Holistic & Natural Treatments to Balance Hormones
Hormone imbalances can cause a variety of unpleasant symptoms, but using band-aids to temporarily control the symptoms is not going to address the underlying issue and can lead to further imbalance in the body.
Symptoms are the body’s way of telling us something is not right internally. When these underlying imbalances are corrected, symptoms consequently resolve in a natural manner.
At Thrive Naturopathic our team uses naturopathic and functional medicine to address the root cause of your hormonal imbalance – giving you long-term relief and resolution of your symptoms and setting you up for a future of health and longevity!
We invite you to schedule a free Discovery Call with a Thrive team member so you can get to the bottom of your fatigue, weight gain, sleep issues and other signs of hormonal imbalance. We’re located in Alexandria and work both in-person and virtually with people throughout the Washington DC area and beyond.

Modern Life Could Be Making Your Hormone Imbalance Worse
So many aspects of modern life can interfere with our hormones. The constant stress and demands, the lack of movement and exercise, inadequate nutrition, disrupted sleep and environmental chemicals can all play a role in destabilizing the hormonal balance our body needs to keep us on track.
To address this we need to take steps to limit the influence of these negative factors by modifying our lifestyle. But we also need to take proactive measures to improve the strength and resilience of our bodies so we can withstand some of life’s inevitable stressors.
Optimizing our diet and exercise routine for our specific biochemistry as well as using natural therapies such as homeopathy and herbal medicines can help create the hormonal balance we need – giving us the strength and vitality necessary to take on the challenges of modern life!

Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by high blood sugar levels that can lead to a range of complications, including nerve damage, kidney failure, and cardiovascular disease. While traditional medicine focuses on managing the symptoms of diabetes through the use of medications, functional medicine takes a holistic approach to treatment, aiming to address the root cause of the disease. Through specialized testing and analysis, functional medicine practitioners can identify the underlying factors contributing to the development of diabetes, such as poor diet, lack of exercise, and chronic stress.

Menopause and Irregular Periods
Menopause can be an uncomfortable time for women in their late 40s or early 50s โ you feel like your body is changing in ways beyond your control. As your ovaries gradually stop producing estrogen and progesterone you can develop a range of symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. Similarly, menstrual symptoms and irregularity can also occur at various ages - leading to discomfort and stress that affects your quality of life. Many women have debilitating symptoms every month. And if you are entering perimenopause you may begin to notice your body changing. While conventional medicine often treats these conditions with hormone replacement therapy, functional and naturopathic medicine offers a more holistic approach. By analyzing individualized factors such as stress levels, nutritional status and gut health our functional medicine practitioners can develop personalized treatment plans that help you reduce symptoms and regulate your bodies.

Thyroid Conditions
Thyroid conditions are a common hormone imbalance that affects millions of people worldwide. These conditions are caused by an imbalance in thyroid hormone levels, which can lead to a range of symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, and hair loss. While conventional medicine typically treats thyroid conditions with synthetic hormone replacement therapy, functional medicine takes a more comprehensive approach that includes natural supplements, dietary changes, and stress management techniques.
What Does a Naturopathic Treatment Plan for Hormone Imbalances Look Like?
Once the underlying causes of the hormone imbalances have been identified, our naturopathic practitioners in Alexandria will develop a personalized treatment plan that may include a variety of natural remedies and therapies. These may include dietary changes, herbal supplements, stress-reducing techniques and other natural treatments that can help restore balance to the body’s natural hormone levels.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy is one of the most powerful ways to address hormonal imbalances. This gentle system of medicine uses very specific formulations of plant and mineral remedies to stimulate the body's ability to come into balance.
For example, in menopause, hormone production slows. However, it is not the absolute amount of hormones but the balance of these hormones that affects how we feel. Homeopathy can help to balance the remaining hormones to bring relief and also strengthen the body for the future.
Nutritional Therapy
Another approach used in naturopathic medicine to address hormone imbalances is nutritional therapy. By identifying and addressing nutrient deficiencies that may be disrupting your hormones, you can restore balance and improve your overall health.
Specific and individualized dietary changes are also a powerful way to affect hormones - by reducing inflammation in the gut and increase the health of the liver. The liver is the organ responsible for metabolizing hormones.
Exercise and Stress Management
Stress management techniques are another essential component of naturopathic medicine for hormone imbalances. Many of us in the Washington DC area face multiple stressors in our busy lives and stress can have a significant impact on hormone health - leading to a variety of symptoms. Naturopathic practitioners may recommend stress-reducing techniques such as meditation, yoga or mindfulness to help patients manage their stress levels and restore balance to their hormones.
