in several different ways, including creams, injections, or pellets. BHRT using pellets consists of a customized procedure where a provider administers a pellet under the skin that releases hormones identical in chemical structure to those produced naturally by the body. Doses and combinations are specifically measured for a patient’s individual needs.
Managing a Thyroid Condition
A thyroid condition is often the cause of hormone inefficiencies or imbalances. We address a possible thyroid condition by first exploring the root cause of the condition, then applying a functional medicine approach to treatment. A provider may “prescribe” dietary changes and supplementation to allow the body to regulate the immune system naturally over time.
In some cases, patients are able to manage a thyroid condition through lifestyle adaptations and supplementation which provides a more suitable long-term solution than a lifetime of synthetic hormones through medication.

What is the Most Important Aspect of Healthcare? Value.
How much value do you truly receive with insurance-based healthcare? It’s a question that is on the mind of patients and providers alike these days. Many patients are clearly paying more for less, with insurance premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket costs rising steadily over the last two decades. Despite increasing costs, health outcomes have declined, especially…
Gut Health Explained by Essential Health – Bozeman’s Kris Bailey, FNP-C, ABAAHP
Inside all of our digestive tracts are billions of tiny microbes that produce essential vitamins, combat harmful pathogens, and help our digestive systems run smoothly. They also help preserve the one-cell barrier between the outside world and the bloodstream, which keeps harmful substances out and helpful substances in. Imbalances in this microbiota can disrupt optimal…
