Common symptoms of hormonal imbalances include:

Hot flashes
Night sweats
Memory loss
Depression

Urinary incontinence
Fibroids
Mood swings

Terry Fong’s Approach to Hormone Therapy

Dr. Terry Fong ND takes a personalized approach to hormone therapy. She believes that nourishing your hormonal health can improve these symptoms significantly and that understanding the main hormonal players and their balance is the first step on this journey.

Her approach starts with a comprehensive hormone assessment, including a detailed discussion about your symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history. Based on this information, she develops a customized treatment plan that uses natural strategies to balance your hormones and alleviate your symptoms. This may include dietary changes, herbal supplements, lifestyle modifications, and other natural therapies.

The naturopathic approach focuses on determining the underlying cause or source of the problem and addressing it at that level. By ensuring that basic systems in the body required for proper hormone function are working well, hormonal balance can often be achieved naturally. These systems include blood sugar regulation, adrenal health (HPA axis), gut health, and detoxification/liver function.

Dr. Fong provides treatments designed to correct hormonal imbalances, targeting the root cause of the problem rather than just treating the symptoms. This approach can help improve your overall health and well-being.
