Women's hormones
Bioidentical hormone therapy, perimenopause and menopause care in Lafayette, Indiana — tested before it is treated.
Somewhere in the forties, the cycle changes, sleep breaks, the weight redistributes, the temperature control goes, and the mood follows. Most women are told this is normal and offered an antidepressant.
It is common. That is not the same as untreatable.
Hormone therapy is not appropriate for everyone, and the decision deserves a real conversation about your history — including breast cancer risk, clotting history and cardiovascular risk. What it does not deserve is a reflexive no.
Dr. Turner has written about each of these — his own pages, restored from the practice's earlier site.

Hormone therapy is not right for everyone. That is a reason to discuss it, not to dismiss it.
The decision depends on your history — breast cancer risk, clotting history, cardiovascular risk — and it deserves a proper conversation rather than a policy.
Thyroid disease imitates perimenopause almost exactly, so it gets excluded first. Levels also swing week to week in perimenopause, which is why a single draw can mislead.

Functional medicine isn't about trading one medication for another. It is a different order of operations. We measure first, then we treat exactly what the measurements show.
We start with a review of your health history. We examine your symptoms, timeline, nutrition, sleep patterns, stress, medications and family history. This detailed review allows our providers to identify underlying patterns of health imbalances that are frequently missed in traditional, rushed medical appointments.
Standard thyroid screening often stops at TSH, and traditional hormone panels rarely look at the whole picture. By evaluating thyroid antibodies, free hormones, nutrient status, and key inflammatory and metabolic markers, we get a complete view of your biology. A treatment plan that is built on real, comprehensive data.
We explain your results, not just file them away. You will walk away knowing exactly what is out of range, what it means for your body, what we are going to do about it, and a timeline for your recovery.
We don't guess—we measure. If your numbers have improved and you feel better, we hold. If your labs remain unchanged, we re-evaluate and adjust. Treating symptoms alone without checking the data is exactly how people end up on therapies they don't need.
If none of that sounds like you, call anyway — we will tell you honestly whether this is the right service.
The office is open Monday to Thursday. Send this and someone will call you back — a sentence about what is going on is enough.
A first visit covers your history, your risk factors and what is worth testing.
