What is a hormonal imbalance?

A hormonal imbalance occurs when your body's hormone levels are either too high or too low. Hormones are essential chemical messengers that regulate various functions in your body, including metabolism, mood, and reproductive health. When these hormone levels are out of balance, you may experience uncomfortable symptoms that can impact your daily life. 

Why does a hormonal imbalance happen?

Hormonal imbalances can happen to anyone, but common culprits that may cause one include:

  • Stress
  • Weight gain or loss
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
  • Thyroid disorders
  • Poor diet
  • Menopause
  • Birth control
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Environmental toxins
  • Hormonal medications
  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Chronic illnesses 
  • Excessive exercise
  • Nutritional deficiencies 
  • Gut health issues 

Mehrshid Tohid Acupuncture offers several diagnostic tools to help uncover the cause of a hormonal imbalance. Mehrshid may recommend a complete hormone panel, physical exam, and medical history review through your primary care provider.

In addition, the practice has a Quantum Magnetic Resonance Analyzer (QMRA), a cutting-edge diagnostic tool that provides a comprehensive assessment of your cellular health. This noninvasive device analyzes various biomarkers and offers insights into your body's energetic balance, helping to identify underlying issues contributing to hormonal imbalances.

How can I tell if I have a hormonal imbalance?

The signs of a hormonal imbalance may be subtle, but typically include:

  • Irregular periods
  • Unexplained weight gain or loss
  • Fatigue
  • Mood swings or irritability
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Hot flashes or night sweats
  • Appetite changes
  • Acne or dry skin
  • Hair loss or excessive hair growth
  • Low libido
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Breast tenderness
  • Digestive issues
  • Increased sensitivity to cold or heat

Without treatment, your symptoms may worsen over time. A thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan at Mehrshid Tohid Acupuncture is the first step toward correcting your imbalance.

How can acupuncture help a hormonal imbalance?

Acupuncture can be an effective way to help manage a hormonal imbalance by promoting balance within your body. This technique uses thin, sterile needles inserted into specific points to influence various organs and systems, facilitating the natural flow of energy.

When you receive acupuncture, your body responds by releasing natural hormones and neurotransmitters, helping regulate hormonal levels. 

Acupuncture is a safe, medication-free treatment that can help restore balance to your hormones. Call Mehrshid Tohid Acupuncture today or schedule an appointment online to take back control of your hormone function.
