Hormone Balancing

Our Approach.

Are you struggling with stubborn weight, low energy, painful periods, or irregular cycles? Have you had blood work done only to hear everything looks "normal" — yet you still don't feel like yourself? You're not imagining it, and you're not alone.

At BirthCo. we go beyond the surface to uncover the root cause of hormonal imbalances using a data-driven approach that combines DUTCH testing and functional nutrition.

Functional nutrition views food as medicine — supporting the body in healing from the inside out. Using food, nutritional supplements, diet, and lifestyle shifts, we work to rebalance your biochemical systems at the source.

Nothing cookie-cutter. Everything personalized to you.

Hormone balancing isn't a destination — it's an ongoing dialogue with your body. We make changes, we listen, and we refine. When your body responds well, we lean in. When it asks for something different, we adjust. It's a process of learning your body's language and honoring what it needs.

I chose to start working with Dr. Michelle because I was experiencing extreme fatigue, weight gain, and irregular periods about a year postpartum. Within a month of starting my program with her I was sleeping better, was able to give up coffee, and I lost 10 pounds! I'm so excited to continue to work with her and feel better and better.

DUTCH Test

DUTCH stands for Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones. This test is highly utilized in our functional nutrition process! When it comes to evaluating our patients' hormones and figuring out the root cause of their problems, we prefer to use this method compared to the gold standard serum (blood) testing. We recommend the DUTCH Test because it uses multiple urine samples at different times of the day and at different times in your menstrual cycle for a more precise value. This gives us a better idea of how your hormones fluctuate during your cycle as a whole, while the serum test is only able to catch the hormone sample at one point in time.

This test measures the urine metabolites (what's being excreted in your urine) to assess:

Cortisol Levels
Melatonin
Hormones (DHEA-S, Progesterone, Estrone, Testosterone, Estriol, Estradiol, Etiocholanolone, Androsterone)
Organic Acids

GI Effects Comprehensive Profile Test

The GI Effects Comprehensive Profile Test can provide clarity into the root cause of gastrointestinal symptoms such as gas, diarrhea, bloating, indigestion, abdominal pain, and constipation. It is an advanced stool test that assesses digestive function, intestinal inflammation, and the intestinal microbiome to provide a comprehensive overview of gastrointestinal health.

Extensive scientific research associates an imbalance of the normal gut microbiota or dysbiosis not only to gastrointestinal conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but also wider systemic issues such as cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, malnutrition, skin conditions, autoimmune disorders, immune system imbalances, and hormonal imbalances.

This test will assess 5 key areas of gut function:

Maldigestion
Inflammation
Dysbiosis
Infection
Metabolite Function

Full Thyroid Panel

Thyroid hormones control energy metabolism, regulate body temperature, and influence the growth and development of body tissues. They also play a role in regulating mood, digestion, and menstrual cycles. A full thyroid panel is a blood test used to evaluate levels of various thyroid hormones and related substances in the body. This test is used to assess overall thyroid function and diagnose thyroid disorders.

A full thyroid panel looks at the following markers:

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
Free thyroxine (T4)
Free triiodothyronine (T3)
Reverse T3 (rT3)
Thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb)

A full thyroid panel is often recommended for patients who have symptoms of thyroid dysfunction, such as fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, and cold intolerance, as well as for those who have a family history of thyroid disease or who have been diagnosed with other autoimmune disorders.

NutraEval FMV

The NutraEval FMV is a blood and urine test used for identifying nutritional deficiencies and insufficiencies. It is a comprehensive test that analyzes over 125 biomarkers and evaluates over 40 antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, amino acids, essential fatty acids, and other selected nutrients.
Some of the nutrition biomarkers in this test include:

Organic acids
Oxidative stress markers
Essential and non-essential amino acids
Dietary peptide-related markers
Essential and metabolic fatty acids markers
Micronutrients
Toxic elements

Nutrients play a vital role in every physiological process in the body, from metabolism and immunity to hormone regulation and digestion. Thus, proper nutrition is key to preventing and managing many diseases. This test is recommended for patients suffering symptoms related to nutritional imbalances and deficiencies such as mood disorders, fatigue, weight issues, malnutrition, maldigestion, malabsorption and increased nutrient demand due to physical trauma or healing. Even if you are symptom-free, this test can assess your overall nutritional status and help prevent future health issues from occurring.
