SEX HORMONE IMBALANCES
(Menopause/Perimenopause, Andropause, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome(PCOS), PMS)

Hormonal imbalances can present at any point in our lifespan, but are most common at either end of our reproductive years. Unhealthy lifestyle factors have a big impact on hormonal health, more often accelerating and augmenting symptom presentation. Hormonal optimization, in both men and women, is possibly the single biggest contributor to our vitality.

Dr.’s Franiek and Shintani have more than 30 years of combined experience in treating patients with hormonal dysfunctions. They have observed the trend that these imbalances are presenting with more significant symptoms and commencing at an earlier age. Additionally, as a result of advances in medical treatments, we are now living, on average, a third of our lives without the support of youthful hormone levels. In addition to having a significant impact in our quality of life, studies have shown that the long term sequelae of chronic hormonal deficiencies may include a predisposition toward osteoporosis, cognitive decline and heart disease.

Each person differs in the way they absorb and metabolize their hormones, and a unique interplay exists between the sex hormones and the adrenal and thyroid hormones. The physicians at Healix Health employ the most comprehensive 24 hour hormone testing method to interpret your unique pattern and thereby ensure your optimal hormonal dosing and safety.
