Hormones are your body’s chemical messengers. They travel in your bloodstream to tissues or organs. They affect many areas of your health including gut health, fertility, energy, metabolism, libido, weight, and mood. Our hormones affect us from birth to the end of life. We have monthly hormonal cycles, and then there are seasons of life when our hormones seem to take over and cause havoc such as when we approach peri-menopause and ultimately menopause. Clare Kelway is a functional medicine practitioner skilled in hormone balancing and how this affects all other systems of your body. This is where functional medicine excels since we are working with root cause medicine – digging deep to determine what the underlying causes of your hormone imbalances actually are.

Estrogen and progesterone are known for their influence on a woman’s reproductive life. Starting with menstruation to pregnancy to menopause and beyond. But your body also makes and uses many other kinds of hormones that affect other aspects of your life. They affect your energy level, weight, mood, and much more.

We help women with pre-conception care, fertility planning, and postpartum issues, pre-menstrual hormone issues, and the BIG ones, perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause. If you wonder if your hormones are imbalanced, reach out to us.


Hormone imbalances are not just about female sex hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. You have hundreds of hormone messengers impacting your health.
Your post menopause period will be at least a third of your life so it is vital that you have a health partner who can help you navigate this transition for smooth sailing. Just adding bioidentical female hormones will not provide the harmony you are seeking. We provide natural solutions to hormone imbalances. We combine your genetics with metabolism, hormone levels and microbiome health to determine best outcomes for you.
If your body is working efficiently, your hormones are a wonderful friend. Hormones let systems know when to turn on and off. But it is when messaging goes wrong, that hormones get a bad rap.

The functional medicine approach to hormone imbalances starts with personalized lifestyle interventions, often augmented with botanicals or nutritional supplements. We run functional lab testing to get a detailed picture of hormones and their metabolism along with specialized lab testing in other systems that relate to your health concerns.
