If you have been told that your labs are “normal” but still don’t feel right, there may be deeper issues that have not been fully evaluated.
At The Mills Institute, we look beyond symptom management to identify root-causes and build a personal plan.
On behalf of The Mills Institute, I would like to take the time to thank you for taking the first step toward taking control of your own health and wellness through Functional Medicine. I will personally help you identify your health goals and aspirations and make them a reality. I will do this through listening, questioning, searching, and implementing preventative measures. Unlike many in my field, I have spent 20+ years studying both conventional and alternative medicine and have received board certification in Age Management, Hormone Therapy, and Functional Medicine. Improving the lives of my patients is my passion!
Let’s find the missing pieces in your health together!
SERVICES
Men's Hormone Management
Optimize and balance your hormones to achieve the pinnacle of wellness.
As we age it is common for hormone levels to drop. In men, this includes Testosterone, Progesterone, and Thyroid (T3, T4). Other hormones such as Estrogen may rise. Cortisol levels can either rise dramatically or plummet, both of which are undesirable.
All of the hormonal changes noted above will cause changes in a man’s libido and muscle strength/mass. They will also affect mood, cardiac health, memory, mental clarity, and metabolism. View more information about Men’s Hormone Management.
Women's Hormone Management
Achieve a more youthful you through Perfect Hormone Balance.
As a woman ages, she experiences many hormonal changes. Balance is the goal! Estrogen and Progesterone levels in and of themselves are only part of the wellness picture. Identifying and correcting the ratios between the two is critical.
Symptoms such as: Insomnia, low libido, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, hot flashes, weight gain, and headaches can all be traced back to some form of hormone imbalance. View more information about Women’s Hormone Management.
Adrenal Care
This often overlooked aspect of health, once examined and optimized will prove to be a game-changer! Energy, concentration, and immune health will reach new heights.
Cortisol, Pregnenolone, and DHEA are the major hormones of the Adrenal glands. During times of acute stress, Cortisol levels rise leading to palpitations, hypertension, insomnia and anxiety. After prolonged episodes of stress, Cortisol levels begin to drop, leading to a compromised immune system, joint aches and pains, energy slumps in the afternoon, digestive issues, multiple allergies, and sugar cravings. After adrenal health is assessed and corrected higher levels of health can be achieved. View more information about Adrenal Care
