Women's Hormonal Health & Functional Medicine
Balance Your Hormones. Restore Your Vitality.
Dr. Teresa Rispoli uses advanced functional testing and personalized protocols to identify and correct the root causes of hormonal imbalance — from perimenopause and thyroid dysfunction to adrenal fatigue and PCOS.
A Root-Cause Approach
Your Hormones Are a Symptom — Not the Problem
Conventional medicine often treats women's hormonal symptoms with birth control pills, antidepressants, or synthetic hormone replacement — medications that mask symptoms without addressing why hormones became imbalanced in the first place. Many women are told their labs are 'normal' while still feeling exhausted, anxious, and unwell.
Dr. Teresa Rispoli takes a comprehensive functional medicine approach to women's health. Using advanced hormone panels, gut testing, and nutritional analysis, she identifies the specific drivers of your hormonal dysfunction — whether that's gut dysbiosis, adrenal burnout, thyroid autoimmunity, nutrient deficiencies, or estrogen metabolism issues — and builds a personalized protocol to correct them naturally.

Conditions We Address
Women's Health Conditions Dr. Rispoli Treats
Perimenopause & Menopause
Hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, sleep disruption, weight gain, and brain fog addressed through hormone balancing, adrenal support, and personalized HRT guidance.
Thyroid Dysfunction
Hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and subclinical thyroid imbalances causing fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, and depression — evaluated with a full thyroid panel beyond TSH alone.
Adrenal Fatigue & HPA Dysregulation
Chronic stress-driven cortisol dysregulation causing exhaustion, anxiety, poor sleep, sugar cravings, and immune suppression — assessed through 4-point salivary cortisol testing.
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)
Insulin resistance, androgen excess, irregular cycles, acne, and weight gain addressed through blood sugar regulation, gut healing, and hormone rebalancing.
Estrogen Dominance
Excess estrogen relative to progesterone causing heavy periods, PMS, fibroids, breast tenderness, and mood instability — corrected through liver support, gut healing, and dietary modification.
PMS & Menstrual Irregularities
Painful, irregular, or heavy periods driven by prostaglandin imbalance, nutrient deficiencies, and gut inflammation — addressed through targeted nutritional and hormonal protocols.
Low Libido & Sexual Health
Declining testosterone, estrogen imbalance, adrenal dysfunction, and relationship stress all contribute to low libido — evaluated and addressed comprehensively.
Mood, Anxiety & Brain Fog
Hormonal fluctuations, gut-brain axis dysfunction, and nutrient deficiencies driving anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline — identified through comprehensive functional testing.

Advanced Functional Testing
We Look Beyond Standard Labs
Standard hormone panels often only measure TSH and basic estrogen — missing the full picture of how hormones are produced, transported, metabolized, and excreted. Dr. Rispoli uses comprehensive functional panels that reveal the complete hormonal landscape and its upstream drivers.
Comprehensive Thyroid Panel
TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, TPO antibodies, and TgAb — the full picture of thyroid function and autoimmunity that standard TSH-only testing misses.
DUTCH Complete Hormone Test
Dried urine testing for comprehensive sex hormones, adrenal hormones, cortisol rhythm, and estrogen metabolites — the gold standard for functional hormone assessment.
4-Point Salivary Cortisol
Measures cortisol at four points throughout the day to map the full adrenal rhythm and identify HPA axis dysregulation, burnout, or hyperactivation.
Comprehensive Metabolic & Nutrient Panel
Evaluates blood sugar regulation, insulin resistance, key nutrient levels (vitamin D, B12, iron, magnesium, zinc) that directly drive hormonal function.
96-Panel Food Sensitivity Test
IgG and IgA immune reactivity to 96 foods — identifying dietary triggers driving gut inflammation, estrogen dominance, and hormonal disruption.
Comprehensive Stool Analysis
Gut microbiome assessment including estrobolome bacteria that regulate estrogen metabolism and recycling — a key driver of estrogen dominance and hormonal imbalance.

Patient Results
Real Women, Real Results
These are real outcomes from Dr. Rispoli's functional women's health programs.
"I had been to four doctors about my fatigue, weight gain, and hair loss. Everyone said my labs were normal. Dr. Rispoli ran a full thyroid panel and found Hashimoto's and low Free T3 that my other doctors completely missed. After 6 months on her protocol I feel like myself again."
Jennifer M.
Hashimoto's & thyroid dysfunction resolved
"Perimenopause hit me like a freight train — hot flashes every hour, no sleep, and 20 pounds I couldn't lose no matter what I did. Dr. Rispoli balanced my hormones naturally and within 3 months my hot flashes were gone and I'd lost 14 pounds."
Diane K.
Perimenopause symptoms resolved, 14 lbs lost
"I was on antidepressants for 3 years for anxiety and mood swings that turned out to be estrogen dominance and adrenal burnout. Dr. Rispoli found the real cause, fixed it, and I was able to taper off my medication entirely with my psychiatrist's support."
Laura S.
Off antidepressants after addressing root cause
"My PCOS had me on birth control for 10 years just to regulate my cycle. Dr. Rispoli addressed my insulin resistance and gut health and my cycles normalized on their own within 4 months. I finally feel in control of my own body."
