Hormone imbalances can have a profound impact on our overall health and well-being. Hormones are signallers in the body, telling different parts when and how to function. If these signallers aren’t balanced, then our bodies either respond too much or too little to stimuli.
Hormone imbalances can lead to a variety of symptoms and conditions, including thyroid issues and diabetes. Thankfully, True Life Medicine offers a comprehensive approach to addressing hormone and thyroid imbalances, focusing on the underlying causes and providing personalized treatments to help you achieve the results you’re looking for.

Hormone imbalances can stem from various factors that range from lifestyle factors to autoimmune conditions. For example, hormones don’t produce as they should when you neglect regular exercise and proper sleep. Excessive alcohol consumption and high caffeine intake can also throw hormonal equilibrium off balance and strain the body’s regulatory mechanisms. Furthermore, exposure to environmental toxins, including pollutants and endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in everyday products, can interfere with hormone production and regulation.
When you work with True Life Medicine, we will want to address these factors to promote hormone balance and support overall well-being.
Thyroid issues are among the most common hormonal disorders affecting millions of people worldwide. The thyroid gland, located in the neck, plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, energy production, and growth.
When your thyroid isn’t working properly, you’ll see your weight, energy levels, and mood fluctuate.
Two common thyroid disorders are hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormones, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, and cold intolerance.
Hyperthyroidism, on the other hand, is characterized by an overactive thyroid gland, resulting in symptoms such as weight loss, rapid heartbeat, and irritability.
