Menopause issues are one of the most common hormonal concerns that respond well to Dr. Dunn’s natural treatment protocols. For an excellent overview on this subject please see his November 2007 newsletter on menopause.
Menopause in the modern world is not just about hormone change, it is also about the level of stress 21st century woman experience that determines the degree of symptoms seen during this period of transition. A systems approach is what makes Dr. Dunn’s treatments so effective, addressing not only the hormone decline, but adrenal and thyroid status, toxic overload and nutritional deficiencies for a whole person, body and mind approach to healing.
Saliva hormone testing for estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and cortisol is essential for individualized care for both women and men, especially with prostate problems and andropause (male menopause). Saliva testing transcends standard blood tests for evaluating the activity of your hormones. Saliva hormone test results coupled with nutritional guidance, natural supplements including bio-identical hormones, herbs and homeopathy provide a safe and effective means of addressing hot flashes, night sweats, memory issues, osteoporosis, vaginal and bladder concerns. Other conditions that will benefit with saliva testing include fibroids, PMS, polycystic ovarian condition infertility and postpartum depression.
Diabetic hormonal deficiencies are generally treatable without synthetic medicine. Many factors contribute to diabetes and Dr. Dunn is an expert in helping to identify the individual stresses that play a role in uncontrolled blood sugar. Integrated natural treatments including botanical medicine, natural supplements, dietary modulation and hormone balancing give excellent results when it comes to diabetes.
Dr. Dunn is knowledgeable about the recent research linking the role of environmental contaminants to diabetes. Lifestyle counseling and appropriate testing for toxic overload is a crucial element in Dr. Dunn’s care of diabetic patients.
