Hormone Balancing

Balance Your Mood

Endocrinology is a branch of medicine concerned with the structure, function, and disorders of the endocrine glands. Each of these glands secretes a hormone which in turn affects different organs in the body. A balanced hormone is very important as they affect our overall health. Patients are often more familiar with the thyroid gland BUT our adrenals, parathyroid, pituitary, gonads, and hypothalamus are equally important as well.

If one gland is off, be rest assured others will take a beating sooner or later. For example, it is not uncommon for patients who suffer from adrenal fatigue to have poor sugar handling, which is controlled by the hormone; insulin. Over time, that can lead to a decrease in metabolism and in turn affect your thyroid function.
