At NW Naturopathic Medicine, we take a whole-person approach to hormone care, combining careful symptom review, appropriate lab testing, nutrition, lifestyle support, botanical medicine, and bioidentical hormone therapy when clinically appropriate. Many women are told their labs are “normal” even when they are experiencing hot flashes, night sweats, poor sleep, irritability, anxiety, low libido, vaginal dryness, brain fog, or weight gain.

 

Our goal is not to treat a lab number. Our goal is to help you understand what is changing hormonally and create a treatment plan that is safe, individualized, and practical for your stage of life.

Our Approach

At NW Naturopathic Medicine, hormone care may include:

​

  • Review of menstrual, perimenopausal, or menopausal history

  • Evaluation of thyroid, adrenal, reproductive, and metabolic factors

  • Blood, saliva, or urine hormone testing when appropriate

  • Nutrition and lifestyle support

  • Botanical and nutrient support

  • Testosterone Therapy

  • Prescription bioidentical hormones when indicated

  • Follow-up monitoring and dose adjustment

  • Coordination with your primary care clinician or gynecologist when needed

  • Assessment of thyroid, adrenal, metabolic, and sex hormone function

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy is Used For?

This therapy may be considered for women experiencing:

  • Hot flashes or night sweats

  • Sleep disruption

  • Mood changes, anxiety, or irritability

  • Brain fog or low motivation

  • Low libido or painful intercourse

  • Vaginal dryness or urinary symptoms

  • Fatigue despite adequate rest

  • Weight gain or changes in body composition

  • Perimenopause or menopause symptoms

  • Concerns about bone, cardiovascular, or metabolic health

The Menopause Society states that hormone therapy remains the most effective treatment for vasomotor symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats and is also effective for genitourinary syndrome of menopause and prevention of bone loss in appropriate candidates.

Hormone therapy is not right for everyone. We review your personal and family history, risk factors, medications, labs, and health goals before recommending treatment. When hormone therapy is appropriate, we aim to use the lowest effective dose and monitor your response over time.

Testosterone Therapy for Men & Women?

NW Naturopathic Medicine focuses on restoring vitality, cognitive performance, energy, and muscle health in Tigard & Portland Metro Area

For Men

Testosterone plays an important role in energy, muscle maintenance, metabolism, mood, cognitive function, libido, and overall vitality. Testosterone levels may naturally decline with age or be affected by stress, chronic illness, poor sleep, metabolic dysfunction, or other health conditions.

Patients often explore Testosterone therapy for concerns related to hormone balance, including: 

  • Fatigue and low energy

  • Low libido

For Women

Hormonal changes associated with perimenopause, menopause, surgical menopause, or other conditions may contribute to declining testosterone levels.

Low Testosterone May Contribute to?
