Hormones are powerful chemicals that regulate almost every function in your body—from metabolism and mood to growth, reproduction, and sexual health. When your hormone levels are off, even slightly, it can affect how you feel, function, and live each day. At True Precision Medicine, we help patients identify hormone imbalances and create personalized plans to restore balance and vitality.

What Is a Hormonal Imbalance?

Think of your hormones like instruments in an orchestra: when one is out of tune, the whole performance suffers. Your organs and tissues release more than 50 different hormones into your bloodstream, each regulating critical body systems. Too much or too little of any hormone can disrupt growth, metabolism, mood, reproduction, and sexual function.

Common Causes of Hormonal Imbalance

While hormone changes naturally occur during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause, imbalances can also arise from underlying conditions or lifestyle factors, such as:

• Thyroid disorders affecting metabolism and energy

• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which can elevate male hormone levels in people AFAB

• Adrenal disorders like Addison’s disease or Cushing’s syndrome

• Diabetes, impacting insulin regulation

• Eating disorders or extreme stress, which alter hormone production

• Cysts, tumors, or medications such as birth control or cancer treatments

• Environmental exposures to chemicals that disrupt hormone function

Because hormones influence so many body systems, symptoms can vary widely. Fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, low libido, irregular periods, or sleep problems may all indicate an imbalance.

How We Diagnose Hormone Imbalances

No single test can evaluate all hormones. At True Precision Medicine, we take a comprehensive, personalized approach:

• Review your medical history, current medications and an extensive symptom analysis

• Conduct lab testing to measure hormone levels in blood, urine, or saliva

• Order physical exams and imaging if needed, such as pelvic ultrasounds or thyroid scans

This combination allows us to identify the root cause of your symptoms and design a treatment plan tailored to your body.

Treatment Options

Treatment depends on the specific imbalance and your individual health needs. Options we provide include:

• Hormone therapy to increase low estrogen, progesterone, or thyroid hormones

• Targeted medications to reduce elevated male hormones or balance cortisol

• Lifestyle and nutrition guidance to support natural hormone regulation

Every plan at True Precision Medicine is built around your unique physiology and lab results, ensuring safe, effective, and lasting results.
