• Whether you’re experiencing irregular cycles, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), hormone-related sleep disturbances, heavy periods, low libido, perimenopause, menopause, or other hormone-related challenges, we’re here to help uncover the root cause. Our goal is to provide personalized solutions that address your unique symptoms and promote long-term hormonal balance and overall wellness.

  • Navigating perimenopause can be challenging, but there are various options available to help manage symptoms and ease the transition. Lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and hormone therapy are just a few avenues to explore. Let’s tailor a plan that suits your individual needs.

  • Let’s talk about optimal levels of hormones, the safest and best forms of hormones, and the routes of administration.

    At Seaside Med, we do not believe in using pellets or synthetic hormones for hormone replacement. We use body identical (you may have heard bioidentical) products with no fillers, talcs, powders, dyes, parabens, or other toxic chemicals.

    We believe hormone replacement goes far beyond relief from hot flashes. Let’s chat!

  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) Is a metabolic disorder, often involving insulin resistance, which can lead to increased androgen levels and other symptoms like irregular periods, acne, hair thinning, and difficulty losing weight. Higher insulin levels in the body can drive ovarian dysfunction and exacerbate the symptoms of PCOS. Managing insulin levels through diet, exercise, and possibly medications can significantly improve symptoms and overall health.

    Women with PCOS need to be aware of the potential long-term effects on reproductive health, including infertility. However, many women with PCOS can get pregnant with the right treatment and lifestyle adjustments. Since PCOS manifests differently in every woman, treatment must be tailored to each person’s unique symptoms, lifestyle, and health needs. This includes considering factors like age, desire for pregnancy, co-existing conditions (such as thyroid disorders), and emotional well-being. Women with PCOS are at risk for:

    • Type 2 diabetes: Due to insulin resistance.

    • Heart disease: Because of hormonal imbalances and metabolic dysfunction.

    • Endometrial cancer: Due to prolonged exposure to unopposed estrogen from irregular ovulation.

  • We specialize in addressing the root causes of fatigue and menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding) with an integrative, patient-centered approach. We work to identify underlying conditions such as hormonal imbalances, anemia, thyroid dysfunction, or chronic stress, which can contribute to both fatigue and heavy periods. By combining evidence-based treatments, such as nutrition support, lifestyle modifications, personalized supplementation, and integrative therapies, we help restore balance to your body and improve your overall quality of life. Whether it's managing symptoms, improving energy levels, or optimizing menstrual health, we are here to support your wellness journey every step of the way.

Ladies, it’s time to talk about menopause.

No more, “Just getting through it.” We have to protect our bones, brains, breasts, and hearts!

Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone play crucial roles in women's health—especially when it comes to bone density, brain function, and cardiovascular well-being. These hormones help maintain everything from mood regulation and energy levels to the health of our muscles and bones.

The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study, which was published in the early 2000s, has had a lasting impact on how hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is viewed. The study used conjugated equine estrogens (derived from horse urine) and synthetic progestins, which led to concerns about the safety of HRT. However, the results of the WHI were later shown to be more nuanced. The types of hormones used in the study were not the same as those found in bioidentical hormone replacement, which are derived from plant sources and are chemically identical to the hormones our bodies naturally produce.

Bioidentical hormones have become more popular because they are considered to be more natural and are thought to carry fewer risks than the synthetic forms used in older HRT treatments. They can help mitigate the symptoms of menopause, support bone health, and improve heart health, but like any treatment, they should be used with careful monitoring. It's important for women to work with healthcare providers who are well-versed in hormone therapy and who can personalize treatment plans based on individual health profiles. That’s where Seaside Med comes in!

The conversation around hormones is certainly evolving, and many women are becoming more informed about their options for maintaining hormonal balance!
