At VitalPaths Wellness, we know how deeply hormone levels affect a woman’s health, emotions, and daily well-being. Even slight shifts in hormone balance can lead to noticeable—and sometimes disruptive—symptoms.
A hormonal imbalance happens when your body produces too much or too little of certain hormones. These chemical messengers regulate everything from mood and sleep to energy and reproductive health. That’s why even minor imbalances can leave you feeling “off.”
While hormonal changes are a normal part of life—especially during menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and menopause—other factors can also trigger imbalances. These include:
Chronic stress
Poor nutrition
Underlying medical conditions
Environmental toxins
Our goal is to help you identify the root cause and restore your natural balance with the right support and care.
Many women don’t realize their symptoms may be hormone-related. If you’ve been feeling unlike yourself, watch for these common signs:
Hot flashes & night sweats: Sudden heat or sweating could be linked to low estrogen levels.
Vaginal dryness: Often caused by thinning vaginal tissue due to hormone deficiency, which can lead to discomfort during intimacy.
Low libido: A decline in sexual desire can stem from shifts in estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone.
Anxiety & mood changes: Hormonal fluctuations can amplify anxiety and emotional sensitivity.
Sleep disturbances: Trouble falling or staying asleep may be connected to hormonal imbalances, especially during perimenopause or menopause.
Hair thinning or loss: Estrogen and thyroid hormone changes may contribute to noticeable hair shedding or thinning.
Other possible symptoms: Infertility, acne, bloating, weight gain, breast tenderness, and changes in appetite or voice tone.
Your thyroid is another key player in hormonal balance. When thyroid hormones are out of sync, the effects can mimic other hormone-related issues:
Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism): Fatigue, dry skin, constipation, and muscle aches.
Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism): Anxiety, insomnia, weight loss, and increased sweating.
At VitalPaths Wellness, we assess thyroid health as part of your complete hormone evaluation.
When left unaddressed, hormonal imbalances can contribute to:
Ongoing fatigue
Depression or anxiety
Decreased quality of life
Increased risk for chronic conditions
We start with thorough diagnostic testing—evaluating your hormone levels, thyroid function, and overall health profile. From there, we create a personalized hormone replacement therapy (HRT) plan tailored to your unique needs and goals.
