Women's Health

Women’s hormones are like a symphony. When all instruments are in tune and musicians are playing their best, beautiful music flows. When one instrument is even slightly out of tune, the song doesn’t sound quite as nice. It might even be hard to listen to.

Similarly, female sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone – along with other hormones like thyroid hormone, cortisol, and insulin – work in accordance with each other and inform the body as a whole. When balanced and cycling properly, this results in a woman who is full of energy, sleeps soundly, has painless menstrual cycles, good muscle tone, clear skin, thick hair, a healthy libido, and can conceive naturally. If one or more of these hormones is out of balance - just like the symphony - this can disrupt the entire system. You can end up with things like acne, weight gain, fatigue, painful or irregular (or absent) periods, insomnia, mood swings, thinning hair, tender breasts, infertility, and even migraines.

Due to the amount of stressors in our modern world, a woman’s hormonal balance has become increasingly compromised. Ubiquitous exposure to harmful toxins, westernized diets, never-ending screen time, sedentary lifestyles, and unrelenting stress place an overwhelming burden on the endocrine system. This has resulted in growing numbers of women with PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid disorders, menstrual irregularities, fertility issues, and more.

At Cloverlea, we we work together to greatly decrease the amount of existing stressors your body faces in order to lower the burden on your endocrine system and ease problematic symptoms. At the same time, we utilize therapies to shore you up so that stressors going forward don’t rock the boat – or ruin the song – quite as easily.

Tending to these foundational aspects of health has a remarkable impact on your hormones and can resolve your symptoms. Some women, however, do all the right things to a tee and still struggle to see the change they’re looking for. At Cloverlea, we work with the entire spectrum. We help you navigate and master the foundations, and we also delve deeper through advanced lab testing to gain a detailed picture of how your hormones are working and where to specifically target our attention. We then tailor research-based plans to provide the shift that’s needed for your body to balance itself.

Once understood and cared for properly, the female hormonal system is quite magical and a powerful key to your vitality.
