Personalized Approach
By considering and addressing other factors affecting optimal health, and taking a personalized approach to diagnostic testing, an open-minded and knowledgeable practitioner can identify hormone imbalances. This identification is essential. Patients often request appointments with me and my practice because they are frustrated.
They suffer from a variety of symptoms that impact their quality of life. Some problematic symptoms are chronic and persistent and may be vague. Most often, my patients have exhausted other options. They have partaken in assessments from a variety of alternative and conventional practitioners, and have undergone multiple diagnostic tests—tests that seldom investigate hormones.
It is beneficial when a patient comes prepared with information related to the onset of symptoms, treatments that have been tried (conventional and alternative), possible external stressors, and history of diagnostic testing results. Armed with these details, I am better able to understand the root cause of symptoms, identify proper diagnostic testing, and create an accurate treatment plan.
You, Only Better
Every person is unique. Everyone’s experiences are different. A customized approach to hormonal health can provide life-changing results. A comprehensive hormonal assessment benefits individuals with no specific areas of concern and those who suffer chronic symptoms that impact the quality of life. Only by identifying the source of symptoms and reaching for optimum health do we achieve our goals, a future that includes good health.
