Endocrinology and Hormonal Health

Integrative Care for Hormonal Balance and Wellness

Hormonal health is fundamental to virtually every aspect of how the body functions — from energy and mood to metabolism, sleep, reproduction, and immune function. At Dr. Jeri Lynn Otterstrom’s practice in Eugene, OR, we provide comprehensive integrative endocrinology care designed to identify and address hormonal imbalances that are affecting your health and quality of life.

The endocrine system is a complex network of glands — including the thyroid, adrenal glands, ovaries, testes, pancreas, and pituitary gland — that produce and regulate hormones throughout the body. When any part of this system is out of balance, the effects can be widespread and significantly impact how a person feels physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Common signs of hormonal imbalance include fatigue, unexplained weight changes, mood swings, depression, anxiety, poor sleep, irregular menstrual cycles, low libido, hot flashes, brain fog, hair loss, and digestive issues. Many patients who experience these symptoms have been told their labs are “normal” despite continuing to feel unwell.

Dr. Otterstrom takes a functional medicine approach to hormonal health, evaluating not just whether hormone levels fall within standard reference ranges but whether they are optimized for each individual patient’s age, symptoms, and physiology. This nuanced approach allows for the identification of subclinical imbalances that conventional testing often misses.

Comprehensive hormone testing, including salivary, blood, and urine-based panels, provides detailed insight into hormone levels, metabolism, and the balance between different hormonal pathways. These results guide the development of a personalized treatment plan that may include bioidentical hormone support, herbal medicine, nutritional protocols, and lifestyle interventions.

Thyroid health is a particular focus of our hormonal care. Thyroid disorders — including hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and hyperthyroidism — are among the most commonly missed or undertreated conditions in conventional medicine. A thorough thyroid evaluation at our practice goes well beyond basic TSH testing to assess the full picture of thyroid function.

Adrenal health and cortisol balance are also central to our hormonal evaluations. Chronic stress, sleep deprivation, and inflammation can dysregulate the HPA axis and contribute to adrenal fatigue patterns that leave patients feeling exhausted, wired, and unable to recover.

If you are struggling with symptoms of hormonal imbalance in Eugene, OR, Dr. Jeri Lynn Otterstrom offers comprehensive integrative endocrinology care designed to help you restore balance, improve your energy, and feel like yourself again.
