Hormonal Balance and Endocrine Health in Bellevue, Washington
At Apex Health & Wellness, we specialize in helping patients understand and correct subtle hormone imbalances that often go undetected in conventional lab work.
Whether you’re struggling with fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, or cycle irregularities, our approach to hormone optimization is rooted in functional medicine — identifying the root causes, not just treating the symptoms.
We work with patients experiencing symptoms of thyroid dysfunction, adrenal fatigue, perimenopause, low testosterone, estrogen dominance, and other complex hormonal patterns.
Why Hormonal Balance Matters
Hormones act as chemical messengers that regulate nearly every major function in the body — including metabolism, mood, energy, sleep, sexual function, immune health, and cognitive performance.
Even subtle imbalances can disrupt your quality of life and lead to symptoms like:
Persistent fatigue or burnout
Weight gain (especially around the midsection)
Sleep disturbances or insomnia
Anxiety, depression, or emotional volatility
Irregular menstrual cycles or PMS
Low libido or sexual dysfunction
Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
Cold hands/feet, thinning hair, or dry skin
Muscle loss or poor recovery from exercise
Many patients are told their labs are “normal,” but they still don’t feel well. That’s where a deeper, functional medicine approach can make the difference.
Advanced Hormone Testing
At Apex Health & Wellness, we offer highly customized hormone testing based on your symptoms, goals, and clinical presentation.
Rather than running generic screening labs, we order precision-based panels tailored to your needs — with access to an extensive range of advanced markers.
Your lab work may include:
Thyroid health — TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3, TPO antibodies, and thyroglobulin antibodies
Sex hormones — total and free testosterone, estradiol, estrone, estriol, progesterone, SHBG, LH, FSH, and 17-OH progesterone
Adrenal function — salivary or urinary cortisol, DHEA, and circadian rhythm patterns
Regulatory hormones — insulin, prolactin, IGF-1, and others
Hormone metabolism — urinary hormone metabolites and methylation patterns using tools such as the DUTCH test when appropriate
We offer a wide range of additional markers depending on your case — including inflammatory mediators, nutrient cofactor levels, binding proteins, and secondary signaling pathways that influence hormone production and utilization.
Our Functional Approach to Hormone Balance
Your plan is based on your unique labs, history, and physiology. Depending on your profile, we may incorporate:
Targeted nutrient repletion to support hormone synthesis and detoxification
Adrenal support protocols using adaptogens, stress modulation, and circadian rhythm repair
Thyroid optimization using nutritional and botanical support, and close monitoring of T3/T4 conversion
Sex hormone balancing using precursors, botanicals, or hormone-sparing therapies when appropriate
Lifestyle adjustments for sleep, light exposure, and glycemic control
Peptide therapy, where clinically indicated, to support hormone signaling or repair
Referral for prescription hormone therapy if medically necessary and desired (e.g., bioidentical hormones or TRT)
Our goal is to restore physiological balance, not simply manipulate hormone levels in isolation.
Conditions and Patterns We Commonly Work With

Adrenal dysfunction and HPA axis dysregulation
Estrogen dominance and progesterone deficiency
