Sex hormones are that are involved in the regulation of sexual development and reproduction. The primary sex hormones are estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Men and women have all of these, just in different amounts and ratios...
When men and women have low energy caused by an imbalance in their sex hormones, it is usually from different hormones. For men, it is usually due to a testosterone deficiency. For women, it is usually due to estrogen and/or progesterone imbalances.
The symptoms of menopause are no joke. They are incredibly uncomfortable and can change the quality of your life significantly. When a woman comes to me with menopausal symptoms, she is usually pretty desperate for relief. I use both natural and pharmaceutical therapies to get her that relief.
I am a big believer in natural medicine. It can be very powerful and work very well. I prefer to use it as long as the natural treatment is safe and strong. Unfortunately, when treating low thyroid, we usually need both the natural and the prescription treatments. In college, I learned from playing the card game euchre not to “send a boy to do a man’s job.” In medicine, this means using the treatment that you know will work. If I think a natural treatment will work, but I know that a medication will work, I should use the medication as long as there are no significant side effects. This is because I want to make sure you get results right away so that you can get your life back
Thyroid disease is one of the most common health problems we face today. The majority of people with thyroid dysfunction have hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism (“hypo” means low) is a condition where the amount of thyroid hormone in your body is less than what is needed for optimal function. According to the American Thyroid Association, more than 12 percent of the US population will develop a thyroid condition during their lifetimes, and more than half will be unaware that they have a problem. Women are five to eight times as likely as men to develop thyroid problems.
Last week, I went over the recommended supplements to treat Adrenal Fatigue. This week I’ll go over adrenal recommendations as well as a plan to reduce stressors.
Treating the physical symptoms is only the first step. Once you start to feel better, it’s important to begin addressing the causes of the problem: the sources of stress that compromised your adrenals in the first place.
Last week we discussed the main symptoms as well as the causes of adrenal fatigue. This week, I will focus on testing and supplement options for treatment.
If you have most of the symptoms listed last week, you probably have adrenal fatigue. However, how do we test for adrenal dysfunction?
This week I will discuss how adrenal fatigue is a primary cause of chronic fatigue.
It's estimated that up to 80% of adults experience adrenal fatigue during their lifetimes, yet it remains one of the most under-diagnosed illnesses in the United States. Conventional medicine does not yet recognize adrenal fatigue as a distinct syndrome
Food allergies can cause almost any symptom the body can manifest, including low energy. The gastrointestinal tract maintains a delicate balance of good bacteria, specialized immune cells, and various neurological and hormonal activities. In fact, 80% of your immune system resides in your gut, so anything you put in your mouth can trigger a reaction. Once your digestive system detects what it considers a “foreign particle,” your immune system reacts, and the inflammation that follows creates pain and dysfunction.
Food is a touchy subject, especially if you’re not feeling well. We have a lot of emotional attachments to it, and it can give us joy at times when nothing else can. However, food allergies play a significant role as a cause and contributor to fatigue and, as a doctor, I have seen amazing improvements in the health of my patients when they change their food choices.
Hi! I'm Evan H. Hirsch, the EnergyMD
After resolving my own chronic fatigue (ME/CFS), and 10+ years of creating and testing protocols to resolve chronic fatigue and ME/CFS, I've learned what works (and what doesn't). And the same goes for Long Covid.
And believe it or not, it's hardly ever about just finding the right treatment - it's about finding the causes that you have, matching them up to the right treatment, and choosing a guide to help you navigate the bumps along the way to symptom resolution.
I would like to be your guide. People in our programs have described me as "thorough", "a good listener", "empathic", "compassionate", "responsive", and "accessible". I am committed to showing up for you.
Beyond my professional pursuits, I love to sing musicals, learn new languages, dance hip-hop, and travel. These passions, along with spending time with my wife and daughter, bring joy and balance to my life.
So if you're ready to figure out your causes and fix them with my help, click on the button below and let's get started!

"MY ENERGY IS MUCH BETTER, I FEEL LIKE WORKING OUT AGAIN"
"I was tired. I had really poor quality sleep. I had very intense joint pain everywhere. It was in my neck, my knees, and my lower back. I had a lot of muscle cramps and random wrist pain and other random pains all over the place. ... now I have no more palpitations, insomnia, anxiety attacks or muscle cramps...Energy is much better and I sleep like a baby. My neck feels great, my knees feel great. I'm able to hike and run without problems now. I feel like working out again, which makes me happy."
Marian
"I HAVE MORE ENERGY AND A MORE POSITIVE OUTLOOK, I FEEL MORE RESILIENT"
"I felt tired a lot of the time and had a tired achy cloud hanging over me on a daily basis... I was having trouble sleeping. I might get one or two hours of sleep (per night) always waking very tired. Then I started Evan Hirsch’s program...(now) I awake refreshed in the morning. I'm ready to face my day. I have the energy and a more positive outlook as well. I feel more resilient. I sleep better at night and I'm having regular sleep cycles. I have not had a single allergy event since I started the EnergyMD Program with Evan Hirsch."
Kathy
"YOUR PROGRAM IS TREATING THE CAUSES AND THEY'RE GOING AWAY!"
"I had 15-20 years of struggles.... extremely low energy that would take me days to recover from... now energy is much better.....the testing that you recommended provided information that nobody else had given me.. I just returned from my trip to Italy and hiking up some of those hills. I felt like I was in much better shape even than some of my younger colleagues were!"
David
"NOW I GO FOR WALKS ALMOST EVERYDAY"
"I was tired a lot...but now I've gone walking up to seven miles in a day. Now I can do more and I have an attitude of wanting to do more. Since beginning the EnergyMD Program, I would say my energy is 8 out of 10 (10 is ideal). I'm also sleeping like a baby.
Patsy
"NOW ON A DAILY BASIS I WOULD SAY (MY ENERGY) IS A 10."
"When I first started the EnergyMD program, my energy level was a 2-3/10. I was depressed and not feeling well at all. It had been going on for 15 years and was worse the last 4 years. I had seen multiple doctors without improvement. My energy is now an 9/10! I'm so impressed that through the program, I was able to understand what was going wrong in my body and able to fix it. I am so grateful.
Christy
"I CAN DO THINGS NOW THAT I COULDN'T DO BEFORE"
"I had a lot of fatigue. I was tired. I would come home from work and lay down, then get up and have dinner, then go back to bed. I was running a business with 30 employees and couldn't handle the stress. I had seen doctors and business coaches, but nothing helped. My energy was a 3/10. Since the EnergyMD Program, my energy is much better. I can handle stress at work. I can enjoy the time outside of work with my kids. My energy is now a 9/10.

“When I first started Evan’s program I had many undiagnosed symptoms that mainstream medicine was calling Rheumatoid Arthritis.
My energy was 1/10 (with 10 being ideal energy). I would work all week and sleep all weekend. I couldn’t walk without a walker or a cane, I couldn’t carry my own purse, I was in chronic pain and it took me 40 mins to get out of bed in the morning. Evan’s program found infections and heavy metals at the root of my problems.
Slowly and carefully I removed these causes. I am single and was working a high stress job, so needed to continue working while I was going through treatment. The treatment was supportive and enabled me to work and get better.
I now have energy of 7-8/10 everyday and my energy doesn’t crash at 3pm anymore. I have no more pain and I’m actually able to workout!
I was even able to take on a new job that is more demanding and more lucrative. My life is night and day compared with how I was before I began Evan’s program.
I really like that it uses natural treatments primarily. Thank you Evan for giving me my life back!”

“When I first joined the program, my sleep was awful and I had chronic fatigue! I was only sleeping a few hours per night. I had fatigue, anxiety and severe hopelessness. I didn’t think I was ever going to get better. I had lots of weird symptoms – chest pain, sweating, stomach issues, tightness in the stomach, no appetite (I had lost 45 lbs), numbness and hot/cold in both feet and hands. The program found the causes! I found that I had several infections (including bartonella and babesia), heavy metals, poor adrenal and sex hormone function.
Now, my life is so much better! 180 degree difference. I am sleeping through the night. I have all the energy I want during the day and my appetite is back. I am so much better and without drugs! Socially I am also doing much better. When I didn’t feel well, I isolated myself. Now, I’m more involved with my family, I can travel again and my quality of life is much, much better. It’s a blessing to wake up every day and think ‘I feel good!’ instead of feeling hopeless. I would highly encourage everyone with fatigue (and my associated symptoms above) to join one of Evan's programs. Evan is getting at the causes instead of putting a band aid on it. He took away the hopelessness and gave me so much gratitude!”

"My energy was a 3/10 when I started Evan Hirsch’s program. Now it is an 8/10. I have doubled the number of clients that I'm able to see. I can manage a complicated office practice. I think the testing for heavy metals and molds (mycotoxins) were really helpful because they were so concrete. But the best thing I would say of working with you was that I knew that you really understood what it was like to have fatigue. I knew I could be completely honest and tell you when I was struggling, if I had a problem finding words, and you were very, very tolerant and it was a normal thing. I was not a strange bird. I was someone who just had an illness. So that was very helpful.
