Filling the gaps in women’s hormonal healthcare: what Allara is doing differently

Summary

Allara providers are specialized in treating women’s hormonal health concerns. We can help patients manage conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, Hashimoto's, and more. We also support women who are experiencing unexplained symptoms, such as fatigue, weight changes, and painful periods by recommending comprehensive testing and modifying elements of their lifestyle and diet. Allara providers are dedicated to delivering compassionate, personalized care that’s tailored to each patient’s symptoms and goals.

Women’s hormones impact almost every system in their bodies, from their reproductive system, metabolism, to their sleep cycles, mental health, and more. However, hormonal health conditions are often treated in silos. A woman may see a reproductive endocrinologist to help manage her irregular periods, and a GI doctor to help them with digestive concerns. She may leave these appointments with conflicting treatment plans, and a disjointed view of symptoms that are actually connected. The experience can be discouraging for patients who are unclear on why they feel the way they do, and what steps they can take to start feeling better.

That’s why Allara brings together multiple specialists, including OBGYNs, endocrinologists, Nurse Practitioners, and Registered Dietitians, who can help women manage their hormonal conditions to provide comprehensive care. Each Allara patient is paired with a women’s health specialist and Registered Dietitian, who work to uncover potential causes of symptoms, create personalized treatment plans, and provide ongoing care.

Here’s what Allara can help with:

Managing chronic and hormonal health conditions

If you’ve been diagnosed with a hormonal health condition, we’re here to help you figure out how to manage your symptoms and start feeling your best. Allara providers help patients with conditions such as:

• PCOS
• Hashimoto’s
• Endometriosis
• Thyroid concerns
• Metabolic syndrome
• Hormonal imbalances
• Perimenopause/menopause

Allara providers are specialized in women’s hormonal health. Each medical and nutrition provider participates in onboarding that centers compassionate, personalized care. Our providers treat the whole person, not just the sum of parts - because hormonal concerns affect systems across the body. Their care is grounded in empathy, clarity, and purpose to help build connections with each patient.

‍

As an Allara patient, you’ll get paired with a dedicated care team to help you gain a better understanding of your health, and craft a treatment plan based on your needs. Your providers will build your care around your preferences, such as:

• Whether or not you’d like to take medications
• Visit cadence
• Your schedule, routines, and lifestyle

Using your lab results, treatment preferences, and goals, your Allara providers work to create a treatment plan that’s truly built around you.

Understanding the cause of symptoms

Experiencing new or unexplained symptoms can be overwhelming, but our care team is here to help. At Allara, our care team gets to work on uncovering causes of symptoms from the very first visit. Here are some of the symptoms that an Allara provider can you understand:

• Trouble sleeping
• Acne
• Weight changes
• Fatigue
• Facial hair growth
• Cravings
• Painful or irregular periods

Your Allara providers will work with you to understand what may be causing the symptoms, and help you create a treatment plan. Our providers order lab tests that go beyond the basics to gain insights on your health. Even lab work that comes back as “normal” can reveal information about your health, or rule out potential causes of symptoms.

Allara medical providers and Registered Dietitians look at the whole picture of your health: they’ll take into account your lab results, lifestyle, nutrition, and more to gain an understanding of what’s causing your symptoms and what you can do to start feeling better.
