With Savannah Bukant, CNTP, MRWP — Helping You Remember What Steady Feels Like

It doesn't always announce itself.

Sometimes it’s just a feeling—small at first. A little more tired in the mornings. A little more wired at night. Food doesn’t land quite the same. Patience feels thinner. Focus slips through the cracks.

You chalk it up to life. To work. To seasons. Maybe you tell yourself it’s just the pace you’ve chosen.

But then, little by little, it becomes impossible to ignore. Something inside feels unsteady. Off. Like your body’s rhythms have wandered without you noticing.

If any of that feels familiar, you’re not broken. You’re paying attention.

I'm Savannah Bukant, and from my practice here in Totem Lake, I work with people who are ready to stop fighting symptoms and start reconnecting with their deeper, quieter health. Hormone therapy with me isn’t a checklist. It’s a conversation. A remembering.

What Hormonal Imbalance Really Looks Like

Totem Lake moves fast. There are new buildings springing up, cars threading through roundabouts, long lines for coffee at all hours. Life here doesn’t slow down unless you choose to make it.

And if you don’t? The body eventually calls a time-out—through signals that are easy to misread at first:

  • Sleep that comes late and feels thin when it arrives

  • Cycles that show up unpredictably—or linger longer than they should

  • Energy that drops out mid-afternoon, even after a decent night's sleep

  • Emotional swings that feel unfamiliar, like you’re not quite yourself

  • Brain fog that leaves you second-guessing your own sentences

  • Weight gain around the waist that ignores every diet and exercise attempt

Hormonal imbalance rarely arrives as a dramatic event. It’s slow. Creeping. Until suddenly you realize: life feels harder than it used to. And it’s not about discipline or attitude. It’s about physiology.

Why Hormone Therapy Has to Start with Listening

The thing about hormones is—they're always talking. In energy, in hunger, in tears, in motivation. They’re not bad. They’re just messengers.

But the modern medical model often misses that. It checks quick labs, finds you in the “normal” range, and sends you on your way.

  • Yet according to research, over 50% of adults with hormone-related fatigue or brain fog are misdiagnosed with simple depression or aging.

  • And roughly 65% of people struggling with hormone imbalance don’t receive correct support for 5+ years after their first symptoms.

It’s not that you’re imagining it. It’s that our system isn’t designed to listen deeply. But that’s what real healing work demands.

How Hormone Therapy Happens Here

There’s no magic timeline. No protocol labeled "one-size-fits-all."

Hormone therapy with me at my Totem Lake office—or virtually, if you prefer—looks like this:

  • A real intake conversation—one that leaves room for pauses, for stray thoughts, for stories that don’t fit neatly into symptom boxes.

  • Optional functional lab testing—thyroid panels, adrenal maps, full hormone profiles—only if it feels clarifying, never forced.

  • Strengthening the true foundations: blood sugar regulation, gut resilience, stress rhythms, nourishment layers.

  • Careful, slow supplementation tailored to your body’s sensitivity and signals—not someone else’s plan.

  • Nervous system work—not yoga routines or meditation apps (unless you love them)—but small, daily shifts that rebuild your sense of safety from the inside out.

You’re not just patching symptoms here. You’re clearing space for your system to find its own balance again.

Why Hormonal Health Struggles in Totem Lake

Totem Lake is full of newness. New roads, new buildings, new conveniences. But inside all that shine is the reality of modern living:

Closed air systems. Artificial lighting. Less true outdoor movement. Processed foods because it’s quick. Digital overstimulation that doesn’t turn off after work.

These aren’t moral failings. They’re the design of modern life. And even in the heart of the Eastside's new growth, they slowly tug at hormone resilience.

Clients I work with often notice:

  • More screen time, leading to late-night cortisol spikes

  • Longer indoor hours without natural light—confusing melatonin and energy cycles

  • Convenience eating that slowly starves micronutrients essential for hormone production

  • Persistent low-level stress from high-density living—even when everything seems “fine”

Your body wasn’t built to thrive under endless buzz. It was built for rhythms. Safety. Pause. And when you give it those things, it starts to come back to itself.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hormone Therapy in Totem Lake

  • It can. New construction often uses materials that off-gas VOCs (volatile organic compounds) for months or even years—compounds that can stress your liver and endocrine system. Improving air quality at home is something we can talk about easily.

  • Yes. Hospitals, clinics, and office parks often have recycled air, fluorescent lighting, and irregular schedules—all of which can fatigue the adrenal glands and disrupt sleep-wake cycles over time.

  • Never. Testing is available if it feels empowering or clarifying, but we can begin simply by listening to your body. No pressure, no sales pitches.

  • Yes to both. My office is tucked near the Totem Lake shopping center, easy to reach with parking available. And yes, I offer virtual sessions if you’d rather start from your own space.

  • Absolutely. Age shifts hormones naturally, but deep, lingering exhaustion, mood changes, and cognitive shifts are often signs that support is needed—not that "this is just how it is now."
