Our hormone system (medically known as our endocrine system) is complex. Our endocrine system consists of 6 different organs (our pituitary gland, pineal gland, thyroid, pancreas, ovaries/testis, and adrenal glands) and each of these glands is responsible for producing certain hormones (i.e. the ovary producing estrogen and progesterone, the adrenal glands producing cortisol). What makes our hormones complex is not just the individual organs and the hormones they produce, but how these systems affect each other and result in certain hormonal conditions.

  • Menstrual Irregularities, Heavy Periods, Cramps, PMS, Anxiety, Depression, Mood Swings, Hair Loss, Acne 
  • Conditions such as PCOS, Endometriosis, Fibroids, Infertility
