Female hormone conditions that we can help treat
All of our naturopathic practitioners have advanced training and a particular interest in treating women’s health. This includes menopausal symptoms, issues with the menstrual cycle, abnormal hormonal levels and specific issues like polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis, fibroids and fertility issues.
Symptoms of female hormone imbalance
When you are in optimal health you should not really notice your menstrual cycle beyond the bleeding you experience each month. When hormones go out of balance you have an increased risk of developing symptoms associated with your cycle.
Symptoms that can indicate hormonal imbalance include:
- Weight gain
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- PMS and PMDD symptoms
- Mood changes associated with cycle times – ie with your period, ovulation or before the bleed
- Menopause symptoms – hot flushes, skin changes, joint pain, mood changes, cycle changes. Sometimes this could be akin to a ‘second puberty’ – hormones and cycles going haywire.
- Headaches or migraines around cycle changes
- Fatigue and brain fog
Our treatment approach to Female hormone imbalances
The first step to a successful treatment is always getting the right testing. Technically menopause occurs in most women between the ages of 45-55 years old, but you can experience symptoms far before this. We need to determine if you are entering menopause earlier or have imbalanced hormone levels. This is important because it could change your treatment plan to working on regulating a cycle to a pathway where you use menopausal hormone therapy. To determine this we can test your oestrogen, progesterone, LH and FSH and specific times in the cycle.
Because hormones are impacted by stress, sleep, gut function and the rest of the endocrine system we want to look at the landscape of your entire health – not just hormones in isolation. We can also safely treat you if you are taking medications such as hormone replacement therapy or thyroid medication.
We also want to consider your future health and reduce risk factors that impact women like dementia and Alzheimers, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer and generally improve quality of life.
What to expect from your female hormone treatment plan
Once we have all of the data we need we can develop a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses the root causes of your hormonal issues. This can include specific herbal medicines, nutritional supplements, life changes lie installing regular exercise and healthy lifestyle habits and potentially other modalities to support your main treatment.

Female hormone treatment FAQs.
What are the common symptoms of female hormone imbalances?
The most common symptoms of female hormone balance issues are anxiety, depression, insomnia, menstrual cycle changes (lighter, heavier, longer, shorter, more painful), weight changes, skin changes, joint pain, headaches, hot flushes and brain fog.
Can I claim for my female hormone treatment with my health fund?
Naturopathic care will shortly be available to claim with health funds, but right now you cannot. Because we are not on medicare like general practitioners (GPs) you cannot claim with medicare either.
Will I be prescribed any herbal medicine to help treat my female hormone condition?
Depending on your test results you will likely be prescribed specific herbal medicines to address what comes up. We can pair this with changes that you make in your diet, lifestyle and routines for maximum effect.
If you are taking hormone replacement therapy then we will ensure that there are no contraindications (reactions) with your medication.
