Women's Health Archives - Being Functional

At Being Functional, we understand women's health issues often require specialized attention and care. Our approach is centered on understanding and balancing hormones, which are usually at the heart of many of the health challenges women face from puberty through menopause and beyond.

Comprehensive Hormone Review and Prescription Management

We begin with a thorough review of your hormonal health, using advanced testing techniques to map out imbalances and deficiencies that could be contributing to your symptoms. Following this comprehensive assessment, we provide personalized recommendations. This includes the careful selection and dosing of medications, possibly incorporating bio-identical hormones, which are designed to mimic the natural hormones in your body closely. Our goal is to restore balance and optimize your hormonal health with precision and care.

Laboratory Review for Bio-identical Hormone Management

For those specifically interested in bio-identical hormone therapy, we offer detailed laboratory reviews to ensure that your treatment is finely tuned to your body’s needs. Bio-identical hormones offer a natural and effective way to alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances, such as menopause, PMS, and other hormonal disorders. Our experts analyze your lab results to tailor a therapy regimen that aligns with your unique physiological makeup, ensuring that you receive the most targeted and effective treatment.

These services are ideal for anyone looking to address specific hormonal issues or seeking to improve their overall health through hormone balance. Whether you are dealing with fatigue, weight issues, mood swings, or reproductive health concerns, our hormone management plans are designed to provide relief and promote long-term wellness.

Other Common Women's Health Issues We Service:

Menopause

Through personalized advanced specialized laboratory testing we create treatment plans that help women achieve optimal health and well-being in menopause. We utilize bioidentical hormones to alleviate the many real symptoms of menopause including hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings and insomnia. Focusing on longevity and healthspan, our scientifically-backed bioidentical hormone treatments effectively manage menopause-related changes. These treatments not only alleviate symptoms but also enhance heart, brain, and bone health, contributing to improved overall longevity.

Perimenopause

Perimenopause is the transitional phase before menopause, often lasting several years, during which time women often experience the effects of estrogen dominant hormone imbalance with fluctuating hormone levels. This period is characterized by symptoms such as irregular menstrual cycles, often heavy flow, and breast tenderness and significant mood swings, irritability and worsening in premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) symptoms. The hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause can lead to significant ups and downs that impact daily life, making effective management and support essential for maintaining well-being.

PCOS/Infertility

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can stem from factors such as metabolic health issues, obesity, insulin resistance, stress, inflammation, and post-birth control use. We address PCOS with personalized care, utilizing specialized testing to uncover and treat the root causes of this condition. Our integrative treatment plans focus on diet, exercise, and hormone regulation and key supplements that help manage symptoms, healthy weight loss and improve fertility.

Menstrual Health and PMDD/PMS

Heavy or irregular periods, menstrual cramps, hormonal acne, mood swings, and irritability can significantly impact a woman's quality of life. Our comprehensive approach includes thorough diagnostic testing to uncover the underlying causes and personalized treatment plans. We often begin by addressing gut health, which is frequently linked to hormonal imbalances. Additionally, we focus on estrogen metabolism with specialized supplements that target women's health issues, providing effective relief and improving overall well-being.

Breast Health

Preventative care and early detection are vital with breast health including issues such as breast tenderness, fibrocystic breast and breast cancer. We provide guidance on regular and types of screenings and supplements that can support breast health. Treatment plans are personalized according to risk factor assessment and history.
