If you are experiencing hormonal problems, it may be time to have a comprehensive heatlh check to optimise your health. The Holistic Medical Centre provides a range of diagnostic, medical and health services. If you feel that something is not quite right, are having mood swings, and are not sleeping well, your hormonal feedback systems may have been affected.

Endocrine disrupting chemicals can also interfere with our own endocrine (or hormonal) systems. Some examples of these are beauty products, cleaning products, dioxin, PCB’s, pesticides, synthetic hormones in food and animal products. If any of these sounds like your life, the first thing you can do to is go and see the team at the Holistic Medical Centre for a full and comprehensive assessment and functional testing.

It could be as simple as a saliva sample, some blood tests or a dried urine test of comprehensive hormones (DUTCH test). These results will help them determine what your hormones are doing, and from there one of their practitioners will guide you through your analysis and prepare a treatment plan.

Menstrual cycles are on average once a month; therefore in order to assess how treatment is progressing it is necessary to follow a plan for at least three months to gauge the affects on your cycle. Some people get immediate relief with changes to diet and lifestyle, others need to take a recommended supplement regime for three to six months to help balance hormones. It is also important to learn how to manage stress. Stress,actual or perceived, places an extra load on the mind and body affecting us physically and psychologically. Learning techniques to bring the mind and body into a relaxed state will be of benefit to your hormones too.
