I've been there – watching my life unravel despite "normal" test results.
Â
As a woman and physician, I thought I knew my body. But there I was, dragging myself through each day, wondering why I felt like a stranger in my own skin. My energy crashed by 3 PM. Night sweats left me drenched. Mood swings turned me into someone I didn't recognize. And despite eating well and exercising, the weight kept creeping up.
The worst part? My doctor colleagues said my hormones were "fine." My labs were "within normal limits." They offered me antidepressants and birth control pills – band-aids that masked the real problems happening beneath the surface.
Does this sound like your story?

The Missing Piece: Beyond Sex Hormones
Â
Here's what most practitioners miss: Your hormones work like a symphony orchestra, not solo performers. While many doctors focus solely on estrogen and progesterone, they often overlook the crucial conductors of your hormonal orchestra – your thyroid and adrenal glands. These three systems – sex hormones, thyroid, and adrenals – work in an intricate triad that affects everything from your energy and mood to your weight and sleep.
And there's more: Your gut health plays a starring role in this hormonal ballet. Think of it as the stage where your hormonal symphony performs. When your gut isn't healthy, even perfectly balanced hormones can't do their job properly.
What Makes Our Approach Different
We don't just look at isolated hormone levels – we see the bigger picture. While other practitioners might check your estrogen and call it a day, we:
- Evaluate the complete hormonal triad: sex hormones, thyroid, and adrenals
- Assess your gut health's impact on hormone function
- Consider how your hormones interact with each other
- Look beyond "normal" ranges to optimal levels for YOU
- Focus on finding the root cause, not just treating symptoms
- Integrate the renowned Red School method of menstrual cycle awareness
