The female endocrine system is a delicate and vital part of a woman’s health, regulating everything from reproductive function to mood and metabolism. At Patients Medical in New York City, we take a comprehensive approach to treating endocrine disorders in women. Our integrative care combines conventional, holistic, and functional medicine to uncover the root causes of hormone imbalances and treat them naturally—without simply masking symptoms.
We treat the whole person, not just individual symptoms.
The female endocrine system consists of glands that produce hormones regulating critical functions such as metabolism, reproduction, and emotional well-being. Imbalances in these hormones can lead to a variety of conditions that impact a woman’s overall health and quality of life.
Common conditions that affect the female endocrine system include:
Many women experience hormonal imbalances without understanding the underlying causes. Here are common symptoms that may indicate an endocrine system disorder:
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is essential to seek evaluation and testing to understand the root cause of your condition.

Our medically supervised weight loss programs target insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction, helping women achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

Yes, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common causes of hormonal imbalance in women, often leading to irregular periods, excessive hair growth, and insulin resistance.
Thyroid imbalances, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, can be caused by autoimmune conditions, nutritional deficiencies, stress, or environmental toxins.
During menopause, the body experiences significant hormonal shifts, particularly a decline in estrogen and progesterone levels, leading to symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and changes in metabolism.
Natural treatments for hormonal imbalance may include dietary changes, stress management techniques, herbal supplements, acupuncture, and bioidentical hormone therapy.
Chronic stress leads to an increase in cortisol, which can disrupt the balance of other hormones like thyroid hormones and sex hormones, contributing to conditions like adrenal dysfunction and menstrual irregularities.
Yes, a balanced diet rich in whole foods, healthy fats, lean proteins, and anti-inflammatory nutrients can support hormonal health. Specific diets, such as the Mediterranean or keto-inspired diet, can be particularly beneficial for women with hormone imbalances.
The adrenal glands produce hormones like cortisol, adrenaline, and DHEA, which help manage stress, energy levels, and reproductive functions. Adrenal dysfunction can lead to fatigue, weight gain, and other hormonal issues
