Hormonal Imbalance

THE PATIENT:

Meena G. 56-year-old TV production manager from New York City. She was always a very energetic outgoing extrovert type of person, she was always the first one to say "yes" or "lets do it!" lately, Meena has become the complete opposite of herself. She is fatigued all the time and now experiencing anxiety attacks, bad mood swings, insomnia, depression and hot flashes. Meena is a mess.

Meena was never the person to just give up on life she is a fighter. Meena did a mental check on herself “whats wrong with me” she asked herself? Determined to find out what was going on with her body she decided to do some research online about her symptoms and was led to believe she had some type of hormone or thyroid issue.

THE SOLUTION:

With further research, Meena ended up on Patients Medical website. Patient Medical is a holistic wellness center that combines the best of conventional and holistic medicine with state of the art equipment to provide comprehensive care and treatment to their patients. They focus on the root causes of secondary medical conditions, integrating modern medicine, holistic practices, and natural supplements to spark healing and prevent disease. They also specialized in hormone therapy so if that was Meena’s problem she felt that she would be in good hands.

Patient Medical is in New York City. It’s run by Dr. Gulati, a very famous Holistic Doctor. Dr. Gulati is a Board Certified Holistic Internal Medicine Practitioner with two MD's - one each in Internal Medicine and Pathology. Dr. Gulati has over 20 years of medical experience and has hospital privileges at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Manhattan.

Meena immediately made an appointment with Dr. Rashmi Gulati. On the day of her appointment, Dr. Gulati gave her a one hour and a half consultation. She gathered a detailed medical history on Meena. Next Dr. Gulati ordered a Blood test, urine test, resting ECG test and a specific Bioidentical Hormone level test.

Meena results came back showing her hormonal level were indeed imbalanced, she was pre-diabetic and had high blood pressure. Meena now knew why she felt like a mess.

Dr. Gulati put Meena on BHRT bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (naturally derived hormones that are compounded to fit Meena’s individual’s body chemistry, allowing for personalized care and effective results.) Meena was also put on chelation therapy, vitamin IV drips and a diet and key supplement plan.

THE RESULT:

After 2 weeks Meena felt let herself again. Her energy level was back, her anxiety attacks, bad mood swings, insomnia, depression and hot flashes were gone. The bio-identical hormone replacement therapy had stabilized her hormone levels. Meena was overjoyed to feel like herself again, she is back at work and ready to go!

Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance FAQ

Hormones affect so many different aspects of physiology, the outward symptoms tend to be varied and nonspecific. Symptoms of hormonal imbalance include:

What are Hormones?

Hormones are chemicals that send signals between cells in the body, regulating everything from a person's blood pressure to how well they sleep at night. They play roles in such diverse processes including growth, cell repair, appetite, metabolism, fertility, reproduction and regulation of pain.

These physiological messengers are produced throughout the body, and through their communication with our organs and one another, they help maintain a balance designed to keep a person happy and healthy.

Where do Hormones Come From and How Do They Work?

Hormones are released from the exocrine and endocrine glands in the body. Exocrine glands include sweat, salivary, and sebaceous glands. Endocrine glands, include the sex glands (ovaries and testes), thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and pituitary gland.

Each hormone recognizes where it is meant to be through recognition of a receptor protein on the cells of the destination organ. The hormone and its receptor fit together like a lock and key, guaranteeing that hormones will only affect the intended organs. When the targeted organ senses that there is a hormone bound to its receptor, it responds to the signal, changing the balance of the body's chemistry. Hormone release is regulated through feedback from the body, a clever strategy that allows the body to keep itself balanced.

What is Hormonal Imbalance Test?

Sometimes the delicate balance of hormones is disrupted. Hormonal imbalances can occur in both men and women of any age, though it is most commonly seen in adults beyond middle age.

The most common naturally occurring hormone imbalances are:

• Menopause: Induces an imbalance in estrogen and progesterone and puts women at risk for osteoporosis, breast and uterine cancer, and heart disease.
• Diabetes: Occurs when there is not enough insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreas that affects metabolism.
• Thyroid Imbalance: Over and under activity of the production of thyroid hormones are quite common and sometimes detected even in children. Untreated patients are at risk for developing heart disease and high cholesterol. Significant complications may also occur during the pregnancies of affected women.

All hormonal imbalances can manifest themselves in a wide variety of physical and emotional symptoms. Sustained hormonal imbalance can have severe and potentially fatal complications, so diagnosis and treatment is critical for general health and well-being.
