Gentle, Whole-Person Support for Hormonal Health in Minneapolis
🌿 When Hormones & Thyroid Feel Out of Control, You’re Not Alone.
You don’t have to push through mood swings, fatigue, or cycle changes alone. Our integrative care team helps you feel seen, supported, and resourced — so you can find balance again.
Feeling Bad is Not Normal. We Can Help.
It’s not normal to feel exhausted, foggy, moody, or out of rhythm day after day — yet so many women are told that what they’re experiencing is “just stress,” “just aging,” or that their labs look “normal.” Deep down, you know something isn’t right.
Thyroid dysfunction, PMS/PMDD, perimenopause, or adrenal fatigue can make you feel like a stranger in your own body. One day you’re wired, the next you’re wiped out. Moods swing, weight shifts without explanation, and brain fog makes even simple tasks harder. When hormones are chaotic, everything feels chaotic.
At Stockheart, we believe your symptoms are signals worth listening to. Our care focuses on uncovering root causes and restoring balance — so you can feel like yourself again.
🎁 The Gentle Guide
7 Natural Ways to Reduce Hormone Chaos
1. Balance Your Blood Sugar
Every hormone system is influenced by glucose swings. Stabilize by pairing protein + healthy fats with every meal and avoiding “naked carbs” (like plain crackers or juice).
2. Support Your Adrenals with Rest
Adrenal fatigue is often overlooked. Try a daily “rest break” — 10 minutes of quiet breathing, gentle stretching, or stepping outside. Rest is not a luxury; it’s medicine.
3. Try Acupressure for Cycle Symptoms
Gentle pressure on points like SP6 (3 finger widths above the ankle bone) can ease cramps, bloating, and mood swings. (Tip: Press gently for 1–2 minutes while breathing slowly.)
4. Eat Foods That Love Your Thyroid
Seaweed, Brazil nuts, and pumpkin seeds provide iodine, selenium, and zinc — key nutrients for thyroid hormone production.
5. Reduce Endocrine Disruptors
Plastics, fragrances, and pesticides can interfere with estrogen, thyroid, and cortisol. Switch to glass storage, fragrance-free products, and wash produce thoroughly.
6. Move Gently, Not Excessively
Excessive cardio can stress the adrenals and disrupt cycles. Instead, choose strength training, walking, yoga, or qigong — movement that restores energy instead of draining it.
7. Track Your Patterns
Your body is speaking. Use a cycle tracker or journal to notice sleep, mood, energy, and symptoms. Patterns help uncover root causes and empower you in conversations with providers.
Why Gentle Works
Your hormones don’t respond well to pushing harder — they respond to safety, rhythm, and nourishment. That’s why at Stockheart we focus on whole-person, nervous-system aware care that addresses the physical, emotional, and environmental layers of imbalance.

Why Hormone Health Matters
One in eight women will experience a thyroid disorder in her lifetime — a rate 5–8 times higher than men. Nearly 80% of women will face reproductive hormone imbalance at some point, including PMS/PMDD, perimenopause, or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Yet these conditions are still underdiagnosed, misunderstood, or treated only at the surface level.
Many of our patients come in with:
💤 Fatigue that lingers even after rest
🌪 Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability that feel out of proportion
🌫 Brain fog and memory issues that disrupt daily life
📉 Irregular cycles — painful periods, heavy bleeding, or skipped months
🔥 Hot flashes, night sweats, or sleep disruption during perimenopause
⚖️ Weight changes that don’t respond to diet or exercise
🌸 Fertility struggles or miscarriage loss
At Stockheart Whole Health in Minneapolis, we take a different approach. Using functional medicine labs, acupuncture, nutrition, and nervous-system care, we look deeper to uncover the root causes of thyroid and hormone issues. Our goal is simple: to help you feel like yourself again — balanced, supported, and resourced.
✨ If you’ve been searching for natural thyroid or hormone support in Minnesota, you’re not alone. Gentle, whole-person care is here for you.

Why This Happens
Hormones are your body’s messengers. They influence energy, metabolism, mood, sleep, and fertility. When they’re out of balance, the effects ripple through every system. Here are some of the most common root causes we see:
🧠 Thyroid Function Changes — Even “borderline” thyroid levels can leave you tired, foggy, or struggling with weight regulation.
🔥 Adrenal Stress & Cortisol Imbalance — Chronic stress keeps your body stuck in fight-or-flight, throwing off sleep, energy, and cycle rhythms.
🌸 Estrogen & Progesterone Shifts — PMS, PMDD, and perimenopause often result from hormone ratios changing, not just from age or stress.
🌿 Nutrient Gaps & Gut Health — Low iron, selenium, iodine, or gut inflammation can quietly disrupt hormone pathways.
💨 Environmental Triggers — Endocrine disruptors from plastics, fragrances, and pesticides can interfere with thyroid and reproductive health.
⚡ Nervous System Overload — When your system is constantly “on,” every hormone is affected — making your body feel unsafe and out of rhythm.
✨ The takeaway: These symptoms are not random, and they’re not “just in your head.” They’re signals your body is asking for balance and deeper support.
How We can Help
At Stockheart, we combine whole-person, trauma-informed care with integrative tools that address both root causes and day-to-day relief. Depending on your needs, your care plan may include:
-
Uncover hidden imbalances and root causes that standard tests often miss.
-
Regulate cycles, reduce pain, and calm the nervous system.
-
Release stored tension and restore balance without forceful adjustments.
-
Stabilize energy, reduce inflammation, and support hormone balance.
-
Practical mind-body tools for resilience and calm.
-
Compassionate support for menstrual health, fertility, perimenopause, and thyroid function.
Why Our Approach Works
Most clinics treat symptoms in isolation. We connect the dots — because your thyroid, hormones, stress, sleep, and emotional wellbeing all interact. By supporting the nervous system and addressing root causes, we create a care plan that’s safe, sustainable, and truly personalized.
““What stood out most was how they looked at the whole picture — my thyroid, hormones, stress, even my sleep. For the first time, I felt like someone was connecting the dots instead of treating me in pieces.”
”
Julie, Minneapolis
"After two years of struggling with irregular cycles and feeling hopeless about conceiving, I came to Stockheart. Within months, I not only had more energy and less pain, but I became pregnant naturally. The support I felt here was unlike anywhere else — I was never rushed, always heard, and given tools that worked."
Paula, St. Louis Park
"For the first time, someone looked at my thyroid, my hormones, and my stress all together. I finally feel like myself again."

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
We know choosing the right kind of support can feel overwhelming. These are some of the most common questions we hear from women in Minneapolis who are navigating thyroid, hormone, or fertility challenges.
-
Yes. We regularly support patients with Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and subclinical thyroid issues. Even if your labs are “normal,” we help uncover hidden imbalances and address root causes with functional medicine, nutrition, acupuncture, and nervous system support.
-
Absolutely. Hormonal shifts can cause painful cycles, mood changes, brain fog, and sleep disruption. We use acupuncture, nutrition, and gentle lifestyle tools to ease symptoms and bring your system back into balance.
-
We take a whole-person fertility approach, supporting both partners when needed. Our focus includes cycle tracking, functional medicine labs, acupuncture, stress balance, and nutrition. Many patients find this helps create the best possible foundation for conception and pregnancy.
-
We complement, rather than replace, traditional medical care. Where conventional medicine often focuses on lab results and medication, we look at the whole picture — stress, nutrition, sleep, environment, and nervous system patterns — to help you feel better, not just “in range.”
-
No. Your first visit is a 90-minute consult, and from there we create a personalized plan that fits your needs and budget. Some patients start with just a few sessions; others choose ongoing care. We’ll never pressure you into something that doesn’t feel right.
-
We’ve chosen to remain out-of-network so we can spend the time you truly deserve — instead of being rushed by insurance limits. We do our best to keep rates affordable and accessible:
✅ HSA/FSA funds are welcome
✅ Memberships and care bundles are available
✅ Sliding scale is offered for eligible clients
You may also submit receipts to your insurance company to inquire about out-of-network reimbursement.
-
A: Not necessarily. If you already have imaging, bring it with you — it can be helpful context. But we don’t require imaging before beginning care. If we believe imaging would change your treatment plan or reveal important details, we’ll guide you to the right provider to get it done.
-
A: Absolutely. All our providers are well educated in providing safe and effective care for every body, We specialize in gentle, low-force chiropractic techniques that are safe for fragile bones and sensitive bodies. You’ll never experience high-pressure or forceful adjustments here — instead, we use precise, conservative methods to keep you safe while helping ease pain and improve function.
-
A: Your auto insurance will cover some care if your issue is related to an accident. Otherwise, we have made the decision to remain out of insurance networks so we have the freedom to provide the level of care we feel you deserve. You can inquire with your health insurance plan to learn about out-of-network coverage. We accept HSA/FSA cards, offer memberships and bundles, and provide sliding scale options when appropriate. Holistic pain care shouldn’t be out of reach, and we work to make our services accessible.
"After years of bouncing between doctors and being told everything looked normal, I was exhausted and discouraged. Having someone spend 90 minutes truly listening, connecting the dots, and giving me a clear plan was life-changing. It was the best investment I’ve ever made in my health." — Tasha, Minneapolis

The Missing Pieces in Traditional Treatment
Your mainstream medical providers are brilliant. They have the best of intentions. But the system isn’t designed to support complex conditions like yours and not all medical providers are aware of options like the ones offered at Stockheart.
And most importantly, conventional approaches often focus on symptom suppression rather than root cause healing:
❌ Band-aid medications that may help temporarily but don't address underlying dysfunction
❌ "It's all in your head" dismissal when tests come back "normal"
❌ One-size-fits-all protocols that don't account for your unique case or multiple paradigms of healing
❌ Rushed appointments that don't allow time to understand your full experience
At Stockheart, we take a different approach. We spend time understanding your unique symptom pattern, your health history, and what special combination of care will facilitate your body’s ability to heal.
🌿 Healthcare Navigation:
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
Trying to find your way through today’s healthcare system can feel overwhelming. Specialists don’t always talk to each other, options feel scattered, and the burden of coordinating care too often falls on you.
At Stockheart, we believe healing shouldn’t be another full-time job. We help you:
🧭 Understand and prioritize your options — which treatments make the most sense right now, and what can wait.
🌐 Incorporate the full spectrum of healing tools — from chiropractic, acupuncture, and functional medicine to specialists, imaging, or lab testing when needed.
💸 Consider financial realities — we know resources aren’t unlimited, so we help you focus on the options that bring the most value and impact.
🤝 Bridge communication gaps — translating medical jargon, clarifying next steps, and coordinating with other providers when possible.
The result? A clearer path forward. Less stress. And the confidence that you’re making the right decisions for your body, your life, and your resources.

Your Journey to Feeling Better
We know you may have tried many things before—physical therapy, medications, injections, or even surgery consults. Our approach is different because it’s whole-person, conservative, and trauma-informed:
🤝 Thorough Initial Assessment (90 minutes)
We take the time to listen. You’ll share your full story, health history, and what has (or hasn’t) worked before.
🔍 Root Cause + Pain Pattern Investigation
Through careful physical evaluation and functional medicine testing when needed, we identify the deeper drivers—whether arthritis, disc changes, inflammation, or nervous system overload.
🎯 Personalized, Gentle Care Plan
No one-size-fits-all. Your plan may include chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, or nutritional support—always adapted to your body’s sensitivities.
📖 Education & Empowerment
We explain what your diagnosis means in plain language, so you feel clear, not confused. Our goal is to help you manage pain and improve quality of life—even with ongoing conditions like degenerative joint disease or fibromyalgia.
📈 Ongoing Support & Adjustment
Your body changes over time, and so does your care. We regularly check in, adapt treatments, and celebrate progress with you.
Your healing path is unique, and it doesn’t have to be rushed. We’re here to support you, every step of the way.
Take the Next Step
You don’t have to live at the mercy of unpredictable symptoms.
At Stockheart Whole Health, we offer comprehensive 90-minute assessments where we take time to hear your full story and create a plan that works for your body.
“I’ve never felt so seen by a healthcare team. They didn’t just talk about my lab results — they asked about my life, my stress, and how my symptoms were impacting me. That compassion made all the difference.”
We specialize in treating complex, sensitive, often-overlooked bodies. And we know healing happens best at your own pace.
“I had accepted that I would always feel exhausted and foggy. Within a few months, my cycles were steadier, my energy returned, and I finally feel like myself again.”
