Unbalanced hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA) in women can lead to fatigue, weight gain, decreased sex drive, sleep disturbance, fertility problems, mood swings and hot flashes. In men, decreased testosterone and/or DHEA levels can lead to fatigue, weight gain and decreased sex drive. These symptoms are successfully managed by balancing hormones as well as controlling carbohydrates in order to control insulin and prevent fat storage. Increased amounts of insulin and fat can lead to high estrogen levels worsening hormonal imbalance. We measure and monitor estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA levels to ensure that you are getting the right balance of hormones.
