Hormone Management
Dr. Marie Andersson with Sage Wellness has helped scores of people experiencing hormonal imbalances. Whether you’re in your 20s or 60s, hormone challenges can show up as anything from annoying mood swings to life-disrupting fatigue or infertility. The good news: there are real, chemical reasons behind these symptoms—and they can be addressed naturally, without relying on drugs.
Symptoms Of Hormonal Problems:
Insomnia
Anxiety
PMS (heavy bleeding, menstrual cramps)
Perimenopausal symptoms (fatigue, weight gain, irritability, heavy bleeding)
Uterine fibroids
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
Thyroid dysfunction
Adrenal fatigue
Infertility
Brain fog
Acne
Premature aging
Fatigue
All of these symptoms are signals—not life sentences. They’re your body’s way of asking for support. With the right evaluation and natural treatment approach, they can be addressed and corrected before they evolve into more serious conditions.
Personalized Testing Options
At Sage Wellness, we use modern functional testing methods to understand your unique hormone profile. Based on your symptoms and health history, Dr. Andersson may recommend:
Salivary Hormone Testing
This convenient at-home test measures the active, free forms of hormones like cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, and testosterone. It’s especially useful for identifying adrenal imbalances and understanding your hormonal rhythm throughout the day.Blood Testing
Blood labs help assess both total and free hormone levels, and may include thyroid markers, insulin, inflammatory markers, and more. This comprehensive view allows us to understand how your endocrine system is working in context with the rest of your body.
Both types of testing can be used individually or together to get a full picture of what’s going on.
Optimizing Detox Pathways for Better Hormone Signaling
Balancing hormones isn’t just about producing the right amounts—it’s also about how well your body responds to them. If your detox pathways (especially in the liver and gut) are sluggish, hormones like estrogen may not be properly metabolized or cleared. This can lead to symptoms like estrogen dominance, acne, fibroids, or PMS—even if hormone levels appear normal on paper.
By supporting detoxification with targeted nutrients, herbs, dietary changes, and gentle lifestyle practices, we can help your body:
Process and eliminate excess hormones more efficiently
Improve receptor sensitivity so your cells respond better
Reduce inflammation that blocks hormone signaling
Re-establish balance in your endocrine system naturally
This is a crucial but often overlooked part of restoring true hormone health.
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
When needed, Dr. Andersson also offers bioidentical hormone support—using plant-based compounds that are chemically identical to those your body makes naturally. These are used in very specific, personalized doses to help rebalance:
Estrogen and progesterone (especially during menopause or perimenopause)
DHEA and other adrenal hormones (for energy and stress resilience)
This option is safe, effective, and always part of a broader holistic plan that includes nutrition, detox support, and lifestyle changes.
