We want to make sure you really understand this information. For example, below you will see that liver problems can be a root cause of PMS and hormone imbalance.
What this means is that a problem in the liver system can lead to an imbalance in your hormonal system. This is why if we simply just give hormones such as giving birth control, you will need to remain on the birth control pretty permanently or your symptoms are likely going to come back. This is why using birth control does not permanently fix PMS.
If the problem is stemming from the liver or any of the other root cause areas listed below and we do not fix the root cause, then we will need to always supplement with external hormones. When we do advanced lab testing to figure out the true cause and fix that, we can avoid life long hormonal replacement therapy because understand and fix the root. This is how we make permanent and lasting changes to PMS and other hormonal symptoms.

Synthetic Hormones may cause the following:
- Taking prescription drugs oftentimes just masks the symptoms but does nothing to remedy the root cause of the imbalance -- which can be poor diet or nutritional deficiencies, gut issues, toxic environmental factors, or genetic tendencies.
- Using prescriptions to mask symptoms is dangerous as it allows the disorder to progress without the patient knowing -- and in many cases can create imbalances in other areas of the body.
- Many medications also have serious side effects -- such as stroke, osteoporosis, anxiety, reproductive problems, cancer and more.

"I’ve worked with Medicine with Heart for the last year and have been very pleased! My symptoms resulted from mold exposure and, because of her own personal experience, Dr. Mueller related well my situation. Both Dr.’s Mueller and Nichols are so committed to helping patients heal and improve quality of life. In addition, I greatly appreciate having a health coach, Michelle, to work with. She is very responsive to text messages and demonstrated genuine investment in my healing. What I love about the practice is they take a very individualized approach and I felt the doctors took extra time to research my particular issues and symptoms. In my experience, that is highly unusual and, therefore, greatly appreciated! I also want to add they are very fair with what they charge for their services as well as supplements. I never felt pressured to follow what they recommended – I always felt like they worked with me and if I chose not to purchase a supplement, I felt they were as committed to my well-being as if I had. My symptoms have improved and this would NOT have happened if I had not found Medicine with Heart! I highly recommend the practice!"
