Integrative Women’s Health

Women's integrative health focuses on a comprehensive approach to women's wellness, combining conventional medical treatments with alternative and complementary therapies. This holistic approach considers the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Key components often include:

  1. Hormonal Balance: Addressing issues related to the menstrual cycle, menopause, thyroid function, and other hormonal imbalances. Treatments may involve hormone replacement therapy, lifestyle changes, and natural supplements.

    • We provide comprehensive hormone testing using the DUTCH test. The DUTCH test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) is a diagnostic tool that measures hormone levels and their metabolites through urine samples. It provides insights into various hormones, including cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, helping to identify hormone imbalances and inform personalized treatment plans. This non-invasive test is often used in integrative healthcare to assess hormonal health and overall well-being.

  2. Endocrine Health: Managing conditions like PCOS, thyroid disorders, and adrenal fatigue by looking at the body's hormone-producing glands. This can include nutritional support, stress management techniques, and medications.

  3. Gut Health: Recognizing the gut-brain connection and its impact on overall health. This may involve dietary changes, probiotics, and addressing gut dysbiosis to improve mental and physical health.

    • We offer a comprehensive testing using the The GI-MAP (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) is a diagnostic tool used to assess gut health by analyzing the DNA of microorganisms in a stool sample. It provides a comprehensive overview of the gastrointestinal microbiota, pathogens, and other markers of gut health.

  4. Mental Health: Integrating psychological and emotional support through therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and stress reduction techniques. It often includes managing conditions like anxiety, depression, and PMDD.

  5. Nutritional Support: Emphasizing the role of nutrition in overall health, including specific dietary plans, nutritional counseling, and the use of supplements to address deficiencies.

  6. Physical Activity: Encouraging regular exercise tailored to individual needs and conditions to improve physical health and mental well-being.

  7. Alternative Therapies: Incorporating practices like acupuncture, chiropractic care, massage therapy, and herbal medicine to support overall health and address specific conditions.

  8. Preventive Care: Focusing on preventive measures, including regular screenings, lifestyle modifications, and education to maintain health and prevent disease.

By integrating these various aspects, women's integrative health aims to create a personalized and balanced approach to wellness, addressing the unique needs of each individual. At MIND FULL BALANCE, these principles are applied to provide comprehensive care that promotes resilience, healing, and lasting well-being for women and adults.
