Hormone Imbalance
Are you looking for information about hormone imbalance? Do you need advice on hormone treatment or hormone therapy?
I’m a Naturopath who loves to talk about hormones – and the scary thing is, in the modern world, hormone imbalance is becoming very common.
What has revolutionized my ability to help my patients balance their hormones is using the right hormone testing methods. Sometimes you want to test blood for hormone and other times you want to test saliva to get the right answers. My team of Naturopaths at Vibe Natural Health in Brisbane specialise in hormone health. We’d love to help you understand why you feel so out of balance.

Our knowledge and research into human hormones is a relatively young science and we’re still discovering new uses for their role in our body. There are a myriad of factors which influence hormone imbalance and as a Naturopath one of my aims is to help my clients with natural hormone treatment to improve their health and wellbeing.
Some of the causes of hormone imbalance:
- Stress
- Insomnia
- Poor diet – excessive alcohol, sugar, caffeine and smoking
- Lack of exercise
- Medication – contraceptive pill, antibiotics, hormone replacement
- Environmental chemicals – pesticides on food, cleaning chemicals, polluted air. Plastics – cling wrap, plastic bottles.
- Cosmetics – containing petrol chemicals and xenooestrogens
- Nutrient deficiencies from poor diet or nutrient deficient soil
- Heavy Metal Toxicity – mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, aluminium etc blocking hormone and nutrient receptor sites.
- Irritable bowel, constipation, poor digestion
- Poly Cystic Ovaries
- Thyroid and Adrenal Problems
Hormone Testing is the Key
Our Naturopaths will give you a full health and hormone assessment and some of our solutions to help you feel better than ever may include assisting your liver to improve its detoxification, getting your bowel working well – if you don’t poo every day, your hormones can be recycled through the gut wall, help you reduce stress, give you dietary advice for healthy hormone foods and help you with solutions for stress.
