Hormonal Balance with Functional Medicine

Hormonal Balance with Functional Medicine

Hormonal imbalance isn’t rare anymore—it’s rampant.

And it’s no surprise when you consider how many things in modern life can throw our internal systems off balance. From high stress and poor sleep, to chemical-laden food, hormone-disrupting toxins, gut issues, long-term birth control, and chronic inflammation, your endocrine system is under constant pressure.

Even natural life phases—like puberty, postpartum, and menopause—can become overwhelming when compounded by stress, nutrient deficiencies, or poor detox function.

Hormonal imbalances can show up as a wide range of symptoms: fatigue, weight gain, anxiety, sleep issues, mood swings, irregular cycles, low libido—and yet, most patients are told they’re “fine” because their lab work doesn’t flag anything alarming in a conventional panel.

This happens because standard bloodwork is often too limited to catch the subtle shifts happening in your hormonal system. Hormones function like an orchestra: when even one instrument is off, the whole song feels wrong. But most traditional medicine only listens to a few notes—and misses the disharmony.

Here’s what’s usually missed:

• How your hormones fluctuate over time (like estrogen and progesterone throughout your cycle)
• How well your body clears excess hormones (especially through your liver and gut)
• How your stress hormones (like cortisol) impact your sex hormones
• Whether your thyroid is sluggish despite being “in range”

At Mountain Movement Chiropractic & Natural Health, we approach hormone health differently.

We use a functional medicine model that looks deeper. We don’t just chase symptoms—we uncover patterns. We evaluate your stress levels, liver function, gut health, sleep rhythms, and more—because they’re all connected to how your hormones behave.

Whether you're struggling with painful cycles, thyroid dysfunction, menopause symptoms, infertility, or post-birth exhaustion, our mission is to restore hormonal balance naturally—without masking your body’s signals.

This isn’t quick-fix care. It’s personalized restoration.

Because when your hormones are balanced, your mood is stable, your energy returns, and you finally feel like yourself again.

Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance We Commonly Treat

Hormonal imbalance can look different for every person—but one thing is consistent: it impacts your quality of life. If you’ve been told your labs are “normal,” but you still feel off, chances are your body is speaking in subtler signals that haven’t been fully explored.

At Mountain Movement Chiropractic & Natural Health, we recognize the patterns your body is trying to reveal—and we treat the whole picture.

Here are some of the most common symptoms of hormonal imbalance we help patients resolve naturally:

Fatigue That Doesn’t Go Away with Rest

Low energy, afternoon crashes, or dragging through the day despite caffeine or sleep may point to adrenal fatigue or thyroid dysregulation.

Irregular Periods, PMS, or PCOS

Painful cycles, long gaps between periods, mood swings, or acne often suggest estrogen dominance, progesterone deficiency, or androgen imbalance.

Menopause and Perimenopause Symptoms

Hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, and mood instability aren’t just “part of aging”—they’re signs your body needs support transitioning through hormonal change.

Low Libido

Sex hormone imbalances, cortisol overload, or thyroid issues can all suppress libido. We dig into the deeper why—then help restore it naturally.

Thyroid Dysfunction

Feeling cold all the time? Hair thinning? Weight gain without diet change? These can all indicate low thyroid function—even if your TSH is “in range.”

Anxiety, Depression & Mood Swings

Your brain chemistry is deeply influenced by hormone levels—especially estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol. If you’re feeling emotionally unstable or “not like yourself,” we look at the hormonal drivers behind it.

Estrogen Dominance

Too much estrogen, or poor estrogen detox, can cause bloating, breast tenderness, heavy periods, and irritability. We help restore proper estrogen-progesterone balance.

Adrenal Fatigue / Cortisol Imbalance

Burnout, poor sleep, inflammation, and weight gain around the belly are signs your stress system is dysregulated. We use cortisol mapping to find your stress patterns and support adrenal recovery.

Fertility Challenges

We work with women who have trouble conceiving due to cycle irregularity, low progesterone, or underlying inflammation. Functional hormone care supports fertility from the inside out.

Chronic Migraines, Sleep Trouble & Stubborn Weight

Hormones regulate everything from pain thresholds to metabolism to sleep cycles. If your body feels stuck, your hormones may be out of sync.

Functional Testing for Hormone Health

If you’ve ever been told “your labs are normal” while still struggling with fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, or painful cycles—you're not alone.

The problem isn’t just your hormones. The problem is how they’re being tested.

At Mountain Movement Chiropractic & Natural Health, we use advanced functional testing to go far beyond basic bloodwork. We don’t just look at a snapshot—we study your hormone rhythm, detox pathways, and how your entire system is processing hormonal signals.

Here’s how we uncover the full story:

DUTCH Complete & DUTCH Cycle Mapping

This gold-standard test reveals:

• How your body produces and metabolizes estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA
• Daily cortisol rhythms and adrenal function
• Markers of oxidative stress, inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies
• Monthly hormone fluctuations across your cycle (ideal for fertility, PMS, or perimenopause cases)

Instead of guessing when your symptoms are “hormonal,” we see exactly how and when imbalances are occurring.

Qest4 Bioenergetic Scan

Your nervous system knows things your blood can’t show.

This non-invasive scan detects energetic stress patterns across hormonal, detox, immune, and endocrine systems—often revealing hidden blocks to healing that aren’t picked up on conventional labs.

We use this to guide supplement protocols and fine-tune your personalized care plan.

Thyroid Panel: Full Spectrum

We go beyond a simple TSH test. Our thyroid evaluation includes:

• Free T3 and T4 – active hormones that affect energy and metabolism
• Reverse T3 – a stress-related blocker of thyroid function
• Thyroid antibodies – to detect autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s early

This gives us a full picture of how your thyroid is really functioning—not just how it looks on paper.

GI and Liver Testing

Your gut and liver are critical for hormone clearance—especially estrogen. If they’re sluggish or inflamed, hormones can recirculate and trigger issues like PMS, weight gain, or mood swings.

We test:

• Gut microbiome balance
• Leaky gut / permeability
• Liver enzyme pathways
• Detox capacity and nutrient absorption

Because hormone health starts with how well your body processes and eliminates waste.

How We Restore Hormonal Balance Naturally

At Mountain Movement Chiropractic & Natural Health, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter hormone protocols. Your body is unique, and so is your healing journey.

Instead of masking symptoms or forcing your body with synthetic hormone replacement, we take a root-cause approach to restore balance naturally—by supporting the systems that control your hormones in the first place.

Personalized Care Plan

Every patient receives a plan tailored to their:

• Lab results
• Symptom patterns
• Life demands
• Stress load
• Cycle or stage of life

This isn’t a plug-and-play protocol—it’s a roadmap based on your data, story, and goals.

Nutrition & Supplementation

Food is your first and most powerful hormone therapy.

We build a sustainable plan that includes:

• Hormone-supportive foods (healthy fats, fiber, cruciferous veggies, and clean protein)
• Adaptogenic herbs to balance cortisol and ease stress responses
• Liver support to promote estrogen detox and reduce PMS or estrogen dominance
• Minerals and nutrients critical for thyroid, adrenal, and sex hormone production

We also test your current supplements to make sure they’re helping—not hurting—your progress.

Nervous System Support

Hormones don’t just live in the blood—they respond to the nervous system.

Through chiropractic care and our signature Neuro Reset Therapy, we calm the stress response and bring the body back into a parasympathetic (rest-and-heal) state. When the nervous system is balanced, cortisol stabilizes, sleep improves, and hormones recalibrate.

This is especially important for patients dealing with burnout, adrenal fatigue, anxiety, or sleep disruption.

Detox & Lifestyle Medicine

Your liver, gut, and lymphatic system are constantly working to clear excess hormones, toxins, and stress metabolites.

We support this process by:

• Restoring liver enzyme activity
• Encouraging daily movement and sweat therapy
• Aligning your habits with your natural circadian rhythm
• Teaching better sleep, light exposure, and breathwork to enhance hormonal resilience

Because true hormone balance doesn’t come from chasing one gland—it comes from restoring your entire system.
