Hormones play a vital role in maintaining good health. Imbalances, deficiencies, age-related fluctuation, and the symptoms that accompany these problems can have a negative side effect on your quality of life. Knowing your hormone status is the first step in reaching a healthy hormone balance. Testing can help you detect imbalances and shed light on existing and potential health problems. It also allows you and your physician to monitor the effectiveness of supplemental hormones.

At Pallimed Solutions, we offer complete hormone therapy. We will work with you and your doctor to determine the best therapy for your needs.

Why is hormone balance important?

Hormones in balance are the key to health. As hormones decline, health declines and aging accelerates. Hormone imbalance can occur at any age. Diet and lifestyle are extremely important to hormone balance. Every person is a unique individual, and hormone replacement therapy must be individualized for each patient.

What are the stages of life associated with hormonal imbalance?

Premenopause: Premenopause is when natural hormone production begins to decline which can cause a variety of symptoms such as PMS, weight gain, or infertility.

Perimenopause: When one begins to experience errectic menstrual cycles or lack of ovulation. Normally the first signs of menopausal symptoms occur during the perimenopause stage. Estrogen levels are rapidly fluctuating from high to low in the absense of adequate progesterone.

Menopause: Defined as when a woman has gone 12 full months without a period.

Postmenopause; An imbalance of estrogen to progesterone ratio when ovarian production of estrogen can decline by as much as 60% and levels of progesterone can drop all the way down to zero due to the cessation of ovulation. Symptoms normally become more moderate to mild so treatments need to be adjusted in accordance.

Adrenal Fatigue: Adrenal fatigue is caused by an imbalance in the hormone Cortisol, Imbalances in cortisol are caused by levels of intense or constant stress. This stage of hormonal imbalance is frequently misunderstood or undetected in our body because your levels of cortisol vary from high to low throughout the day, making them hard to measure and in turn difficult to recommend treatment for.
