Holistic Solutions for Hormone Issues

Healthcare services imageHormones influence nearly every system in the body—energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, fertility, stress response, digestion, and immune function. When hormones are out of balance, symptoms can appear far beyond the reproductive system.

At Harding Holistics, we take a root-cause, systems-based approach to hormone health. Rather than suppressing symptoms, we focus on identifying imbalances, supporting detoxification and metabolism, and restoring communication between the brain and body so hormones can regulate naturally.

Our Holistic Approach to Hormone Balance.

Hormone dysfunction is rarely caused by one hormone alone. It often reflects:

  1. Chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation
  2. Impaired hormone metabolism or detoxification
  3. Blood sugar instability
  4. Inflammation or gut dysfunction
  5. Environmental and food-based stressors

That’s why we use advanced testing, whole-food nutrition, herbal medicine, cold laser therapy, and chiropractic care to support hormone balance at every level.

To properly address hormone concerns, we must first understand how your body is producing, metabolizing, and clearing hormones.

The DUTCH Test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) provides an in-depth view of hormone patterns that blood tests often miss.DUTCH testing evaluates: Cortisol and daily stress rhythm, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels, how hormones are being metabolized and cleared, androgen activity and adrenal function, methylation activity, organic acids, neurotransmitter, and more.



Our Holistic Approach to Hormone Balance

Entering Harding Holistics for hormone-related concerns is the first step toward a partnership built on trust and clinical expertise. We understand that hormonal struggles can feel deeply personal and sometimes overwhelming, which is why we emphasize a warm, family-oriented atmosphere where your voice is heard. Our process is designed to move beyond surface-level symptoms to discover the unique biological story of each patient in Springfield.

  • In-Depth Wellness Dialogue: We begin with a detailed consultation to discuss your history, focusing on symptoms like brain fog, sleep disturbances, or temperature sensitivities. We want to understand how these issues affect your life in Springfield and what your specific goals for recovery look like.
  • The Role of Chiropractic Care in Hormone Health. Since the nervous system oversees hormonal regulation, Dr. John or Dr. Shanna will perform a thorough evaluation of your spinal health. This assessment helps us identify any areas where physical stress might be impacting your body’s ability to regulate its own chemistry. Hormones are regulated through constant communication between the brain, spinal cord, and endocrine organs.
  • Advanced Hormone Testing: To properly address hormone concerns, we must first understand how your body is producing, metabolizing, and clearing hormones. The DUTCH Test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) provides an in-depth view of hormone patterns that blood tests often miss.
  • Whole-Food Hormone Support with Standard Process. Once imbalances are identified, we focus on supporting the body’s ability to regulate hormones naturally. We use Standard Process whole-food supplements to nourish the organs and systems involved in hormone production and metabolism.
  • Targeted Herbal Support with MediHerb. Herbal medicine plays a key role in regulating hormones and supporting stress resilience. MediHerb professional herbal formulas are selected based on your unique hormone patterns and stress response.
  • Cold Laser Therapy for Hormone and Nervous System Regulation. Cold laser therapy is a powerful tool for supporting hormonal health by improving cellular energy and nervous system balance.
  • The Power of Simple Lifestyle Modifications. Hormones are deeply influenced by the nervous system, stress perception, and daily rhythms. Even the best testing and supplementation can be limited if the body remains locked in a chronic stress response. That’s why we emphasize simple, sustainable lifestyle practices that help shift the body from survival mode into healing mode.
  • Long-Term Monitoring and Support: Hormonal balance is a delicate process that evolves over time. We provide regular check-ins to monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments to your plan, ensuring you feel supported throughout your entire journey toward wellness in Clark County.
