Steve Jobs is one of the millions of people who are suffering ill-health and unexplained symptoms such as weight loss related to hormone imbalance. Hormones are very powerful substances that affect every cell in our body by turning it on, up, down, or off, causing cells to reproduce, grow, mature, function and/or die.
Because hormones affect every cell, there are multitudes of symptoms that can be expressed when hormonal imbalance takes place. Everything from mood issues to weight issues to thyroid issues to blood sugar issues or cardiovascular issues. The list of hormone imbalance symptoms goes on and on. That’s why it is so important to know if your hormones are balanced. Blood tests indicate only the inactive, protein bound hormone, while saliva tests indicate the active, unbound, ready-to-make-something-happen form of the hormone, which is by far much more diagnostically significant.
I hope Mr. Jobs finds himself a Restorative Endocrinologist to help him in balancing his hormones.

Female hormone balance has become more than our passion, it's our mission! Having listened to the experiences of so many women who have struggled with hormone imbalance symptoms, we realize and appreciate the need for women to find balance in their lives.
Testing is crucial to determine the actual hormone levels of each individual woman. We do saliva testing for actual hormone levels, including pituitary hormones along with hair analysis for mineral levels to determine cellular function of the adrenal glands, thyroid gland, blood sugar handling, digestion, and many other health issues. These tests are easy to do from the convenience of your own home.
We live in a fiercely driven, self-regulating, self-regenerating body. Our body is designed to be well. Wellness is our natural state – disease is the anomaly. By addressing the entire endocrine system, we are able to regain normal body balance for a long-term correction. This balance is acheived through the use of whole food supplements, herbs, and bioidentical hormones. Every nutritional protocol is designed specifically for each woman according to her needs. We do not use pre-formulated supplements to give generically to all women based on symptoms. Every woman’s needs are unique. Let’s work together to bring your life back to health!
