When hormones fall out of balance, you might experience a cascade of health issues. You may have heard about hormones when it comes to mood swings or sexual health, but their functions go far beyond these areas. In fact, your hormones are related to inflammation, weight gain, mental clarity, immune function, and so much more.
If you have not found answers to chronic symptoms, it’s time for a deep dive into your hormone health.
Kelly Felmer, DNP, and her team at Discovery Health Healing Center in Green Bay take a functional medicine approach to hormonal imbalances. We will explore the root causes of your symptoms and help you achieve lasting relief. Click below to get started.
Are Hormones the Root Cause of Your Symptoms? Feel Better By Focusing on the Triangle of Thyroid, Ovaries, and Adrenals
Hormones act as messengers, influencing nearly every bodily function, which is why it’s so important to maintain balance. Kelly emphasizes the importance of understanding the interconnectedness of hormones and their impact on various bodily systems. When approaching patients, she likes to focus on what she calls the triangle of hormones. This includes the thyroid, ovaries, and adrenals.
Optimizing hormone balance is crucial for maintaining overall health and well-being. The thyroid, ovaries, and adrenals are key players in the endocrine system, each producing hormones that regulate various bodily functions. By optimizing hormone levels in these areas, individuals can experience significant improvements in their quality of life.
The thyroid gland produces hormones such as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which regulate metabolism, energy production, and body temperature. An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, constipation, dry skin, and depression. On the other hand, an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) can cause symptoms like weight loss, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, and irritability.
Optimizing thyroid hormone levels is essential for maintaining energy levels, metabolism, and overall vitality. This may involve medication to replace deficient hormones or address underlying thyroid disorders. Additionally, lifestyle factors such as stress management, adequate sleep, and nutrition play crucial roles in supporting thyroid health.
The ovaries produce hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, which regulate the menstrual cycle, fertility, mood, and bone health in women. Fluctuations or imbalances in these hormones can lead to menstrual irregularities, infertility, mood swings, and decreased bone density.
Optimizing ovarian hormone levels is vital for reproductive health and overall well-being in women. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be recommended for menopausal women to alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Lifestyle factors such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress reduction techniques can also support hormonal balance and overall health.
Optimizing adrenal hormone levels is crucial for managing stress and promoting overall resilience. Lifestyle interventions such as stress reduction techniques (e.g., meditation, yoga), adequate sleep, regular exercise, and a balanced diet can support adrenal health. In some cases, supplementation with adaptogenic herbs or medications may be necessary to restore hormonal balance.
By optimizing hormone levels in the thyroid, ovaries, and adrenals, individuals can experience improved energy levels, mood stability, reproductive health, and overall quality of life. We invite you to work with Discovery Health Healing Center and work with our practitioners to assess hormone levels accurately and develop personalized treatment plans tailored to individual needs.
Functional Nutrition for Hormone Balance
Our functional nutritionist Ciera Watermollen, MS, collaborates closely with patients to address hormone imbalances through dietary interventions. Nutrition plays a crucial role in hormone production and regulation, and Ciera employs personalized nutrition plans to support hormonal health and overall wellness.
Ciera started as a patient before joining the team. She says, “I was struggling with both gut and hormone issues. I felt tired more often than not, bloated, constipated, and experienced hormonal imbalances. With the help of Kelly Felmer and changing my lifestyle through food and exercise, I was able to truly heal and now feel the best I ever have.”
Now she applies the same mindset to every patient she works with. See how functional nutrition can support your hormone journey in Green Bay.
Personalized Lifestyle Wellness
Recognizing that hormone imbalances often stem from lifestyle factors, Kelly Felmer's team emphasizes the importance of addressing underlying stressors such as poor sleep, sedentary lifestyle, and unhealthy diet. Additionally, they offer a range of services aimed at promoting relaxation and detoxification, which can support optimal hormone performance.
These services may include ozone therapy, pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy, red light therapy, and more.
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy and More
Addressing hormone imbalances requires a comprehensive approach that goes beyond merely managing symptoms. Kelly and her team use bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to restore hormonal balance in certain situations.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy restores hormonal balance and alleviates symptoms by introducing hormones to the body. These hormones are identical in structure to those naturally produced by your body, which makes it easy for your body to recognize these replacement hormones.
BHRT is a more natural and tailored approach to hormone therapy than synthetic therapies. For pellet therapy, we use the Biote service. We may also recommend hormone injections and creams depending on how you react to your wellness plan. Of course, we never want to add unnecessary medications to your regimen. We will only pursue additional hormone therapies when your body doesn’t respond to more fundamental functional medicine interventions like nutrition, fitness, lifestyle changes, supplements, and more.
Don’t Let Your Hormones Run Amok.

Dr. Kelly is awesome!
She really listens and provides answers that I have never heard before.
After just 2 treatments I feel better than the dozens of doctors before her combined.
