Approach to Hormonal Symptoms

You probably already know that what you eat affects your body—and, therefore, your health. Nutrition and exercise are often seen as the foundation of good health. We certainly focus on that foundation in our counseling, but we also look at factors that are often overlooked.

Your hormones don’t function in isolation from the rest of your body. They are in constant interaction with your stress response system, your blood sugar regulation, your sleep-wake cycle, and your nervous system. As a result, prolonged stress, an irregular schedule, or insufficient rest can also contribute to hormonal issues.

That’s why, when it comes to hormonal issues such as PCOS/PMOS and PMS, we don’t focus on just one aspect, but rather on how these factors are interconnected in your case. Below, you’ll find a breakdown of what we cover in our support program for each aspect.

  • Diet plays an important role in your hormonal health. For example, what you eat affects your blood sugar regulation, metabolism, and the availability of nutrients your body needs, among other things.

    We'll take a look at your current eating habits and explore what changes can support your health. The focus isn't on a strict diet, but on a way of eating that fits your needs and daily life

  • Long-term stress can affect various processes in your body, including your sleep, digestion, menstrual cycle, and hormones.

    During the counseling sessions, we’ll explore how your body reacts to stress and what factors contribute to it.

    Where appropriate, we use techniques such as breathing exercises and mindfulness to promote relaxation and recovery.

    • Recognizing Stressors

    • Learning how to regulate your emotions

    • Changing Unhelpful Behavioral Patterns and Habits

    • Recognizing and Addressing Negative, Limiting Thoughts

    • Psychoeducation: Learning More About Your Body and How It Works

    • Understanding how past experiences influence your behavior and current health issues

  • Exercise plays an important role in hormonal health. Regular exercise improves insulin sensitivity, reduces stress, and can therefore support the menstrual cycle.

    On the other hand, exercising too intensely or too much—especially when combined with inadequate nutrition and recovery—can actually disrupt your hormonal health.

    That's why we'll look at your current exercise routine and determine which types of exercise and what intensity level are best for you. We'll also make sure you get enough rest and recovery time.

  • Your body has an internal biological clock that determines when you wake up and feel sleepy, but it also influences the production of hormones such as cortisol and melatonin. A disrupted sleep cycle can therefore affect your hormonal health.

    We look at your sleep quality and daily habits, such as your bedtimes, exposure to daylight, and times of activity and rest.

    Through practical adjustments, we’ll work toward establishing a regular sleep and daily routine that supports your hormonal health.

  • As part of the management of hormonal symptoms, additional laboratory tests may be ordered.

    This can help you gain a better understanding of your health and any factors that may be contributing to your symptoms, so that we can better tailor our care to your body.

    for example, measuring blood sugar levels, hormones, body temperature, or performing a colonoscopy.

    ROMEE works with several certified laboratories. Do you already have blood test results or other test results from your primary care physician or specialist? If so, we can take those into account during our consultations.
