Hormone Health

Your hormones aren’t the problem. They’re the messengers. Let’s listen.

If you feel like your hormones are running the show, you're not alone. Hormones affect nearly everything—mood, energy, weight, fertility, sleep, skin—and hormonal imbalances can show up in frustrating and often confusing ways. But these symptoms are messages, not random.

At Beam Health, we offer comprehensive, evidence-informed support for hormonal health. Whether you’re navigating your cycle, preparing for pregnancy, managing PMDD, or entering menopause, we help you understand what your body is trying to communicate and how to restore balance.

You deserve to feel heard, supported, and empowered at every stage of hormonal change.

From painful periods and hormonal acne to perimenopause, thyroid dysfunction, and post-birth control recovery—hormonal symptoms are common, but that doesn’t make them normal.

    • Unexplained fatigue (tired even after a full night’s sleep)

    • Weight changes (difficulty losing weight, sudden gain, or unexplained loss)

    • Mood swings (irritability, anxiety, low mood, or feeling “on edge”)

    • Sleep issues (difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking unrefreshed)

    • Hot flashes or night sweats

    • Brain fog (trouble focusing, forgetfulness, feeling scattered)

    • Changes in menstrual cycles (irregular, heavy, painful, or absent periods)
