Hormone Balancing
Hormonal imbalances can cause a wide range of symptoms, from fatigue and mood swings to weight gain and hot flashes. At Aesthetic Options, we offer hormone balancing services to help restore optimal levels of hormones and alleviate these symptoms.
Hormones are chemicals produced by glands in the endocrine system and released into the bloodstream. An imbalance occurs when there is too much or too little of a hormone. Your hormones are important for regulating many different processes in the body including appetite and metabolism, sleep cycles, reproductive cycles and sexual function, body temperature and mood.
Levels of hormones naturally fluctuate at various life stages, most noticeably during puberty and in women during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause. They can also be affected by lifestyle and certain medical conditions.
Our experienced healthcare professionals take a personalized approach to hormone balancing, starting with a comprehensive evaluation of your symptoms, medical history, and hormone levels. We offer a range of treatment options, including bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, nutritional counselling, and lifestyle modifications.
