Why is hormone balancing so important?

Hormones play a critical role in nearly every aspect of your health, from metabolism and energy levels to mood and reproductive function. These chemical messengers regulate vital processes like body temperature, digestion, sleep, and stress response, ensuring your body functions smoothly.

When hormones become imbalanced—whether due to chronic stress, environmental toxins, aging, nutrient deficiencies, or lifestyle factors—you may experience symptoms such as inflammation, weight changes, brain fog, fatigue, and reproductive health challenges. Women are especially impacted by hormonal fluctuations throughout life, from fertility and pregnancy to perimenopause and menopause.

Dr. Mahboubeh takes a holistic, root-cause approach to hormone balancing, addressing underlying factors that contribute to hormonal dysregulation. Her comprehensive care includes functional medicine, targeted lifestyle interventions, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to help restore balance and improve long-term well-being.

Do I need hormone balancing?

Signs of hormonal imbalance may include:

Perimenopause and menopause symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, heart palpitations, vaginal dryness)
Fertility challenges or irregular ovulation
Menstrual cycle issues, such as heavy, painful, or missing periods
Mood changes, including anxiety, depression, and mood swings
Chronic fatigue, low energy, or frequent napping
Brain fog, memory loss, or trouble concentrating
Insulin resistance and metabolic issues
Sexual dysfunction or difficulty orgasming
Muscle weakness or loss of muscle mass
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis

Whether you’re struggling with fertility concerns, perimenopause, or the effects of menopause, balancing your hormones can help you regain energy, vitality, and overall well-being.

How is hormone balancing managed?

At Dr. Mahboubeh: Body Aligned™, Dr. Mahboubeh begins with a thorough consultation to assess your symptoms, medical history, and hormone levels. If testing indicates that you would benefit from hormone balancing, she provides personalized treatment strategies that may include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), functional medicine, and lifestyle adjustments to optimize hormone health.

BHRT may be administered in the form of:

Patches
Injections
Creams

Unlike traditional hormone therapy, BHRT uses hormones identical to those naturally produced by your body, making it a safer and more effective option for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, or post-hormonal changes due to medical treatments or chronic health conditions.
