• Sleep trouble�
• Weight changes

But you're not stuck with just "dealing with it."

Can low testosterone contribute to anxiety?
Yes—and the connection runs deeper than you might think.

Testosterone isn’t just about strength or libido. It plays a vital role in brain chemistry, emotional regulation, and how we respond to stress. When testosterone levels drop too low, many men begin to experience symptoms they don’t immediately associate with hormones:
• Heightened anxiety or worry
• Irritability or emotional reactivity
• Mood swings or low motivation
• Trouble concentrating or brain fog
• Sleep disruptions or fatigue

Over time, these symptoms can affect every area of life—from relationships to performance at work.

If you’ve been feeling unlike yourself lately, your hormones might be part of the picture. The good news? Hormone testing and treatment can help uncover the root cause and restore balance—so you can feel more like yourself again.

Your mental health is physical health.

Hormone health, backed by nature and science.

A 12-week clinical trial found that 78% of women with PCOS saw their cycles return to normal after using a structured seed cycling protocol alongside dietary support.

So, what is seed cycling? It’s a nutrition strategy that uses specific seeds during each phase of the menstrual cycle to support hormone balance.
•Flax + pumpkin seeds in the follicular phase
•Sunflower + sesame seeds in the luteal phase

These seeds offer key nutrients like lignans, zinc, selenium, and vitamin E—all of which support estrogen and progesterone balance.

Hormones don’t just regulate your cycle.

Estrogen plays a central role in how your body functions—affecting sleep quality, stress resilience, bone strength, cholesterol levels, cognitive function, and even immune response.

And when estrogen starts to shift, you might feel it as:
• Mood changes or brain fog
• Night sweats or disrupted sleep
• Fatigue, weight gain, or cycle irregularity

Hormone health is influenced by a range of factors—personalized testing and evidence-based therapies help identify what’s driving underlying symptoms.

Biomarkers have transformed how we approach health.

They’re measurable indicators—like cholesterol, hormone levels, or genetic markers—that help us understand what’s happening in the body. In many cases, even before symptoms show up.

But the real value of biomarkers lies in how they’re interpreted. We never treat numbers as the full picture.
• A “normal” result might still signal imbalance when paired with fatigue or brain fog
• Two people with the same lab value may need completely different care
• Context is everything—your symptoms, story, and goals all matter

Because one number doesn’t tell the whole story.

Health decisions should be guided by more than just lab data—which is why functional medicine doctors help interpret those results alongside physical exams, symptoms, and clinical insights to create a fuller picture of what’s going on.

Andropause is real. It refers to the gradual decline of testosterone that can occur in men starting in their 40s.

Common symptoms include:
• Low energy and motivation
• Mood swings or irritability
• Weight gain and muscle loss
• Poor sleep

These aren’t just signs of “getting older.” They’re signs your hormones may be shifting.

Dry needling has emerged as an effective option for people living with chronic neck pain—and now, the research backs it up.

A 2025 meta-analysis of nine clinical studies confirmed what many of our patients already experience: dry needling can reduce pain and improve mobility, particularly in cases of chronic tightness, tension, or mechanical neck pain.

Dry needling can be a part of personalized treatment plans—helping you recover naturally, without medication or guesswork.

What does estrogen have to do with brain health? More than you might think.

A new 2025 study from UC Davis suggests that women who go through menopause later in life may experience slower rates of brain aging.

Researchers have found that for every year menopause is delayed, cognitive aging may slow by about 0.017 percent. This link is largely due to estrogen’s protective effects on the brain—supporting memory, focus, and overall cognitive health as women age. It’s a powerful reminder of how midlife hormonal shifts can impact long-term brain function.

As always, individual experiences with menopause and brain health vary, and ongoing research continues to explore these links.

Food is a powerful tool for hormonal balance.

“From a hormone perspective, the amount, quality, and timing of your food all matter. What you eat—and when—can influence how your hormones are released throughout the day.”
— Dr. Alexandra MacKillop, DC

Try incorporating these into your routine:
Leafy greens → Support estrogen detox
Berries → Antioxidants for hormone stability
Eggs → Healthy fats and vitamin D
Seeds → Natural support for progesterone

What you eat can support your cycle, energy, and mood. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3GmdkNw

Facial acupuncture is a natural practice that supports both skin health and overall well-being.

Here’s how it works:
• Encourages healthy circulation and collagen production
• Helps smooth fine lines, uneven tone, and mild sagging
• Eases puffiness, jaw tension, and stress
• Promotes lymphatic flow for a clearer, refreshed look

Common myths debunked:
Many people assume cosmetic acupuncture is painful, risky, or only offers subtle changes. In reality:
• Pain level: Most describe just a mild, quick “pinch” as the needle enters—typically far less discomfort than injectable treatments.
• Safety: Licensed practitioners use single-use, pre-sterilized needles. There are no incisions, so the risk of scarring or infection is minimal.
• Results: People often notice gentle lifting, smoother texture, and a natural glow after the first few sessions.

Facial acupuncture can address more than fine lines—it may help with uneven tone, acne scarring, tension-related wrinkles, and overall skin vitality.

You can notice gradual improvements that build over several treatments, with results that can last for months—all with no downtime.
