Fatigue, poor sleep, unexplained weight changes, mood swings, brain fog, low libido, and declining energy can affect nearly every part of your life. These symptoms are sometimes dismissed as normal aging. They may also be connected to changing hormone levels, metabolic health, sleep, nutrition, stress, medications, or other underlying factors.
At Balanced Body Health & Wellness, Sherri Griggs, APRN, helps women and men in Omaha better understand what their symptoms may be telling them. Her approach combines a detailed health history, appropriate laboratory testing, individualized treatment planning, and continued monitoring.
The goal is not to chase a single laboratory number. It is to develop a plan based on your symptoms, medical history, health goals, test results, and individual risk factors.

Bioidentical hormones are chemically structured to match hormones produced by the human body. Depending on a patient’s needs, hormone therapy may involve estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or another carefully selected treatment.
Not every person needs hormone therapy, and there is no single treatment plan that is right for everyone. Treatment decisions should be made after a qualified medical evaluation and a discussion of possible benefits, limitations, alternatives, and risks.
For women experiencing menopause symptoms, hormone therapy remains one of the most effective treatments for hot flashes, night sweats, and genitourinary symptoms. Treatment should be personalized and reevaluated periodically.
Your first step is a detailed conversation about your symptoms, medical history, medications, previous treatments, lifestyle, and personal goals.
Testing may help evaluate hormone levels and other health factors that could contribute to your symptoms.
Laboratory results are considered alongside your symptoms and medical history. A result that falls within a broad reference range does not automatically explain how a person feels.
Your plan may include hormone therapy, nutrition support, sleep strategies, metabolic evaluation, supplements, lifestyle changes, or referral for additional medical evaluation.
Hormone care is not a one-time transaction. Follow-up visits allow Sherri to review your response, assess side effects, monitor relevant health markers, and adjust the plan when appropriate.
Women may experience changing symptoms during perimenopause, menopause, and the years following menopause. Treatment may be considered for symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, disrupted sleep, vaginal discomfort, or other concerns affecting quality of life.
The FDA provides information about approved menopausal hormone therapies and encourages women to discuss benefits and risks with their healthcare provider.
Men with symptoms of possible testosterone deficiency need a proper medical evaluation before treatment is considered. The Endocrine Society recommends diagnosing hypogonadism only when a man has compatible symptoms and consistently low testosterone levels confirmed through appropriate testing.
Testosterone therapy should not be treated as a generic energy or anti-aging product. It requires appropriate screening, medical oversight, and follow-up.
No. The type, dose, delivery method, and monitoring plan should be selected according to the individual patient.
No. Similar symptoms can have many possible causes. A complete evaluation helps determine which options should be considered.
Response times vary according to the symptom, treatment, dose, individual biology, and other health factors.
No medical treatment is risk-free. Potential benefits and risks depend on the person, the hormone used, the route of administration, the dose, and relevant medical history.
