NATURAL HORMONE BALANCE THERAPY

Comprehensive Natural Hormone Health Support

Hormone imbalances can affect nearly every aspect of your health and well-being. When you’re struggling with symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, or sleep disturbances, you want doctors who understand the complex interplay of hormonal systems and who treat you as a whole person.

At Paracelsus Natural Family Health Center, we provide comprehensive naturopathic hormone support for patients of all ages and genders. Our approach integrates the best of conventional diagnostics with effective natural treatments to help restore balance, alleviate symptoms, and improve your overall quality of life.

You don’t have to manage hormone imbalances alone. At Paracelsus, we work with you to provide a customized plan tailored to your specific hormonal needs.

Dr. Simon Barker specializes in hormone health and has extensive training in treating thyroid conditions, menopause, osteoporosis, diabetes, and transgender health. His comprehensive approach combines advanced testing with natural treatment strategies to address the root causes of hormonal imbalances.

Addressing Common Hormone Issues

Hormone imbalances can manifest in many ways, including fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, sleep disturbances, and reproductive issues. These symptoms can significantly impact your quality of life and may be dismissed by conventional medicine as “normal aging” or “just stress.”

Our natural approach can help address these challenges:

  • Targeted nutritional therapy to support hormone production
  • Herbal medicines to help balance hormone levels naturally
  • Bioidentical hormone replacement when necessary
  • Thyroid and adrenal optimization for improved energy and metabolism
  • Stress reduction techniques to support adrenal function

If you’ve been struggling with unexplained symptoms or have been told “everything is normal” despite feeling unwell, the doctors at Paracelsus can help you discover and address the root causes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is natural hormone therapy safe?

Yes, when properly managed by a trained naturopathic doctor. Our approach is designed to support your body’s natural hormone balance with minimal side effects. Bioidentical hormones, when appropriate, have a molecular structure identical to what your body produces naturally.

Will natural treatments interfere with my current medications?

We specifically design your protocol to avoid any negative interactions. During your initial consultation, we’ll review all current medications and design a treatment plan that works safely alongside them.

Does insurance cover naturopathic hormone treatments?

Some insurance plans cover our services as out-of-network providers. We can provide detailed medical receipts for you to submit for reimbursement. Many patients also use HSA or FSA accounts to cover naturopathic care.

When should I seek help for hormone imbalances?

If you’re experiencing symptoms like persistent fatigue, unexplained weight changes, mood swings, sleep disturbances, irregular periods, hot flashes, or low libido, it’s worth investigating potential hormone imbalances.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Please bring your medical records, including any previous hormone testing, recent lab work, and a list of all medications and supplements you’re currently taking. Also helpful is a symptom journal noting patterns in your energy, mood, sleep, and any other relevant symptoms.
