Hormones are essential chemical messengers that regulate many of the body's processes and functions. When hormone levels become too high or too low, you may experience symptoms associated with a hormonal imbalance. Some common signs of a hormone deficiency include:
Hormone imbalances can negatively impact quality of life. If you're experiencing any of the above symptoms, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may help get your hormonal levels back on track.
There are several potential causes of hormone deficiencies and imbalances:
Identifying and addressing the underlying cause with customized treatment plans can help restore balance.
Allowing hormone deficiencies and imbalances to persist untreated over long periods raises your risk for various diseases and health complications like:
Fortunately, advanced hormone testing makes it easier than ever to safely and effectively get hormonal levels optimized. Research shows that restoring optimal hormone balance with replacement therapy offers immense benefits regardless of your age or gender.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) supplements your body's depleted hormone levels through customized treatment plans tailored to your needs and health goals.
HRT benefits for both men and women include:
Balancing hormone levels revitalizes energy reserves to help you feel more motivated and focused each day with reduced fatigue. Thyroid and testosterone therapy in particular counteract exhaustion while sharpening concentration and memory.
Imbalanced hormone levels frequently trigger mood disorders. Our specialized psychiatrists customize integrative mental health treatment plans involving hormone optimization protocols to improve psychological well-being.
Hormones regulate metabolism - the rate your body burns calories. Testosterone, HGH and thyroid hormone therapy make it easier to lose stubborn fat and regain healthy muscle mass by working synergistically to stimulate metabolic rate.
Your muscles and bones rely on key hormones like testosterone, estrogen and growth hormone to remain resilient and robust as you age. Our clinic offers state-of-the art therapies to sustain strength and fitness.
Healthy testosterone levels are crucial for sexual health in both men and women. We provide comprehensive solutions to recharge diminished libido and optimize intimate satisfaction.
HRT alleviates uncomfortable symptoms associated with menopause, like hot flashes, vaginal dryness and insomnia for women. For men over 40 struggling through andropause, testosterone therapy relieves irritability, fatigue, muscle loss and erectile dysfunction.
Disrupted sleep further aggravates hormone imbalance issues. Our regenerative therapies promote deeper, more restorative sleep to aid the body's innate self-healing abilities.
Age-related hormone decline makes you more vulnerable to obesity, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, dementia and specific cancers. Evidence confirms proactive HRT significantly lowers these risks to extend healthy lifespan.

Comprehensive blood analysis provides key data on individual hormone levels and biomarkers associated with hormone activity. Testing may include:
Follow-up tests are performed regularly throughout treatment to ensure optimal hormone balance is sustained.
Saliva testing accurately measures "free" or usable hormones available to cell receptors. These real-time readings complement blood testing for a complete diagnostic perspective. Custom therapies are fine-tuned based on saliva test results.
A doctor performs a physical exam, asking about symptoms while checking vitals, fitness level, body fat percentage and areas impacted by hormone deficiency like skin, hair or genitals. Women receive a gynecological exam.
During your confidential consultation, an HRT specialist educates patients on testing analysis, discusses treatment options and designs an integrated regimen catered to the patient’s health profile and needs.
After establishing the optimal dosage through testing, monitored administration begins based on the customized medical plan. Bioidentical hormones utilized may include:
Patients initially come in 1-2 weeks after starting therapy to evaluate progress and adjust dosages if necessary to achieve strategic goals while avoiding overmedication. Regular testing and follow-ups continue, with tweaks as needed over the first months to attain peak benefits.
Improving lifestyle habits magnifies the advantages of HRT. Our doctors offer evidence-based tips on nutrition, fitness, stress management and targeted nutraceuticals as part of the program. Even simple changes can make a big impact.

Growth hormone (HGH) activates regeneration, growth and youthfulness throughout life. But production inevitably declines with age, resulting in undesirable body changes like wrinkles, muscle wasting, weaker bones, fatigue, impaired immunity and excess abdominal weight.
Fortunately, restoring HGH to more youthful ranges via bioidentical injections counteracts many unwanted effects of biological aging.

Choosing minimally processed organic produce, pasture-raised meats, wild seafood, nuts/seeds, fermented foods prebiotics and probiotics nourishes endocrine function. We offer personalized clinical nutrition plans.
Chronic stress and sleep loss negatively impact hormone production. Relaxation practices like yoga, meditation, massage, floating pods, nature immersion and avoiding technology before bed preserve hormone health.
Both cardiovascular and resistance exercise stimulate natural hormone activity while reducing inflammatory factors that impair hormone balance. Custom fitness suggestions maximize advantages.
Specific nutritional supplements further support healthy hormone levels, reducing deficiencies and sensitizing receptor sites. We provide custom guidance on efficacious nutraceuticals like magnesium, vitamin D, zinc, DHEA and adaptogenic herbs.
Adopting even a few supportive lifestyle modifications fortifies treatment progress to yield amplified, lasting improvements in energy, body composition, sexual function, sleep quality, mental health and overall wellness. Small consistent actions yield disproportionately large benefits over time.
