Hyperhidrosis and Excessive Sweating
A Functional Medicine Approach in Glendale, CA
Excessive sweating can impact comfort, confidence and quality of life. While sweating is normal, disproportionate sweating may reflect either primary hyperhidrosis or an underlying systemic imbalance.
At Glendale Whole Health we evaluate excessive sweating from both conventional and functional medicine perspectives.
Primary vs secondary hyperhidrosis
Primary axillary hyperhidrosis
Localized excessive underarm sweating without systemic disease.
Secondary hyperhidrosis
Sweating caused by thyroid dysfunction, hormonal shifts, metabolic instability, medication effects or stress dysregulation.
Differentiating the two is important before choosing treatment.
Potential underlying contributors
We evaluate possible influences including:
- Thyroid imbalance
- Hormonal shifts
- Blood sugar instability
- Autonomic nervous system dysregulation
- Chronic stress physiology
- Medication effects
Addressing underlying contributors may reduce symptom severity in some patients.
Treatment options
Conventional options include:
- Prescription-strength antiperspirants
- Oral or topical medications
- Injections such as Botox
- Energy-based procedures
For patients seeking permanent underarm sweat reduction, we offer miraDry.
miraDry uses controlled thermal energy to permanently destroy sweat and odor glands. It is FDA-cleared for treatment of unwanted underarm sweat and odor and permanent reduction of unwanted underarm hair.
You can review detailed expectations and pricing on our miraDry treatment page in the Aesthetics section.

An integrative approach
Some patients benefit from:
- Hormonal optimization
- Metabolic stabilization
- Stress regulation
- Nutritional support
- miraDry for definitive gland reduction
This combined approach addresses both symptoms and physiology.
