Personalized Hormone Balance for Irregular Cycles, Weight Changes, Mood, Energy & Women’s Wellness
Schedule ConsultationHormones influence nearly every aspect of health in women – from menstrual cycles and mood to sleep, metabolism, weight, skin and hair, and fertility. Not getting proper treatment for hormonal imbalance can affect quality of life and make women feel unwell, frustrated and like their voices are not being heard. Even when symptoms are bad, women are sometimes told that the way they are feeling is normal.
Focuses on women’s perspectives on hormonal experiences. The book investigates what gets in the way of recognizing and managing hormonal imbalance, to help women clarify the nature of hormonal imbalance for themselves, search for helpful treatment, and live well and fully.
Individualized hormone optimization programs for women in Miami. Dr. Nina Gupta, MD, ABAARM, FAARM, can help treat perimenopause symptoms and PCOS hormone imbalance as well as related issues with irregular periods, weight gain, fatigue, acne, hair loss, decreased libido, mood swings and poor metabolism at OShotMiami.com.
We take a very detailed approach to taking care of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), working beyond symptoms to underlying imbalances. Our work with clients begins with taking a detailed medical history and learning about her lifestyle habits and menstrual cycle patterns, from which we determine appropriate lab tests and then monitor the body's levels of important hormones, its need for insulin, its functioning thyroid, and its response to stress. With this foundation we work with the woman to create a balanced approach to achieve her health goals.
Hormone optimization is a personalized medical approach that evaluates and supports hormone balance based on your symptoms, lab results, health history, and goals.
Rather than simply treating one symptom at a time, hormone optimization looks at how multiple systems work together, including:
For many women, symptoms are not caused by just one hormone. They may be related to a combination of hormone shifts, insulin resistance, stress, poor sleep, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, thyroid imbalance, or aging-related changes.
Hormone imbalance is not one-size-fits-all. Dr. Nina Gupta provides a physician-led approach to women’s hormone health, focusing on:
Many women with PCOS are surprised to discover that their symptoms mimic those of perimenopause. However, the underlying causes may be different.
Perimenopause is the prelude to menopause. It can begin several years before a woman’s last period. While estrogen and progesterone levels may be unsteady, women can start to notice changes in their cycle, mood, metabolic rate, sleep, and their overall sexual wellness.
During perimenopause, ovulation may become less consistent. When ovulation changes, progesterone levels may decline or fluctuate. Estrogen may also rise and fall unevenly, creating symptoms of estrogen dominance in some women and low estrogen symptoms in others.
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a very common medical condition which is related to hormones and metabolism that can affect women’s menstrual cycles and ovulation as well as cause acne, excess hair, weight problems, high insulin levels and fertility problems. PCOS is not equal from woman to woman.
Many women with PCOS have insulin resistance, meaning the body has trouble using insulin efficiently. When insulin levels are elevated, the ovaries may produce more androgens, such as testosterone. This can contribute to acne, unwanted hair growth, irregular cycles, and difficulty losing weight.
Some women can have both PCOS and perimenopause which can make treatment challenging depending on the individual case. An individualized diagnosis is key. Perimenopause is commonly associated with the aging process and hormone fluctuation. PCOS has been linked to a variety of features including insulin resistance, androgen excess, ovulation dysfunction, and an overall metabolic imbalance.
Hormone optimization is customized for each woman. Depending on your symptoms and lab results, your plan may include one or more of the following:
For women in perimenopause, hormone support may be considered when appropriate to address symptoms such as sleep disruption, hot flashes, mood changes, low libido, vaginal dryness, and cycle changes.
Some women in perimenopause experience symptoms related to low or fluctuating progesterone, such as PMS, anxiety, sleep problems, breast tenderness, or heavier periods.
For women with low estrogen symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and painful intimacy, estrogen support may be discussed depending on medical history and risk factors.
Low testosterone may contribute to low libido, fatigue, decreased motivation. Elevated testosterone may contribute to acne, unwanted hair growth, and irregular cycles, especially in PCOS.
For appropriate candidates, pellet therapy may be considered as part of a hormone optimization plan. Pellets are placed under the skin and release hormones gradually over time.
For PCOS, treatment may focus on insulin resistance, androgen balance, inflammation, nutrition, exercise, body composition, and cycle regulation.
A personalized plan may include nutrition guidance, sleep support, strength training recommendations, stress management, and targeted supplementation. Lifestyle matters, but women should not be told to "just diet and exercise."
Hormones play a major role in sexual wellness. Perimenopause and PCOS can both affect libido, arousal, sensitivity, confidence, and comfort with intimacy. For women experiencing low libido, vaginal dryness, reduced sensitivity, or painful intimacy, hormone optimization may be combined with treatments such as the O-Shot® or Labia Wing Lift when appropriate.
A thorough evaluation may include lab testing to better understand your hormone and metabolic health.
The purpose of testing is to identify patterns that may be contributing to symptoms and create a more targeted treatment plan.
