Hormone Optimization Protocol at BODYWELLE

BY ALONSO MARTIN MD

Hormones are your body’s internal messengers—essential to everything from energy, metabolism, libido and muscle growth to mood and sleep. But when hormone levels fall out of balance, the effects can ripple through nearly every system in the body. Symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, anxiety, hot flashes, and low sex drive may all point to a deeper hormonal imbalance.

At BODYWELLE in Miami Beach, Dr. Alonso Martin offers personalized Hormone Optimization Protocols designed to restore balance and help you feel like yourself again. Whether you’re dealing with age-related hormone decline, chronic stress, or metabolic dysfunction, Dr. Martin uses advanced testing and evidence-based treatments to rebalance your system and support long-term health.

What Is a Hormone Optimization Protocol?

Balancing Hormones, the Smart Way

A Hormone Optimization Protocol is a customized treatment plan that identifies and corrects hormonal imbalances using a combination of functional lab testing, lifestyle medicine, and targeted therapies. These protocols are not one-size-fits-all. They’re designed to meet your body’s specific needs based on how your hormones interact with one another and with the rest of your health markers.

Dr. Martin’s approach combines science-backed therapies with a focus on root-cause resolution—going beyond symptom suppression to help patients feel better, function better, and age more gracefully.

Hormones Commonly Addressed

Key Hormones We Target

Dr. Martin’s protocols target a range of hormones, including:

Testosterone

Supports energy, muscle mass, mood, and libido.

Estrogen and Progesterone

Key for menstrual health, bone density, skin elasticity, and brain function.

Thyroid Hormones
(T3, T4, TSH)

Regulate metabolism, temperature control, and energy levels.

Cortisol

The body’s main stress hormone, involved in sleep-wake cycles and inflammation.

DHEA

An adrenal hormone that plays a role in aging, immunity, and mood.

Insulin

Regulates blood sugar and plays a central role in metabolic health.

Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance

Signs Something Feels Off

Hormonal imbalances don’t always show up in obvious ways. You might feel “off” but can’t pinpoint why. Common symptoms include:

Even if your labs come back “normal,” subtle imbalances or poor hormone conversion can lead to significant symptoms. That’s why Dr. Martin relies on functional testing that goes beyond traditional blood panels.

How Hormone Testing Works at BODYWELLE

A Deeper Look at Your Hormones

Dr. Martin starts with a comprehensive consultation and a deep dive into your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. Based on this information, he selects the appropriate diagnostic tests to get a full picture of your hormone health. These may include:

Comprehensive Blood Work

Evaluates total and free hormone levels.

DUTCH Testing (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones)

Assesses hormone metabolites, adrenal rhythm, and detox pathways.

Saliva Testing

Useful for monitoring cortisol and certain sex hormones.

Thyroid Panel

Includes TSH, Free T3, Free T4, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies.

These advanced panels can detect imbalances missed by conventional testing and help identify root causes—such as poor liver detoxification, adrenal fatigue, or chronic inflammation—that affect how hormones function.
