A Natural Approach to Hormone Balancing
Replacing “low hormone levels” with hormone replacements, or HRT is an oversimplified approach to the body’s imbalance that may come with unwanted side effects or hidden risks. More importantly, it does not address the underlying issues causing the imbalance.
Lifestyle factors such as sleep, nutrition, physical activity, digestion, outdoor exposure, stress management, and detoxification can have a substantial impact on hormone health and endocrine function. When optimization of lifestyle medicine is combined with natural modalities such as herbal therapies, and complex homeopathy, results can be profound.
Allowing the body to restore balance naturally with these simple first steps is frequently overlooked prior to using hormone replacement therapy (HRT). This means your symptoms may only be masked or may continue to persist despite hormone replacement therapy. Especially if your symptoms are due to something other than just your hormones.
Although, HRT may be necessary at times, it will not work optimally without addressing the underlying cause(s) of your imbalance or addresses suboptimal lifestyle conditions. Dr. Krail-Javier, DNP takes a natural and holistic approach to hormone balancing but does not exclude the potential need for HRT. She always tests prior to treatment with the DUTCH Test – Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones, the most advanced form of functional hormone testing used in integrative medicine.

Hormone Imbalance
The organs of the endocrine system and the hormones they secrete work together as a whole and require a delicate balance between them to function optimally. Hormone imbalance, even during the big life changes, are often a sign of greater or deeper health issues that need to be explored and addressed before true balance can be restored.
On The Path to better health and wellness, the many systems involved in causing your imbalance and subsequent symptoms are thoroughly assessed to inform your personalized treatment plan that may or may not involve the use of hormones. There are many options for restoring balance to the body which are usually recommended before and / or alongside HRT to ensure the best results.
It is always best to test prior to treatment using the most comprehensive testing methods available. The DUTCH Test not only provides an assessment of sex hormone levels but also, how they are being used by the body through presence of their metabolites. The DUTCH Test also provides breast cancer risk markers, a full adrenal profile, 8 organic acids and more.
The DUTCH Test is ideally used along with your basic blood chemistry and serum hormone levels to determine the best and most targeted path forward. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapies are available if needed.
