Who may benefit?

Our 5-week program, based on the process outlined in the #1 seller The Hormone Diet and The New York Times bestselling book, The Supercharged Hormone Diet, could be of assistance to you if you are currently experiencing:

• sleep issues
• stress
• fatigue
• bloating
• digestive issues (irritable bowel, constipation, abdominal tenderness, heartburn, etc.)
• allergies
• headaches
• mood concerns
• joint pain or any inflammatory condition
• acne, eczema or other skin conditions

How does it work?

We begin the process of working to improve your health and hormonal balance by focusing on taking steps to address the five most common hormonal imbalances:

• Excess insulin
• Excess cortisol
• Excess harmful estrogen
• Chronic inflammation (not a hormone but can impact how well our hormones work)
• Low/sluggish thyroid activity (hypothyroidism)

Why these five imbalances?

Chronic inflammation has to been linked digestive disorders, allergies, autoimmune disease, arthritis, asthma, eczema, acne, abdominal fat, headaches, depression, sinus disorders and more. Toxic estrogen either from the environment or internally produced by our body has been linked to an increased risk of certain types of cancers and obesity in both men and women. Insulin plays an essential role in healthy body function, however, an excess of it can increase the risk of gaining body fat, increased hunger and experiencing cravings. Too much insulin not only tends to encourage your body to store unused glucose as fat, but it can also block the use of stored fat as an energy source. For these reasons, an abnormally high insulin level makes losing fat, especially around the abdomen, very challenging, let alone can increases the risk of diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis, stroke and fatty liver disease. Just as destructive as an excess of insulin can be, an imbalance of cortisol can become extremely harmful to your metabolism, body composition and wellness. It disrupts sleep (typically with trouble falling asleep or waking between 2 to 4 am), suppresses the thyroid and has been found to contribute to belly fat, even in those that are otherwise thin.  Lastly, an imbalance of any one of these can impact thyroid hormone activity – the master of your metabolic rate.

What you can expect to experience:

• Week 1: Initial appointment with a Board-Certified Naturopathic Doctor that includes:
  • Complete case history and case assessment
  • Physical exam (body composition testing by medical grade bio-impedance machine or explanation on our required methods of home assessment)
• Week 2: Meeting with ND to implement The Hormone Diet Detox and/or additional specific dietary guidelines that were determined.
• Week 3: Follow-up with your ND to assess current status, address questions and ensure progress week-over-week. Discuss blood work results (should you have opted to add this to your program at an additional cost, however, highly recommended)
• Week 4: Meeting with ND  to explain the steps in coming off the detox and the identification of food allergies/sensitivities. You will also receive instructions on how to eat following your detox program, which is your maintenance diet outlined with plans, tons of tasty recipes, and shopping guidelines, in The Hormone Boost.
• Week 5: Follow up with ND including:
  • Case re-evaluation and follow-up
  • Repeat of initial physical exam markers 

Following your 5-week program, we often recommend returning to your ND for follow-up around every three to four months. Your needs can change seasonally and be impacted by stress, changes in sleep patterns or dietary habits, an increase or loss of body fat or muscle, illness and more.
