Hormone Imbalance Q & A
What Is Hormone Imbalance?
Hormone imbalance, or endocrinopathy, is a health condition that involves imbalance and disruption of your endocrine system, which controls your body’s hormone production.
Your endocrine glands produce hormones throughout your body and when these glands produce too little or too much of certain hormones, it causes a hormone imbalance. Hormone imbalance can lead to a number of health problems.
Menopause is a natural transitional phase of a woman’s life where she naturally produces less of the female reproductive hormones, such as estrogen. Men also go through a natural transitional phase called andropause, where they produce less of the important male reproductive hormones, such as testosterone. Lower levels of these reproductive hormones can present uncomfortable symptoms and increase health risks.
XBody Health, Wellness & Spa treats various hormone disorders, including low testosterone and low estrogen and progesterone.
Hormonal Imbalance Symptoms Include:
- Weight gain
- Fatigue
- Brain fog or forgetfulness
- Difficulty sleeping
- Decreased sex drive
- Loss of muscle mass
- Night sweats
- Depression
- Hair thinning or hair loss
- Dry skin
- Anxiety
- Mood changes or irritability
- Joint pain
- Difficulty concentrating
Sexual dysfunction is also commonly associated with hormone imbalance.
How Is Hormone Imbalance Treated?
Your XBody Health, Wellness & Spa provider starts by evaluating your health and determining the type and extent of your hormone imbalance. After your personal consultation and any necessary testing and blood work, your provider creates an individualized treatment plan that might involve:
- Improved nutrition
- Regular exercise
- Stress management
- Hormone therapy
- IV therapy
- Vitamins and supplements
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy
XBody Health, Wellness & Spa provides bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and offers naturopathic and integrative solutions to regulate your hormones. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy involves hormones that are identical in molecular structure to the ones produced by your body
Hormones can be administered in different ways, such as oral supplements or pellet therapy, where your provider gently inserts a small hormone-secreting pellet under your skin. This helps modulate hormone imbalance symptoms over a longer period of time without the need for action on the patient’s part.
Hormones play an integral role in your overall health. Both men and women experience hormonal changes that can significantly decrease their quality of life. Having too much or too little of just one hormone can have consequences throughout the body. These include stress, poor food choices, inadequate sleep, and a sedentary lifestyle can cause hormonal imbalance. To achieve hormonal harmony, contact us today.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy For Women
Have you lost your youthful glow and think you may have a hormone imbalance?
Hormones are responsible for the functioning of a woman's body: for well-being, mood, and health.
As women age, female hormone levels may become low or imbalanced. This can lead to adrenal fatigue, menopause, and other hormone deficiencies.

What is BHRT and what are the benefits of BHRT?
BHRT stands for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Bioidentical hormones are man-made hormones that are very close to hormones the body makes. BHRT can help improve many symptoms that arise from low or imbalanced hormone levels. BHRT can help:
- Decrease weight and increase lean muscle mass
- Improve energy levels and stamina
- Decrease hot flashes
- Alleviate night sweats
- Enhance mood
- Eliminate mood swings
- Stop vaginal dryness
- Restore sex drive
- Boost memory and concentration
- Reduce depression
What Is Hormone Pellet Therapy?
One popular type of BHRT is the pellet implant. With this method, small implants are placed under the skin, and hormones are released over a period of time.
What Are The Side Effects of BHRT?
When beginning BHRT, you may experience some side effects. These side effects are mild and tend to go away as your body adjusts to the hormones. Side effects may include acne, breast tenderness, bloating, and menstrual spotting.
