Fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, poor sleep, low libido, mood changes and loss of strength can have many possible causes. Hormonal changes, metabolic health, sleep, nutrition, medications and other medical conditions can produce overlapping symptoms. Synchronicity Health evaluates the pattern behind your symptoms to determine what may need further investigation and which type of care may be appropriate.

A noticeable change in motivation, drive or general sense of well-being may occur alongside low testosterone, menopause, poor sleep, chronic stress, depression, medication effects and other health issues.
Hormonal and metabolic symptoms rarely occur in isolation. Someone experiencing weight gain may also have poor sleep, fatigue, brain fog and declining muscle mass. Treating each symptom separately can miss the larger pattern.
Synchronicity Health looks at your symptoms, health history, medications, lifestyle, body composition and appropriate laboratory testing to determine what may be contributing and where treatment should begin.
