Hormone Imbalance Is Not Always "Just Aging"
Your Personalized Hormone Therapy Roadmap
Hormone optimization at RewindMD combines functional medicine, comprehensive lab review, and physician-guided treatment options for patients in Encinitas, San Diego, and North County. Care may include BHRT, testosterone support, peptides, supplements, nutrition, and lifestyle guidance when clinically appropriate.
Comprehensive Lab Testing
Your care begins with a consultation and lab evaluation designed to identify hormone, nutrient, metabolic, and wellness factors that may be contributing to fatigue, weight resistance, libido changes, sleep concerns, or mood shifts.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
When appropriate, physician-recommended options may include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), testosterone support, or pellet-based hormone care. Patients comparing options can also learn more about hormone pellet therapy.
Lifestyle, Peptide & Supplement Optimization
Many symptoms are influenced by nutrition, sleep, stress, nutrient status, metabolic health, and inflammation. RewindMD may pair hormone care with lifestyle guidance, peptide therapy, IV therapy, or supplement support when it fits your medical history and goals.
How Does Peptide Therapy Support Wellness and Vitality?
Peptide therapy is an exciting and growing area of functional medicine that goes beyond traditional hormone therapy. At RewindMD, Dr. Scott Gillin recommends specific peptides based on your health goals, lab results, and medical history. Common peptides used in our practice include BPC-157 for tissue repair and gut healing, CJC-1295 with Ipamorelin for growth hormone secretagogue therapy to support lean muscle mass and fat metabolism, AOD-9604 for targeted weight loss and metabolic support, GHK-Cu for tissue regeneration and anti-aging benefits, and PT-141 for sexual wellness and libido support. Each peptide protocol is tailored to the individual patient and monitored through follow-up lab testing to support safety and efficacy. Peptide therapy may be used alone or alongside bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, including pellet therapy, as part of a comprehensive functional medicine plan.
What Role Does Thyroid Health Play in Hormone Balance?
Thyroid dysfunction is one of the most commonly overlooked factors in hormone imbalance. Even suboptimal thyroid function, where labs fall within a normal range but are not optimal for the individual, can contribute to fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, hair thinning, and mood disturbances. At RewindMD, we offer comprehensive thyroid evaluation including TSH, Free T3, Free T4, reverse T3, and thyroid antibody testing, including TPO and thyroglobulin, to screen for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and other autoimmune thyroid conditions. For patients with identified thyroid concerns, Dr. Gillin may recommend targeted thyroid support through nutritional optimization, supplementation, or physician-guided thyroid hormone therapy when clinically appropriate. Proper thyroid management is often the missing piece that allows hormone therapy to work more effectively.
Why Is Gut Health Testing Important for Hormone Optimization?
The gut microbiome plays a critical role in hormone metabolism, detoxification, and absorption of nutrients needed for hormone production. An imbalanced gut can impair the body’s ability to regulate estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid hormones. At RewindMD, we utilize comprehensive gut health testing to evaluate the digestive system, including stool analysis for microbiome composition, markers of digestion and absorption, inflammation markers, and food sensitivity testing. These insights help Dr. Gillin identify root causes of hormonal symptoms that may not be addressed by hormone therapy alone. By healing the gut and addressing underlying digestive issues, patients may experience improved energy, better mood stability, more effective hormone therapy outcomes, and reduced systemic inflammation. Results vary, and recommendations are personalized after consultation and lab review.
