A few of our hormone success stories:
“I have been seeing Karen at Alpenglow Acupuncture for several years and I am so grateful for the relief she has provided me. I had gotten to the point where I was having several (6 to 8) hot flashes per day and night sweats and it was impacting my mood and productivity. I also had no energy. I made an appointment to see Karen and she asked questions and listened to everything going on in my life. After that visit, I didn't have any hot flashes that day - and maybe one or two the entire week! I was so grateful and relieved and felt like I had my life back! Karen recommended a series of appointments and a few herbal supplements, which I followed, and I feel amazing. No hot flashes and more energy! My doctor has supported me in wanting to try different treatments (and avoiding hormonal treatments if I can, which I have). I am beyond grateful to Karen and her team at Alpenglow for the relief and for this path!”

“I have been receiving acupuncture treatments for almost 6 years and am always surprised by how much it helps with things i didn't expect! I started for neck pain...but have had the added benefit of it significantly helping with anxiety and hormone/menopause symptoms. I am truly blessed to have found Karen and Alpenglow Acupuncture!”

“I have been regularly going to Karen for acupuncture to treat hormone imbalance and peri-menopause symptoms (hot flashes, fatigue, vertigo, insomnia, irritability, etc). I am thrilled with the results! I feel better mentally and physically and my peri-menopause symptoms are greatly improved. I highly recommend Alpenglow!”

Our Hormone Balance Program
Our hormone balance program is designed to support your body’s innate intelligence and harmonize the delicate balance of your peri-menopause stage. We incorporate a detailed holistic analysis of your unique constitution and combine it with information gleaned by your laboratory results(if needed). It is our view that by combining holistic and scientific approaches, we are on the cutting edge of hormone care, providing our patients with a high degree of accuracy and efficacy. Your treatment program will consist of:
A detailed intake consultation to pinpoint the type, source, and cause of disharmony in your hormone cycle.
Development of a customized treatment plan that addresses the symptoms as well as the root cause of your imbalance.
Regular acupuncture treatments designed to support and encourage proper balance at every stage of the hormone cycle.
Customized herbal prescriptions tailored to your individual needs.
A targeted nutritional support regimen that is designed to nourish and balance blocked and depleted glands, and that is grounded in biomedical knowledge and research.
Mind-body exercises, meditations, and lifestyle guidance that leverage the amazing power of the mind and emotions.
A Comprehensive Approach to Hormones
Our natural health approach offers a much-needed element – the element of holistic, individualized care. While conventional medicine is king in terms of scientific research and complex microscopic procedures, our unique blend of Nutritional Therapy, Herbal Medicine, and Acupuncture is unmatched in its understanding and application of treatment that addresses the entirety of body, mind and spirit.
Body, mind and spirit are part of a single, organic whole. Any attempt at healing and wholeness must by definition address all three of these vital aspects of the human being. In other words, the state of hormonal balance and function, and the structure of organs and tissues, influence and are influenced by life experiences, emotional tendencies, thought patterns, and daily habits. Where conventional medicine often seeks to eliminate mind and spirit as “confounding variables” which skew the results of experiments, our holistic approach includes them as a matter of fundamental principle.
FAQs
How does acupuncture help with hormone imbalances?
Acupuncture improves the neuroendocrine axis (the communication between your nervous and endocrine systems), enhances circulation to your ovaries and uterus, and dramatically reduces stress – all of which benefits your hormones.
What about herbs?
Herbal medicines have been used for menopause issues for centuries. They restore depleted glands, balance your endocrine system, reduce inflammation and have many other positive effects on your reproductive system.
Do you give dietary recommendations?
Absolutely. You will receive specific dietary recommendations based on your unique needs and preferences.
How long does it take to work?
We’ve seen it take as little as 4 weeks and as long as 3 months. Everybody is different and the time prognosis varies.
What are my chances of success?
Your situation is unique and once we meet with you we will be able to give you our best estimate of time and prognosis of outcome.

Gentle, Painless Acupuncture.
Acupuncture is one of the most powerful ways to naturally stimulate your body’s internal healing process. With simple treatment, it gets right to work repairing and restoring all cells and tissues. Acupuncture harnesses the vast healing intelligence your body contains to help you heal faster.
Herbal Medicine
Herbs simultaneously cure and strengthen the body. This dual action is something unique to herbal medicine that makes it very well suited to treat chronic and non-life threatening conditions like migraine, PMS, menstrual difficulties, menopausal symptoms, hormonal imbalance, and reproductive issues.
Functional Nutritional Therapy
You'll receive a clear, easy-to-follow nutritional plan. When your cells, glands, and tissues are fully nourished with the specific nutrients they need they naturally function at a very high level. This means you feel your best because your body’s key systems are optimized.
Relaxation and Stress-Reduction
When your nervous system is calm, your hormonal system, immune system, digestive, and circulatory systems all calm down, too. This means more hormonal balance, less inflammation, better circulation and nutrient absorption.
