What Are Hormones & Why Are They Important?
Hormones are powerful chemical messengers that regulate nearly every function in your body. Produced by the endocrine system, these messengers travel through the bloodstream, influencing how cells and organs operate.
They control and impact:
- Metabolism & Energy Levels – Regulating how your body processes food and converts it into energy.
- Mood, Stress & Emotional Balance – Influencing brain function, mental clarity, and stress response.
- Reproductive Health & Sexual Function – Regulating menstrual cycles, libido, and fertility.
- Sleep & Circadian Rhythms – Helping regulate melatonin and cortisol for restorative sleep.
- Digestive Health & Nutrient Absorption – Controlling appetite, gut function, and weight regulation.
When hormones are imbalanced, even simple daily tasks can feel overwhelming. Understanding and addressing these imbalances is key to restoring vitality and improving your quality of life.
Signs & Symptoms of Hormones Imbalance
Since hormones impact nearly every function in the body, an imbalance can manifest in a variety of physical, emotional, and mental symptoms.
Physical Symptoms
✔ Persistent fatigue, feeling exhausted even after rest
✔ Unexplained weight gain or inability to lose weight
✔ Hot flashes and night sweats
✔ Skin issues like acne, excessive dryness, or oiliness
✔ Hair thinning, excessive shedding, or hair loss
Emotional & Cognitive Symptoms
✔ Mood swings, irritability, or increased anxiety
✔ Depression or feelings of low motivation
✔ Difficulty concentrating, brain fog, or forgetfulness
✔ Feeling overwhelmed or emotionally imbalanced
Reproductive & Sexual Health Symptoms
✔ Irregular menstrual cycles or painful periods
✔ Low libido, vaginal dryness, or sexual dysfunction
✔ Fertility challenges or difficulty conceiving
✔ Symptoms of menopause or andropause (male hormone decline)
Hormone imbalances do not resolve on their own. Addressing these symptoms early can help prevent more serious health issues in the future.
What Causes Hormones Imbalance?
There are multiple factors that can contribute to hormonal imbalances, including:
✅ Chronic Stress – Long-term stress increases cortisol, which can lead to adrenal fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, and weight gain.
✅ Poor Diet & Nutrient Deficiencies – Consuming too much sugar, processed food, or lacking key nutrients affects hormone production.
✅ Aging & Menopause/Andropause – Natural aging leads to shifts in estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid function.
✅ Thyroid Dysfunction – Hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism can cause significant metabolic and energy fluctuations.
✅ Environmental Toxins & Endocrine Disruptors – Chemicals in food, plastics, and personal care products can interfere with hormone balance.
✅ Sleep Deprivation – Poor sleep quality can negatively impact melatonin, cortisol, and reproductive hormones.
✅ Gut Health & Inflammation – An unhealthy gut microbiome can affect estrogen metabolism and overall hormone regulation.
Identifying the root cause of your hormone imbalance is the first step toward achieving long-lasting health improvements.
Our Holistic Approach to Hormones Balance
At Ascends Natural Medicine, we believe in a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to hormone health. Rather than simply addressing symptoms, we focus on identifying and treating the root cause of hormonal imbalances. Our holistic method integrates advanced diagnostic testing, natural therapies, and lifestyle modifications to restore balance and optimize your well-being.
Comprehensive Hormone Testing
Hormonal imbalances often develop gradually and can be difficult to diagnose without proper testing. We use comprehensive lab assessments to evaluate key hormone levels, including:
✅ Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone – Essential for reproductive health, metabolism, and energy.
✅ Thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4, and antibodies) – Regulate metabolism, weight, and energy.
✅ Cortisol and adrenal function markers – Assessing your body’s response to stress.
✅ Insulin and blood sugar markers – Key for metabolic health and weight regulation.
✅ DHEA and melatonin – Supporting energy, aging, and sleep cycles.
By pinpointing hormonal deficiencies, imbalances, or excesses, we create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
For patients experiencing significant hormonal imbalances, we may recommend Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), a safe and natural alternative to synthetic hormones.
✅Derived from plant sources and biologically identical to the hormones your body naturally produces.
✅Customized dosages based on your lab results for precise, effective treatment.
✅Supports menopause, andropause (male hormone decline), thyroid disorders, and adrenal dysfunction.
✅Helps restore energy, balance mood, improve metabolism, and enhance overall vitality.
We closely monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments to ensure long-term success and well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hormones Imbalance
Hormonal imbalances can significantly impact your daily life, causing symptoms like fatigue, weight fluctuations, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. Below are some frequently asked questions to help you better understand hormone health and available treatment options.
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) involves using plant-based hormones that are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by your body. BHRT is a natural and effective way to restore hormonal balance, helping to alleviate symptoms associated with menopause, perimenopause, thyroid disorders, and more. These hormones are typically delivered in the form of creams, gels, pellets, or oral medications.
If you're experiencing symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, or brain fog, it could be a sign of a hormonal imbalance. The best way to know if hormone therapy is right for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Lakshmi Nandyala. We will conduct a thorough evaluation, including blood tests, to assess your hormone levels and determine the most effective treatment plan for your needs.
BHRT can help alleviate a wide range of symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances, including:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Fatigue and low energy
- Mood swings, anxiety, and depression
- Sleep disturbances
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Decreased libido
- Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
- Skin changes and hair thinning
Results vary depending on the individual, but many patients start to feel improvements within a few weeks to a couple of months after beginning BHRT. These improvements may include increased energy, better mood, improved sleep, and relief from symptoms like hot flashes. It’s important to work with Dr. Nandyala to regularly monitor your hormone levels and adjust treatment as necessary to achieve the best results.
Hormone treatment can provide a range of benefits, depending on your specific symptoms and needs. Some of the most common benefits include:
- Restored energy levels
- Improved mood and emotional well-being
- Better sleep quality
- Enhanced libido and sexual function
- Support for weight management
- Reduction in hot flashes, night sweats, and other menopause-related symptoms
- Improved skin health and hair vitality
Yes, lifestyle changes play an important role in supporting hormonal health. Nutrition, exercise, stress management, and sleep hygiene are all crucial factors in maintaining balanced hormones. Dr. Nandyala will provide you with personalized guidance on diet and lifestyle modifications that complement your hormone treatment and enhance overall well-being. Eating a balanced diet, managing stress effectively, and staying physically active can all improve your response to treatment.
Hormone imbalances are typically diagnosed through a combination of reviewing your symptoms, medical history, and specialized lab testing. Common tests may include thyroid hormone panels (TSH, T3, T4), reproductive hormone testing (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone), adrenal function assessments (cortisol levels), and blood sugar regulation tests. Based on the results of these tests, Dr. Nandyala will create a personalized treatment plan to restore balance and improve your health.
The duration of hormone treatment depends on the nature of the hormonal imbalance and your individual response to therapy. Some patients may only require treatment for a few months, while others may need long-term therapy to maintain balanced hormone levels. Dr. Nandyala will monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments to your treatment plan to ensure you achieve optimal health.
Not necessarily. The goal of hormone treatment is to restore balance, and many patients can maintain improved hormonal health with fewer interventions over time. In some cases, lifestyle changes and other complementary therapies may help you maintain balanced hormones without ongoing treatment. Regular check-ups with Dr. Nandyala will allow us to adjust your treatment plan as needed to suit your evolving health needs.
Yes, BHRT is considered safe when administered under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider, like Dr. Lakshmi Nandyala. Because the hormones used in BHRT are structurally identical to the ones your body produces naturally, they are well-tolerated by most individuals. However, as with any medical treatment, it’s important to undergo a thorough evaluation and have your progress regularly monitored to ensure safety and effectiveness.
