Hormonal Imbalance

Hormonal Imbalance

Introduction: Why Hormone Health Demands a New Approach

Hormonal imbalances are behind so many symptoms—yet most people are either over-medicated or completely overlooked. At Patients Medical in NYC, we take a smarter, root-cause approach. Our integrative hormone treatment goes beyond lab numbers to treat the whole person.

From perimenopause to thyroid issues, adrenal fatigue to andropause, our holistic strategy merges functional medicine, natural remedies, and bioidentical hormone therapy to help your body rebalance—gently, safely, and sustainably.

What Are Hormonal Imbalances?

Hormones are your body’s chemical messengers. When even one is out of sync, you may feel “off” physically, mentally, or emotionally. These imbalances can be caused by stress, aging, gut issues, toxins, or poor lifestyle habits.

Common Hormonal Conditions We Treat:
  • Menopause & perimenopause
  • Low testosterone / andropause
  • Thyroid dysfunction (hypothyroid, Hashimoto’s)
  • Adrenal fatigue & cortisol imbalance
  • Estrogen dominance
  • PCOS & irregular cycles
  • PMS, mood swings, and anxiety

Insulin resistance & metabolic dysfunction

Real Case Study: Lisa’s Hormone Reset

Lisa, 48, came to us struggling with hot flashes, fatigue, anxiety, and weight gain. She was told by her primary care doctor to “just wait it out.”
Our testing revealed:

  • Low estrogen and progesterone
  • High cortisol
  • Borderline hypothyroidism
  • Poor detox function

We created a 4-month plan that included:

  • Bioidentical hormones (cream-based)
  • Gut and liver detox
  • Adrenal support herbs
  • Nutrient-rich, hormone-supportive meals
  • Weekly IV therapy

By month four, Lisa’s sleep, energy, and confidence were back—and so was her metabolism.
