PCOS involves disrupted hormonal and nervous system signaling rather than a single imbalance. This article explains how acupuncture may support ovulation, cycle regulation, insulin sensitivity, and stress physiology as part of integrative PCOS care.
Read MoreEstrogen dominance is a functional hormone imbalance that can occur even when lab results appear “normal.” It reflects a loss of balance between estrogen, progesterone, and the body’s ability to metabolize and eliminate estrogen effectively. When this regulation breaks down, symptoms such as heavy periods, PMS, anxiety, sleep disruption, and weight changes often intensify rather than resolve on their own.
Read MoreEndometriosis is more than a gynecologic diagnosis. This article explores how immune dysregulation, inflammation, and tissue-level hormone signaling contribute to endometriosis—and why addressing root drivers matters for lasting improvement.
Read MoreAdult acne is often a sign of deeper imbalance rather than a surface skin problem. This article explores the root causes of persistent adult acne—including hormones, gut health, inflammation, stress physiology, and detoxification—and explains how a functional, integrative medicine approach supports long-term skin healing beyond symptom suppression.
