HORMONES
Hormone balance is about more than your hormones.
Food and lifestyle choices, stress, sleep quality, environmental toxins, gut health, nutritional status, detox pathways, immune function, and more ALL impact your hormones! That's why hormone harmony is about more than taking hormones.
my EXPERTISE:
PERIMENOPAUSE
Balancing hormones during your 40s requires a whole-body approach.
METABOLIC HEALTH
Thyroid, insulin, adrenals, and more impact your weight + metabolism.
PERIOD PROBLEMS
Painful, heavy, missing, or irregular periods are signs of deeper issues.
Hormone tests can be normal.
You can have hormonal imbalances and still have normal hormone test results!
Testing is a snapshot in time, but your hormones fluctuate throughout the day and over the course of your cycle! There are also limitations to what hormone testing can actually tell you about your hormone levels. This is why your overall symptom picture is ALWAYS more important than your test results! It's also why you need someone on your team that understands how other parts of your health affect your hormones, and vice-versa. It's all connected!
Your different hormones are connected.
Your hormones are intimately connected, and imbalances in one area can affect hormones in other areas. Creating hormonal harmony requires paying attention to each tier of The Hormone Pyramid!
Hormone imbalances are NOT a root cause! The root cause is deeper!
This may come as a surprise to you, but hormone imbalances are not actually a root cause!
This is because hormone imbalances are caused by a deeper issue!
There are REASONS your hormones are imbalanced, and those reasons are the root causes.
So what makes your hormones get out-of-whack?
Things like dietary habits, lifestyle choices, nutritional deficiencies, inadequate sleep, excess or unmanaged stress, toxins and sluggish detox pathways, gut dysfunction, microbiome disturbances, and chronic infections.
That's why it's not as simple as taking hormones to address hormone imbalances!
To heal your hormones, you have to address YOUR root causes!
Working with Dr. Mamie on my chronic health issues surrounding my gut, hormones and stress management has been incredibly invaluable. Dr. Mamie has allowed me to feel seen and heard, as she is an excellent listener, communicator and is very encouraging. Being provided this safe space within the health field has helped empower me to approach all future medical appointments with confidence to ask any and all health questions without fear of not being taken seriously, and to expect the best care from my practitioner (like I received with working with Dr. Mamie).
I have gained a wealth of knowledge I would have never considered if I had not worked with Dr. Mamie, especially regarding stress management, gut health and hormone balance, and now I can more confidently go forward in my health journey armed with this empowering information. I learned so much regarding how nutrition and stress can impact the gut microbiome, which has resulted in much improvement in my digestion. I also finally felt heard regarding my struggles of period pain and acne after coming off of the birth control pill for over a decade. Through these informative discussions with Dr. Mamie, I was finally able to discover I had endometriosis, which Dr. Mamie helped me thoughtfully seek out appropriate integrative care to surgically treat this. I also no longer have acne, which I had previously thought might never be a possibility for me.
Dr. Mamie is very adaptable and thoughtful in how to make recommendations fit into your budget and lifestyle, and always encourages you that every step you take counts towards your better overall health. She is willing to go the extra mile to provide you with the most thorough and informative care possible, and is willing to answer any and all questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking help with their chronic health issues. ~P.C.
