Do you feel utterly exhausted but can’t seem to relax? Do you crash into bed at night only to lie there wide awake, mind spinning? Or maybe you wake up feeling like you’ve run a marathon before your day has even started. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and your hormones might be to blame.
At The How Clinic in Encinitas, we often hear patients describe this paradox: “I’m drained, but I can’t slow down.” This “wired but tired” feeling is one of the most common signs of hormonal dysregulation, and it’s something we specialize in helping our patients overcome.
Understanding Hormonal Imbalance and Fatigue
Hormones are your body’s messengers. When they’re in balance, you feel energized, focused, and emotionally steady. But when they’re off, even slightly, it can affect everything from your sleep and energy levels to your mood and metabolism.
Many people associate hormone issues only with major life transitions like menopause or aging, but hormone imbalances can happen at any age due to stress, lifestyle factors, poor diet, and even environmental exposures.
Some common signs that your hormones might be out of balance include:
- Feeling wired at night but sluggish in the morning
- Trouble falling or staying asleep
- Increased anxiety, mood swings, or irritability
- Brain fog or poor focus
- Weight gain (especially around the belly)
- Low libido or sexual dysfunction
- Poor stress tolerance or burnout
These symptoms don’t happen randomly; they’re signals that your internal systems are out of sync.
The Stress-Hormone Connection
Chronic stress can throw your entire hormone system into chaos. While cortisol (your main stress hormone) gets most of the blame, the effects ripple outward, impacting estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones, and insulin.
When your body is in a constant state of “fight or flight,” it diverts resources from long-term processes like hormone production and repair. Over time, this can lead to significant imbalances that leave you exhausted, emotionally drained, and disconnected from your usual vitality.
How The How Clinic Helps You Feel Like You Again
At The How Clinic, we take a whole-body approach to hormone optimization, stress recovery, and long-term energy renewal. Here’s how we help you restore balance and reclaim your vitality:
1. Personalized Hormone Support Plans
After an in-depth evaluation, we craft a personalized plan to restore your body’s natural hormonal rhythm. This may include:
- Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT)
- Herbal support and adaptogens to regulate stress responses
- Nutritional guidance to stabilize blood sugar and support hormone production
- Lifestyle and sleep strategies to reset your natural rhythm
We work with both men and women at various life stages, from busy professionals burning out to postmenopausal women or aging men seeking to reclaim energy and libido.
2. IV Nutrient Therapy for Energy and Balance
If your body is depleted, it may need more than oral supplements. Our IV therapy treatments are designed to quickly replenish key nutrients that support hormonal health and nervous system balance, including:
- Magnesium – to support relaxation and sleep
- B vitamins – essential for hormone production and energy
- Vitamin C – a crucial antioxidant for stress recovery
- Glutathione – for detoxification and cellular repair
These nutrient infusions can help you feel more centered, energized, and clear-headed—even after years of chronic fatigue.
3. Stress Recovery & Nervous System Reset
Your nervous system plays a critical role in hormonal balance. If your body is stuck in stress mode, no amount of hormones or supplements will fully work. That’s why we guide you through:
- Mind-body techniques like breathwork, meditation, and movement
- Recovery-based fitness routines
- Sleep optimization strategies
- Education on how to support your nervous system daily
Our goal is not just to treat symptoms, but to help you become more stress-resilient and hormonally balanced for the long haul.
