The holiday season is here, Fresno! As we dive into winter and embrace the joy of Christmas, it’s easy to get swept up in the season’s magic. But while you’re decking the halls and sipping hot cocoa, there’s one thing that deserves a little extra attention this winter: your hormonal health.
Hormones might not be the first thing you think of during the holidays (probably somewhere after presents and holiday movies), but they play a huge role in how you feel—physically, emotionally, and even mentally. Whether it’s fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, or just feeling “off,” imbalanced hormones can make it tough to fully enjoy the season’s festivities. The good news? Fresno’s top clinic, Spring Endocrinology, specializes in helping both men and women restore balance and reclaim their health.
So, let’s unwrap the details on how hormone care can help you sleigh (see what we did there?) this winter season.
Hormones are the body’s chemical messengers, orchestrating everything from your energy levels to your mood, metabolism, and even your sleep patterns. For both men and women, hormonal imbalances can wreak havoc, especially during the hustle and bustle of winter.
Here’s how hormonal imbalances might show up:
When your hormones are out of balance, your body feels it—and so do you.
Winter can amplify hormonal challenges. Shorter days and colder weather often lead to less physical activity, increased stress, and a change in eating habits (hello, holiday treats). Add in the natural dip in vitamin D from limited sunlight, and it’s no surprise your body might feel out of sync.
For men, testosterone levels can fluctuate during the colder months, leading to fatigue or a drop in motivation. For women, changes in estrogen or progesterone can heighten stress and disrupt sleep patterns, especially if menopause or perimenopause is in the mix. These shifts can make the season feel more like a struggle than a celebration.
But don’t let winter win—there’s help available to get you back to feeling your best.
At Spring Endocrinology, we specialize in helping both men and women navigate the complexities of hormonal health. Whether you’re dealing with low testosterone, menopause symptoms, or general hormonal imbalances, our expert team, led by Colby Morton and Dr. Leila Chaychi, provides personalized care tailored to your unique needs.
For men, hormonal imbalances, especially low testosterone (Low T), can sneak up on you. Symptoms like reduced energy, weight gain, and mood changes aren’t just “part of getting older.” At Spring Endocrinology, we offer advanced testing and treatments to restore balance. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is one of the options we provide to help men regain energy, strength, and confidence.
Women’s hormonal health is a journey, and every stage of life brings its own challenges. From PMS to perimenopause and menopause, hormonal imbalances can cause everything from mood swings to weight changes. At Spring Endocrinology, we offer a variety of treatments, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and natural approaches to help regulate estrogen, progesterone, and other key hormones. Our goal is to help you feel like yourself again—no matter the season.
At Spring Endocrinology, our approach to hormonal health is rooted in personalized care. Here’s what you can expect when you work with us:
We don’t guess—we test. Using advanced diagnostics, we’ll measure your hormone levels to pinpoint exactly what’s going on. Whether it’s low testosterone, estrogen imbalances, or thyroid issues, we’ll identify the root cause.

Hormonal health isn’t a one-and-done deal. We’ll be with you every step of the way, making adjustments as needed to ensure your treatment continues to meet your needs.
While professional care is key, there are simple steps you can take at home to support your hormonal health this winter:
Even a brisk walk in the cooler weather can do wonders for your energy and mood. Plus, exercise helps regulate hormones like testosterone and estrogen.
The holidays can mess with your sleep schedule, but aiming for 7–9 hours a night can keep your hormones in check.
Between holiday shopping and family gatherings, stress levels can skyrocket. Practices like yoga, meditation, or simply taking time for yourself can help.
While it’s tempting to dive into holiday sweets, focus on balanced meals rich in whole foods. Healthy fats, lean protein, and plenty of vegetables are great for hormone health.
This Christmas, don’t let hormonal imbalances steal your holiday cheer. With expert care from Spring Endocrinology, you can take charge of your health and enjoy the season with renewed energy and balance.
