Can Functional Medicine replace hormone therapy completely?

In many cases, yes. Functional Medicine helps the body rebalance hormones naturally. However, some women may benefit from a hybrid approach in the short term.

Is hormone therapy safe for all women?

No. Hormone therapy carries risks, especially for those with a history of cancer, blood clots, or heart disease. Always consult a healthcare provider.

How long does Functional Medicine take to improve hormones?

Most women notice improvements within 3–6 months, depending on consistency and the underlying root causes being addressed.

Is Functional Medicine suitable for perimenopause or PCOS?

Absolutely. Functional Medicine is highly effective for both conditions by balancing estrogen, progesterone, insulin, and adrenal function.

Can I do Functional Medicine online?

Yes. Texas Functional Medicine Telehealth by Dr. Shah offers virtual hormone consultations statewide.
