Women's Hormone Health

Hormonal balance shapes nearly every dimension of women's health — cycles, fertility, weight, mood, sleep, bone strength, and long-term cardiovascular risk. We focus on the hormonal disorders that primary care often catches but doesn't have time to fully manage.

When to see an endocrinologist

Many women see us after years of being told their numbers are 'normal' but their symptoms are very much not. If any of these patterns are familiar, a hormone-focused visit is worth booking:

  • Irregular or missed periods
  • Difficulty losing weight despite effort
  • Persistent fatigue, hair thinning, or temperature dysregulation
  • Hirsutism (unwanted hair growth) or acne in adulthood
  • Hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog (peri/menopause)
  • Difficulty getting pregnant
  • Low bone density before age 65

Conditions we focus on

  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)Insulin resistance, irregular cycles, hyperandrogenism — managed with metformin, GLP-1s, oral contraceptives, anti-androgens.
  • Perimenopause & menopauseHRT, non-hormonal alternatives, and individualized risk assessment.
  • Thyroid disease in womenPostpartum, pregnancy, and autoimmune patterns.
  • Premature ovarian insufficiency
  • Hyperprolactinemia & pituitary disorders
