Irregular cycles may occur when hormonal communication between the brain, ovaries, thyroid, and adrenal glands becomes disrupted. Stress, nutritional deficiencies, metabolic issues, or hormone imbalances can all affect cycle timing and flow. A naturopathic evaluation can help identify the root cause and guide personalized care. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Matthew T. Reddy to explore your options.
Missed periods can result from chronic stress, thyroid dysfunction, PCOS, sudden weight changes, or nutritional depletion. Hormones rely on coordinated signaling throughout the body, and disruptions can pause ovulation and menstruation. A detailed assessment can uncover underlying contributors. Book an appointment with Dr. Matthew T. Reddy to investigate possible causes.
Yes. Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which can interfere with ovulation and disrupt hormone balance. When cortisol remains elevated, the body may delay or skip cycles entirely. Addressing stress physiology through lifestyle changes and naturopathic strategies may restore balance. Schedule a visit with Dr. Matthew T. Reddy to discuss supportive solutions.
Oligomenorrhea refers to menstrual cycles that occur infrequently, often with long gaps between periods. This pattern may develop due to hormonal imbalance, stress, thyroid issues, or metabolic conditions. Identifying the underlying cause helps guide appropriate care. Contact Dr. Matthew T. Reddy to learn how naturopathic medicine can help regulate cycles.
Amenorrhea describes the absence of menstruation for several months in someone who previously had regular cycles. It may be related to hormonal disruption, stress, PCOS, thyroid imbalance, or significant lifestyle changes. Proper evaluation is essential to determine the cause. Schedule an evaluation with Dr. Matthew T. Reddy for personalized guidance.
Heavy bleeding, also called menorrhagia, can occur when hormone levels become unbalanced or when estrogen dominance develops. Poor liver detoxification, stress, or metabolic factors may also contribute. Identifying these influences is key to managing symptoms. Consult Dr. Matthew T. Reddy for a naturopathic evaluation of heavy menstrual bleeding.
Painful menstruation, or dysmenorrhea, may occur due to inflammatory processes, hormone imbalances, or underlying reproductive conditions. Stress and nutritional deficiencies may also worsen symptoms. Naturopathic care focuses on identifying contributing factors and restoring balance. Book a consultation with Dr. Matthew T. Reddy to discuss treatment options.
Yes. Nutrient deficiencies—especially in magnesium, B vitamins, and essential fatty acids—can disrupt hormone production and metabolic balance. Stable blood sugar and adequate nutrient intake support endocrine health and cycle consistency. A naturopathic approach can help address deficiencies. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Matthew T. Reddy to review your health.
The thyroid regulates metabolism and interacts closely with reproductive hormones. When thyroid function becomes underactive or overactive, menstrual patterns may become irregular or absent. Identifying thyroid imbalances can clarify cycle disruptions. Dr. Matthew T. Reddy offers comprehensive evaluation to explore these hormonal relationships.
Exposure to heavy metals or environmental toxins may disrupt endocrine signaling and hormone metabolism. This can contribute to irregular cycles or hormonal imbalance. Functional testing can help identify toxic burden and guide detoxification strategies. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Matthew T. Reddy to explore personalized testing options.
