Hormone Testing at Physiologic NYC
Hormone Balancing is important for regulating most major bodily processes. Hormones are messengers that relay information to and from different organ systems. Every hormone has a different task in allowing the body to maintain healthy function.
Hormone Balancing encompasses the following:
- Chronic stress
- Sleeplessness
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Unexplained weight gain
- Low sex drive
- Breast tenderness
- Trouble concentrating
- Lack of energy
- Mood swings
- Fatigue
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Bloating
- Headaches
- Thinning hair
Hormonal imbalance treatment
When hormonal imbalances occur, there is too much or not enough of a hormone in the bloodstream. Since hormones play an essential role in the body, even small hormonal imbalances can cause side effects felt through the entire body.
Cortisol is our stress hormone produced by the adrenal glands to help control blood sugar, regulate metabolism, influence memory formation, and reduce inflammation. The timing of cortisol release is linked to daily activity patterns. Many Americans suffer from cortisol imbalances due to high stress levels and chronic blue light exposure, which may ultimately lead to disrupted sleep patterns and weight gain.
Excess or insufficient sex hormones, such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone can lead to a variety of symptoms ranging from fatigue and adult acne, to low libido, hair loss, and mood swings.

Evidence-Based Techniques
Sulforaphane, a potent antioxidant found in cruciferous vegetables, has been shown to help with phase 2 detoxification in the liver and gut. This phase of detoxification is helpful in regulating estrogen so that unsafe forms or amounts of the hormone don’t burden the body. In this way, sulforaphane has been used to reduce the risk of estrogen dominance, as well as to decrease the risk of estrogen dominate cancers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hormone Balancing
1. How does sulforaphane support hormone balance?
Sulforaphane, a compound found in cruciferous vegetables, enhances phase 2 liver detoxification, helping the body safely eliminate excess estrogen. This supports healthier hormone balance and may reduce the risk of estrogen dominance and estrogen-related cancers.
2. What lab tests do you recommend for hormone imbalances?
We offer saliva and blood hormone panels, comprehensive metabolic panels, thyroid tests, cortisol, insulin, and nutrient markers to understand your unique hormonal profile.
3. How long until I notice improvements?
Many clients experience increased energy and reduced mood swings within 4–6 weeks. Full hormone balance can take 3–6 months depending on the root causes.
4. Can nutrition alone balance hormones?
Nutritional protocols are the cornerstone, and when combined with lifestyle, sleep, stress management, and targeted supplements, they can provide profound results without hormone medication.
5. Do you support hormonal issues in men?
Yes. Our clinic supports men experiencing low testosterone, adrenal fatigue, metabolic issues, and fertility concerns through integrative protocols tailored to male physiology.
