Hormones regulate nearly every system in the body, from metabolism to mood. When they’re out of balance, the effects can be wide-ranging—fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, mood swings, or disrupted sleep. For many patients, standard bloodwork may look “normal,” yet symptoms persist.
At Delaware Functional Medicine and Longevity, board-certified physician Dr. David M. Creech takes a deeper look at hormone health. As a board-certified physician serving patients in Wilmington, he uses advanced testing and functional medicine strategies to restore balance and improve daily well-being.
Understanding Hormonal Disruptions
Hormone imbalances may involve:
- Thyroid hormones that control metabolism and energy
- Cortisol that manages stress response
- Estrogen and progesterone in women, especially around perimenopause and menopause
- Testosterone in men and women, influencing energy, mood, and muscle mass
- Insulin that regulates blood sugar and metabolic stability
Because hormones interact with each other, even small imbalances can create significant symptoms.
Positive Changes Patients Often Notice
When hormone balance is restored, improvements may include:
- More stable daily energy levels
- Better sleep quality and stress tolerance
- Easier weight management and muscle support
- Reduced mood swings or anxiety
- Clearer concentration and memory
- Relief from hot flashes, night sweats, or low libido
Patients often feel more in control of their bodies once balance is achieved.
Who Should Consider Hormone Evaluation?
Functional medicine testing may help if you:
- Struggle with ongoing fatigue, brain fog, or poor sleep
- Experience perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms
- Suspect thyroid or adrenal issues despite “normal” labs
- Notice weight changes that don’t respond to diet or exercise
- Want to take a proactive approach to hormone health as you age
What to Expect From Care
Dr. Creech begins with a thorough history and advanced hormone testing. Based on results, your care plan may involve:
- Nutrition adjustments to support hormone production and balance
- Lifestyle recommendations for sleep and stress management
- Supplements when deficiencies are contributing factors
- Recovery therapies like sauna or red light to reduce inflammation and support hormone regulation
- Ongoing monitoring to adapt care as hormones shift over time
