Women’s Health

If I had a quarter for every time a woman claimed irregular bleeding, heavy/painful periods, mood swings, breast tenderness, low energy, sleep issues, and/or acne as her norm…well you know the rest.

Here to tell you that you no longer have to accept this, and certainly don’t have to go on suffering during that time of month. Go ahead and let out that sigh of relief!

The symptoms above are a sign that your hormones are a little (or a lot) out of balance. This could be due to a medical condition such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, thyroid disorder, or simply due to general hormone balance.

Hormones are especially sensitive to lifestyle and can easily be thrown off by stress, lack of sleep, poor nutrition, acute illness, environmental toxin exposure, and hormonal birth control.

I work with women of all ages, and at all stages (puberty, reproductive age, peri/menopause) to optimize hormone balance. This often looks like -

  • Menstrual cycle education

  • Diet & lifestyle counseling

  • Prescription of natural therapies - herbs, supplements, homeopathy

  • Use of conventional medicine when necessary (i.e. thyroid replacement)

  • Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for peri/menopause

Hormones impact how you look, feel, & interact with the world, so let’s get to work!

 

What patients are saying.

I was struggling with heavy, painful periods, and very bad ovulation pain before I started seeing Dr. Chmelik. She truly listened to my concerns, methodically examined possible causes, and made treatment recommendations that have actually helped. I feel like I can live a normal life again even during that time of the month!
