Mood Swings / Anxiety → Hormone + Nervous System Balancing

Problem: Mood swings, hormone fluctuation, anxiety, depression, low motivation. Solution: Hormone Balancing.

Mood Swings Anxiety Depression Treatment with Hormone Balancing at Pollard Preventative in Los Gatos

Problem: Mood Swings

If you feel like your emotions flip a switch without warning — irritability one minute, anxiety the next, and then a sudden wave of sadness — it’s not “all in your head.”

For women, hormone fluctuations are one of the most common (and commonly overlooked) causes of mood instability. When estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones, and cortisol shift, they directly affect neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA — the chemicals that regulate mood, calmness, focus, and emotional resilience.

This is why you may notice:

  • rising anxiety or edginess
  • irritability and feeling overwhelmed
  • emotional sensitivity
  • difficulty calming down
  • low motivation
  • feeling “not like myself”

Especially during PMS, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, andropause, or times of stress or poor sleep.

You’re not “too emotional.” Your biochemistry is calling for support.

Solution: Hormone + Nervous System Balancing


At Pollard Preventative, we address the hormonal and physiological patterns that drive mood swings and anxiety — without playing in the psychiatric space.

Our approach focuses on the systems we can safely and powerfully optimize:

  • Bioidentical hormone balancing to stabilize estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone
  • Thyroid and adrenal evaluation (major players in anxiety and mood)
  • Cortisol balancing for stress resilience
  • Cycle mapping to identify mood patterns linked to hormone shifts
  • Peptides that support nervous system regulation, sleep, and cellular repair
  • Nutrient optimization for neurotransmitter support

The goal is simple:

More stability. Less irritability. More calm. More control.
A steadier emotional landscape — powered by real physiology.

How Hormone Balancing Works:

Your hormone journey at Pollard Preventative is personal, precise, and guided by a physician who specializes in women’s health.

  • Comprehensive Hormone & Nervous System Labs: We measure estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid function, cortisol patterns, blood sugar regulation, inflammation, and key nutrients tied to mood and emotional regulation.
  • Hormone Optimization: Balanced hormones support serotonin, dopamine, and GABA — the neurotransmitters that help you feel grounded, clear, and emotionally steady. Even small improvements can bring big changes in mood.
  • Nervous System Support: Peptides, sleep optimization, adrenal support, and targeted nutrients help regulate the stress response so your system feels calm instead of reactive.
  • Cycle-Based Treatment Planning: Timing matters. We identify when mood symptoms spike (PMS, ovulation, perimenopause transitions) and treat accordingly.
  • Continuous Monitoring: You’ll have ongoing evaluations to ensure your plan remains effective as your body adapts and strengthens.

The result?

You feel balanced and like YOU again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — hormones have a direct and powerful influence on how your brain regulates mood, stress, and emotional stability. Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones, and cortisol all interact with key neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA, which control calmness, focus, motivation, emotional resilience and sleep.

When these hormones dip, spike, or fall out of balance — during PMS, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, or high-stress periods — the brain feels it immediately. That’s why you might experience irritability, anxiety, overwhelm, low motivation, or mood swings that seem to appear out of nowhere.

In short:
Hormones set the tone. Neurotransmitters carry the message.
When hormones wobble, emotions do, too.

Balancing hormones often leads to steadier moods, less anxiety, better sleep, and a calmer, more grounded emotional baseline — because we’re supporting the actual chemistry behind your feelings, not just the symptoms.

Great — treatment can complement your existing plan. We focus solely on hormonal and physiological contributors to mood changes, not psychiatric diagnosis or medication management.

Not necessarily. Some women need short-term hormone support; others benefit longer-term depending on their stage of life. Your plan is individual to you, your goals and your needs.

Many women notice more consistent moods, less irritability, and better stress tolerance within a few weeks, with steady improvements as hormones rebalance.
