Hormonal Health
The endocrine system is comprised of a network of glands that produces hormones that balance bodily functions like growth, metabolism, and mood. Hormones are chemical messengers that continuously race through the body, delivering vital information and stimulating critical responses, all which work together to maintain homeostasis. If something interferes with this complex messaging system the body's internal workings can become imbalanced resulting in a myriad of symptoms and illnesses. At Patients Medical we are able to perform the tests necessary to determine the imbalance and to create a personalized treatment plan to bring your body back into harmony and to enhance your wellness path.

Thyroid hormones regulate all metabolic activity. Because the effects can be far-reaching, thyroid dysregulation can have a significant impact on long-term health. Are you tired of being tired? If so, your cortisol levels may be out of balance, which can impact your thyroid hormones, cholesterol, or blood pressure. Patients Medical is one of a handful of practices in the US that utilizes the TRH Stimulation Test, along with a comprehensive thyroid evaluation, to pinpoint the cause and support your health and wellness.

With millions of people affected with diabetes, many unaware of their diagnosis, diabetes has become a national health crisis. When the body is unable to efficiently convert sugar and starch into a usable energy source, the result can potentially be devastating if left untreated. At Patients Medical we are able to diagnose insulin resistance and create a holistic treatment plan to help you bring your life under control, and in the case of Type II diabetes, sometimes even reverse it.

The adrenal glands secrete hormones that help us handle stress, including our fight-or-flight response. Prolonged and chronic stress can deplete our bodies, and cause the adrenal glands to work too hard for too long, resulting in adrenal fatigue syndrome. At Patients Medical we perform a comprehensive medical interview and medical testing to make a proper diagnosis and design a customized therapy program for you.
