Hormone therapy encompasses treatment methods that supplement or balance hormones in the body. As we age or due to medical conditions, our hormone levels can become deficient, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Getting tested and using bioidentical hormones helps optimize levels so you feel healthy and energetic again.
Hormone optimization therapy restores hormones to optimal levels to resolve deficiency symptoms. Our bodies require properly balanced hormones for ideal physical and mental wellbeing. When levels are low, supplementing through gels, patches or injections can bring your hormones back into balance.
Hormone levels can decline for various reasons:
Restoring balance through hormone replacement therapy (HRT) helps the body and mind function optimally again.
Detecting hormone deficiencies early is key for timely treatment. Informed consent HRT involves understanding and monitoring your levels to determine if intervention is best for your health.
Common signs of hormonal imbalances include:
If you are experiencing any combination of these symptoms, hormone testing can help uncover any deficiencies or dysfunction needing addressed.
Balancing your hormones through replacement therapy delivers extensive health benefits:
Restoring hormones to optimal levels, even if not fully deficient, promotes whole-body health and vitality.
Identifying exactly which hormones are imbalanced informs the best treatment course. Comprehensive testing examines:
Testing all major hormones and health markers obtains a complete picture of where your levels are currently at. This establishes a baseline to compare future re-testing to assess treatment efficacy.
Regular re-testing while undergoing hormone therapy tracks progress and guides dosage or protocol adjustments. We tailor plans based on your body's ongoing response.

Together we formulate integrated plans to resolve deficiencies through TRT (testosterone replacement therapy), medications, bioidentical hormones and lifestyle approaches.
Beginning hormonal therapies, medications or supplements restores balance. TRT normalizes testosterone levels improving energy, sexual function, body composition and mood.
Other key hormones addressed include estrogen, progesterone and DHEA. Thyroid hormones greatly influence metabolism, weight and mental clarity.
We educate you on proper protocol usage and realistic expectations about benefits/side effects. Starting low and gradual dosage titration is typical.
Re-testing hormone blood levels in 4-6 weeks reveals initial therapy effectiveness. We confirm levels normalize without overshooting high.
Ongoing follow-ups then recheck levels and symptoms monthly or quarterly to ensure continual optimization. Adjustments modify dosing or agents based on your evolving needs.
