Kansas Expert in Hormone Health & Functional Medicine
Balancing Hormones Naturally Through Functional Medicine
Are you struggling with unexplained weight gain, brain fog, chronic fatigue, or mood swings? If so, your hormones could be out of balance—impacting everything from metabolism to mental clarity. Many people experience these symptoms daily without realizing they stem from hormonal dysfunction.
Millions across the U.S. suffer from undiagnosed hormone imbalances, often receiving only symptom-based treatments that fail to correct the root cause. Traditional medicine frequently relies on medications that can provide temporary relief but may further disrupt your endocrine system.
At EvoHealth Functional Medicine, we take a root-cause approach to hormone optimization, using advanced diagnostics, bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT), and precision functional medicine protocols to restore balance naturally. We understand that hormone health isn’t just about lab results—it’s about how you feel. That’s why our personalized treatment plans are designed to help you regain energy, improve metabolism, and optimize your long-term well-being.
Our Functional Medicine Approach to Hormone Optimization Includes:
✔️ Advanced hormone testing to uncover imbalances in testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, and cortisol
✔️ Evidence-based therapies, including precision nutraceuticals and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (coming soon)
✔️ Lifestyle medicine interventions for metabolic and endocrine health
✔️ Individualized care plans that address root causes, not just symptoms
If you’re in Kansas or Missouri and seeking a comprehensive, science-backed approach to hormone health, EvoHealth is here to help.
Understanding Your Unique Hormone Imbalance: A Functional Medicine Approach
Hormones are biochemical messengers that regulate essential bodily functions, including metabolism, cognitive function, reproductive health, and immune response. When even one hormone is out of balance—whether due to stress, poor metabolic function, or aging—it can lead to widespread dysfunction.
At EvoHealth Functional Medicine, we take a precision-based, root-cause approach to hormone health, recognizing that every patient’s needs are unique. Unlike conventional medicine, which often relies on symptom management, we focus on comprehensive hormone testing and personalized treatment protocols to restore optimal balance naturally.
Common Hormonal Imbalances & Their Impact
✅ Menopause & Perimenopause
- Declining estrogen and progesterone lead to hot flashes, night sweats, mood instability, vaginal dryness, insomnia, and bone loss.
- Functional medicine targets hormone optimization, adrenal support, and metabolic stability for long-term wellness.
✅ Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- Elevated androgens, insulin resistance, and irregular ovulation contribute to acne, weight gain, infertility, and metabolic dysfunction.
- We focus on hormone modulation, insulin sensitivity, and inflammation reduction through advanced metabolic therapies.
✅ Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) & PMDD
- Estrogen-progesterone imbalances cause mood swings, bloating, fatigue, and intense cravings before menstruation.
- A functional approach includes neurotransmitter support, cycle regulation, and targeted nutritional interventions.
✅ Low Testosterone (Men & Women)
- Symptoms include fatigue, low libido, muscle loss, depression, and cognitive decline due to declining testosterone levels.
- We utilize comprehensive lab testing, targeted nutraceutical support, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), and lifestyle optimization to restore testosterone balance.
✅ Hypothyroidism & Thyroid Dysfunction
- Low thyroid hormone levels lead to fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, cold intolerance, hair thinning, and sluggish metabolism.
- Functional medicine focuses on comprehensive thyroid testing (TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and antibodies), iodine and selenium optimization, gut health, and adrenal-thyroid balance.
Root Causes of Hormonal Imbalances
1. Insulin Resistance & Metabolic Dysfunction
Insulin is a key regulator of blood sugar and hormone balance, but insulin resistance—a condition where cells become less responsive to insulin—can disrupt sex hormone production, adrenal function, and thyroid health.
Evidence-Based Insight: Insulin resistance is a major driver of PCOS, weight gain, fatigue, and low testosterone. Research shows that insulin-resistant individuals often exhibit elevated androgens (testosterone, DHEA), increased cortisol, and disrupted estrogen metabolism.
✅ Functional Medicine Approach:
- Precision fasting insulin, glucose, and HOMA IR testing
- Nutritional protocols to restore insulin sensitivity through a whole-food, anti-inflammatory diet
- Targeted nutraceuticals (berberine, magnesium, inositol) to optimize glucose metabolism
2. Chronic Stress & Hypercortisolemia
Long-term activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis leads to excessive cortisol production, which disrupts estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid function.
Clinical Findings: Chronic stress is linked to:
- Estrogen dominance (heavy periods, weight gain, mood swings)
- Low progesterone (anxiety, sleep disturbances, infertility)
- Suppressed testosterone (low libido, muscle loss, fatigue)
✅ Functional Medicine Approach:
- Salivary/adrenal cortisol testing to assess HPA dysfunction
- Adaptogenic botanicals (ashwagandha, rhodiola, phosphatidylserine) for cortisol modulation
- Mind-body interventions (HRV training, breathwork, targeted sleep optimization)
3. Nutritional Deficiencies & Hormone Disruption
Deficiencies in key micronutrients impair hormone synthesis, signaling, and metabolism.
Research-Backed Associations:
- Magnesium & Zinc Deficiency: Linked to low testosterone, PMS, and insulin resistance
- B Vitamins (B6, B12, Folate): Essential for thyroid function, estrogen detoxification and methylation pathways
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Regulate inflammation, insulin function, and hormone balance
✅ Functional Medicine Approach:
- Comprehensive nutrient testing to identify deficiencies
- Personalized supplementation to restore optimal levels
- Dietary interventions focused on hormone-supporting nutrients
4. Gut Dysbiosis & Impaired Hormone Detoxification
The gut microbiome plays a direct role in estrogen metabolism and endocrine function. Dysbiosis (imbalanced gut bacteria) or leaky gut can impair the breakdown and elimination of excess estrogen, leading to estrogen dominance.
Key Evidence:
- The estrobolome, a collection of gut bacteria, influences how estrogen is metabolized and excreted
- Dysbiosis and inflammation can contribute to hormonal acne, PCOS, and autoimmune thyroid disease
✅ Functional Medicine Approach:
- GI-MAP testing to assess microbiome imbalances
- Prebiotic & probiotic therapy to restore gut health
- Liver detoxification support (sulforaphane, calcium-D-glucarate) for optimal hormone clearance
5. Environmental Endocrine Disruptors
Hormone-mimicking chemicals, known as endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), interfere with natural hormone signaling. These include BPA (plastics), phthalates (personal care products), pesticides, and heavy metals.
Clinical Relevance:
- BPA exposure is linked to insulin resistance, estrogen dominance, and thyroid dysfunction
- Phthalates have been shown to lower testosterone levels and impair fertility
✅ Functional Medicine Approach:
- Environmental toxin assessment via functional lab testing
- Detoxification support with glutathione, sauna therapy, and targeted chelation protocols
- Personalized lifestyle modifications to reduce toxic burden
