Hormone balancing & women's medicine

Hormone imbalances are common, but they are not something you have to accept. Evidence-based options to restore balance and reclaim your vitality at every stage of life.

Your hormones don't operate in silos. Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, insulin, and thyroid hormones are part of one connected system, and a symptom in one area is almost always a clue about another. Dr. Burke's integrative approach evaluates the whole picture and builds a plan tailored to your unique chemistry.

How we work

Three steps from your first visit to a clear, individualized hormone plan, one that adapts as your labs and symptoms evolve over time.

Step 01

Full history & intake

A one-hour first visit covering your symptoms, cycle history, prior labs, medications, lifestyle, and stress. The goal is a full map of your hormonal landscape before any plan is built.

  • Cycle & symptom timeline
  • Family & medical history
  • Lifestyle, sleep & stress
  • Goals for treatment

Step 02

Comprehensive testing

Lab work matched to your specific picture, serum, saliva, or urine testing as indicated. Dr. Burke interprets results using optimal reference ranges and looks at hormones in context with each other.

  • Sex hormones (cycle-timed)
  • Cortisol
  • Thyroid & insulin markers
  • Nutrient & inflammation co-factors

Step 03

Personalized plan

A treatment plan that may include nutrition, lifestyle change, targeted supplementation, botanical medicine, and bio-identical hormones or pharmaceuticals when indicated. Adjusted as you respond.

  • Nutrition & lifestyle protocol
  • Herbal & nutraceutical support
  • Bio-identical or Rx options
  • Regular re-evaluation

What sets Dr. Burke apart

Treating the system, not the symptom

Dr. Burke is a licensed naturopathic doctor with a focus in endocrinology and women's health. She is an advocate for your wellbeing, looking beyond labs that come back "normal," beyond a single hormone in isolation, and beyond a quick prescription.

Her practice blends rigorous, ethical, evidence-based care with the depth of integrative medicine. The result is a plan that respects your time, your values, and your full health picture, not just your worst symptom.

Answers, upfront

01.Can we discuss medication options alongside natural care?

Absolutely. Dr. Burke routinely blends conventional and naturopathic medicine to give you a full picture of your options, so you can make an informed choice that fits your goals and your values.

02.What kind of lab testing is involved?

It depends on your specific picture, but typically includes a combination of serum (blood), salivary, and/or urine testing. Dr. Burke will discuss insurance and cash-pay lab options to fit your budget.

03.How long until I see results?

Many patients notice changes within the first few weeks. Lasting hormonal change typically takes 3–6 months as labs, cycle, and symptoms re-stabilize. Dr. Burke will set realistic expectations at your initial visit.

04.Do you offer bio-identical hormone therapy?

Yes, when it's indicated and appropriate. Bio-identical hormones are one option among many. Dr. Burke will discuss benefits, risks, and candidacy based on your full history. See the menopause consult for more.

05.Do you accept insurance?

Dr. Burke does not contract with insurance, which allows for longer, more meaningful visits. HSA cards are welcome. Most insurers cover the lab work Dr. Burke orders.
