Best Holistic Gynecologists in New York

Introduction: Why Holistic Gynecology Needs a New Approach

Women’s health issues, particularly gynecological conditions, are often treated with standard medications or procedures that may only address symptoms, not the root causes. At Patients Medical, we take a holistic and integrative approach to women’s health, focusing on the entire body and addressing underlying imbalances that contribute to conditions like PCOS, fibroids, endometriosis, menstrual disorders, and more.

We treat the whole person—not just the reproductive system.

What Is Holistic Gynecology?

Holistic gynecology is an approach that considers the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of a woman’s health. It recognizes the interconnectedness of the body and works to optimize hormone levels, reduce inflammation, balance the immune system, and heal the gut, which are all critical factors in reproductive health.

Holistic gynecology may include treatments for conditions such as:

  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
  • Endometriosis
  • Fibroids
  • Irregular periods
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Menopausal symptoms
  • Infertility
  • Chronic pelvic pain

By focusing on diet, lifestyle, stress reduction, and natural therapies, holistic gynecology can help you achieve optimal health, naturally.

Common Symptoms of Gynecological Issues

Root Causes: Why Did You Develop Gynecological Issues?

Functional medicine focuses on uncovering the why behind chronic gynecological issues. Common root causes include:

  • Hormonal imbalances: Estrogen dominance, progesterone deficiency, or thyroid dysfunction can lead to reproductive health issues.
  • Chronic stress: Elevated cortisol levels can disrupt hormonal balance and affect menstrual cycles.
  • Leaky gut and inflammation: Gut health plays a significant role in hormonal regulation and immune function.
  • Nutritional deficiencies: Lack of essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin D, iodine, and magnesium, can negatively impact reproductive health.
  • Toxin overload: Exposure to endocrine disruptors, such as heavy metals and plastics, can affect hormone regulation.
  • Poor liver function: The liver plays a vital role in detoxification and hormone metabolism.
  • Autoimmune disorders: Conditions like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or lupus may exacerbate gynecological problems.

Diagnostic Testing We Use

At Patients Medical, we use comprehensive diagnostic tests to determine the root causes of gynecological issues:

Hormonal panels (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, cortisol)

Ultrasound and pelvic imaging (for fibroids, cysts, and endometriosis)

Blood tests (nutrient deficiencies, liver function, inflammation markers)

Genetic testing (MTHFR, estrogen metabolism)

Gut health testing (stool microbiome, leaky gut)

Heavy metal testing (toxic exposure)

Infectious disease screening (for STIs or chronic infections)

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) testing (to assess for viral triggers)

Real Case Study: Maria’s Holistic Journey to Healing

Maria, 40, came to us with symptoms of irregular periods, severe cramps, and infertility. After a comprehensive evaluation, we found elevated estrogen levels, adrenal fatigue, and a gut imbalance.

We created a 3-month integrative plan with:

  • Nutrient-dense anti-inflammatory meal plan
  • Herbal supplements for hormonal balance
  • Gut repair protocol
  • Mindfulness and stress management
  • Bioidentical hormone therapy

Three months later, Maria’s symptoms had improved significantly, and she was able to conceive naturally. She felt more energized, her cycles became regular, and she was off hormonal medications with her doctor’s approval.
