Hormonal Imbalance Treatment in Greenville, SC

Hormonal Imbalance Treatment at IHP Greenville. Dr. Hendry, DAOM — functional medicine, root-cause diagnostics, personalized care. Call (864) 365-6156.

Hormonal imbalance is one of the most prevalent and under-investigated health issues affecting adults of all ages. Symptoms of hormonal dysregulation — fatigue, weight changes, mood disorders, sleep disruption, skin changes, libido changes, and menstrual irregularities — are frequently dismissed in conventional care as "normal aging" or treated with pharmaceutical interventions that address the hormone level without addressing why the imbalance occurred. At Integrative Health Partners, Dr. Hendry investigates and treats hormonal imbalance at its root.

How Hormonal Imbalance Treatment Works

Hormonal imbalance treatment combines comprehensive functional hormone testing, acupuncture (for HPG axis regulation, HPA axis normalization, and constitutional support), Chinese herbal medicine (classical formulas that regulate hormonal patterns have been used effectively for thousands of years), dietary and lifestyle guidance, and targeted supplementation based on lab findings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Thyroid dysfunction (both hypo and hyper), estrogen dominance (relative excess of estrogen to progesterone), adrenal dysregulation (elevated or depleted cortisol), insulin resistance, and DHEA depletion are the most commonly identified imbalances at IHP.
Yes — thyroid dysfunction (reduces metabolic rate), cortisol excess (promotes visceral fat deposition), insulin resistance (reduces fat mobilization and promotes fat storage), and estrogen dominance (promotes water retention and fat storage) all contribute to weight gain that cannot be resolved through diet and exercise alone.
Chinese medicine treats hormonal imbalance through pattern differentiation — identifying Kidney Yin or Yang Deficiency, Liver Qi Stagnation, Spleen Qi Deficiency, or other patterns that correspond to the endocrine disruption. Classical herbal formulas and acupuncture for these patterns produce measurable hormonal normalization.
Hormonal correction is typically a 3–6 month process. Lab retesting at 3 months confirms objective improvement and guides protocol adjustment.
Not necessarily — many hormonal imbalances can be corrected through functional medicine support (nutrients, dietary changes, herbal medicine) without exogenous hormones. When hormones are appropriate, Dr. Hendry refers to physicians specializing in bioidentical hormone replacement.
