Dr. JOSEPH J. COLLINS

Dr. Joseph J Collins, RN, ND is President and Co-founder of Your Hormones, Inc. He has been directly involved in advancing the practice of natural hormone health since 1993. His functional endocrinology clinical practice focuses on adrenal fatigue, hypothyroidism, menopause, andropause, PMS/PMDD, PCOS and blood sugar disorders. He has extensive experience in the advanced use of adaptogens to support and improve hormone function through the modulation of homeostasis regulatory systems which control hormone production and hormone function. Dr Collins is a medical educator, author, and speaker who has done over 500 hours of teaching at advanced medical seminars and conferences. He has worked with or advised many functional diagnostic medical laboratories, and has contributed to the advances made in clinical applications of diagnostic testing.
At a national and international medical educator, Dr Collins continues to educate and advise other integrative practitioners in the assessment and management of menopause, PMS/PMDD, thyroid and adrenal disorders, as well as inflammatory diseases, celiac disease, and other chronic conditions.
My naturopathic practice has always focused on an integrative approach to healthcare, with an emphasis on endocrinology and cellular signaling, with an integrative and functional approach. My practice encompasses adrenal, thyroid and glycemic function, as well as women’s hormone health and men’s hormone health through support of optimal cellular signaling, which I support with foods, nutrients, phytotherapies, essential fatty acids, co-enzymes, adjuvant therapies and systemic enzyme therapy. By training, I am both a Naturopathic Physician and a Registered Nurse. I am licensed as a Naturopathic Physician by the state of Washington. I graduated in 1993 with a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, and have been licensed as a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) since 1993.
While residing in the state of Florida I use the designation “Registered Nurse, Naturopathic Doctorate” because Florida does not yet recognize Naturopathic Physicians in this state. As a Registered Nurse in the state of Florida I limit healthcare to that allowed by my license, and use my Naturopathic Doctorate in an educational capacity. I have been a licensed healthcare practitioner since 1979; beginning as a nurse.
In addition to my clinical experience, I have had the honor of being a consultant, advisor, and educator in the nutritional and diagnostic industries.
