One of the areas we’re most passionate about at Ascend is supporting women through hormonal imbalances.

This is an area where far too many women are dismissed, given a quick fix like the contraceptive pill, and left without real answers. At Ascend, we take a deeper, more comprehensive approach to restore balance, function, and quality of life.

Why Conventional Treatment Falls Short

While the pill may mask symptoms temporarily, it doesn’t address the root cause. Hormones are delicate and influenced by a complex network of systems—nutrition, stress, sleep, environment, and training all play a role.

That’s why our process at Ascend begins with understanding what’s really going on beneath the surface.

What Causes Hormone Imbalance?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer—but we see a few common contributors in women who struggle with hormonal health:

🧠 HPA Axis Dysfunction

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis regulates your stress hormones. When it’s dysregulated (usually from chronic stress), it impacts your reproductive hormones too.

🌙 Circadian Rhythm Disruption

Your sleep/wake cycle affects hormone production. Poor sleep or irregular routines can throw off estrogen balance.

🍳 Under-eating or Low-Fat Diets

Insufficient dietary fat or total energy intake can lead to progesterone deficiency—a common issue in women dealing with irregular cycles or PMS.

🦋 Thyroid and Autoimmunity

Thyroid conditions, especially Hashimoto’s, often go hand-in-hand with reproductive hormone imbalances.

Key Stressors We Address

To restore balance, we identify and reduce chronic stressors including:

• Cortisol dysregulation (high cortisol at the wrong times)

• Micronutrient deficiencies that impact detoxification and hormone production

• Toxin exposure (especially xenoestrogens from plastics, skincare, and processed foods)

• Blood sugar imbalances, which we frequently see in conditions like PCOS

Blood sugar regulation is one of the easiest (and most impactful) places to start.
