hormone TESTING
Stop letting your periods run your life!
,Ar,e you tired of fighting to get your doctor to test your hormones only to be told “everything is normal” when you don’t FEEL normal? Yeah, we get it.
At The Hormone Dietitian, we understand that you want to be as in control of your hormones as you are in all the other aspects of your life, and you don’t need cyclical symptoms dragging you down. In order to do that, you need to identify the root causes of your hormonal conditions such as PMS, PMDD, PCOS, infertility, endometriosis, fibroids, polyps, and more.
The problem is there IS no one right diet, “hormone balancing” supplement regimen, or TikTok hormone hack that’s going to work for all women struggling with hormone issues, and you don’t have the time to sort through all of the conflicting information yourself, which leaves you feeling overwhelmed and frustrated.
We believe you shouldn’t have to follow restrictive diets, eat weird foods, buy questionable supplements, or go on the pill to have symptom-free periods.
We understand that conventional medicine doesn’t always help, which is why we’ve helped hundreds of women balance their hormones with a more natural approach. We utilize at-home urine hormone testing, gut testing, and other lab work to help you identify and address the root causes of YOUR hormone imbalances.
*We are only available to work with women located in the U.S. Signed waivers required in NY, NJ.
