If you’re experiencing fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, irregular periods, hair loss, low libido, or sleep disruption, your hormones may be at the root of it. At Virtual Integrative Specialists (VIS), our licensed naturopathic hormone specialists in Seattle and Shoreline WA take a comprehensive, whole-body approach to hormonal health that goes far beyond what a standard blood panel reveals.
We accept Premera, BCBS, Regence, Cigna, LifeWise, First Choice, Aetna, and Ambetter. No referral needed.
Why Conventional Hormone Testing Falls Short
Most standard hormone panels check only a handful of markers — estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and TSH. But hormonal health is far more complex than four numbers. At VIS we run comprehensive hormone panels that include:
- Estradiol, estrone, and estriol — the full estrogen picture
- Progesterone — and its ratio to estrogen
- Free and total testosterone
- DHEA-S — adrenal androgen that affects energy, mood, and metabolism
- Cortisol — morning, afternoon, and evening patterns
- Fasting insulin and blood sugar — the metabolic hormone connection
- Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) — affects how much hormone is actually available to your cells
- TSH, Free T3, Free T4, reverse T3 and thyroid antibodies, etc — for the full thyroid picture
The result is a complete hormonal picture that reveals patterns conventional testing consistently misses.
Hormonal Conditions We Treat
- PCOS — polycystic ovarian syndrome, irregular periods, androgen excess, insulin resistance
- PMS and PMDD — severe premenstrual symptoms, mood dysregulation, cramping, bloating
- Estrogen dominance — heavy periods, breast tenderness, fibroids, weight gain, mood swings
