Hormones are essential chemical messengers that regulate many critical bodily functions. When hormones fall out of balance, deficiency signs like fatigue, weight gain, low libido, and emotional changes can occur. Re-establishing ideal hormone levels through hormone therapy leads to improved health and wellbeing.
Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, thyroid hormone, cortisol and others coordinate complex processes in the body. They are produced by various glands and organs including the thyroid, adrenals, pancreas and ovaries/testicles.
Hormones travel in the bloodstream to act on different tissues and cells. Like keys fitting into locks, hormones bind to specialized receptors on target cells. This triggers responses vital to metabolism, growth, reproduction, cognition and more.
Some key hormone functions:
Over time, suboptimal lifestyle choices, high stress levels, poor diet, genetic predispositions, aging and other factors can lead to hormone deficiency signs like:
Men - Low libido, erectile dysfunction - Loss of strength and lean muscle mass - Weight gain - especially abdominal fat - Emotional changes - irritability, depression - Fatigue
Women - Hot flashes, night sweats - Vaginal dryness - Weight gain - Bladder control issues - Skin changes - Low stamina
Low thyroid function can cause fatigue, hair loss, congestion, sensitivity to cold, constipation and unexplained weight gain.
Elevated cortisol from chronic stress contributes to high blood sugar, abdominal obesity, and suppressed immunity.
Customized hormone therapy aims to restore ideal hormone balance tailored to your unique physiology and needs.
Benefits of modern hormone therapy include:
Balancing key hormones revitalizes libido, physical vigor and mental sharpness - enabling you to participate more fully and joyfully in relationships and pursuits meaningful to you.
The right testosterone therapy protocol promotes gains of lean muscle while also helping mobilize stubborn body fat that contributes to weight loss plateaus. Thyroid and cortisol balancing provide further metabolic support.
Hormone optimization curtails irritability, anxiety and sadness - boosting your overall happiness, life satisfaction and resilience to stress. You’ll feel more like your vibrant, pre-deficiency self again.
Estrogen, progesterone or testosterone therapy alleviates uncomfortable menopausal or andropausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, erectile dysfunction and loss of vitality.
HRT delivered at physiological levels under medical supervision provides anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective and neuroprotective benefits while also guarding bone mineral density.
Cumulatively, the positive impacts of HRT pave the way for improved sleep quality, intimacy, self-confidence and success in important domains of life.
Every hormone therapy patient has a unique health history, physiology, symptom profile and set of goals.
That’s why our practitioners take the time to listen and then tailor integrated treatment plans accordingly. Protocols may include:
BHRT involves prescribing plant-derived hormones that closely match what your body produces naturally in structure and function. This includes:
BHRT formulations come as oral tablets, sublingual drops, topical creams or injectables. Your prescribing practitioner will determine the ideal preparation and dosing regimen based on your needs and preferences.
Many patients present with compromised thyroid hormone output or elevated cortisol from chronic stress - both of which derail metabolism. We help restore optimal functioning through medications, targeted nutrients and lifestyle changes.
For qualifying patients, we may incorporate medications proven to enhance weight loss when combined with a healthy calorie-controlled diet and regular exercise. These can help accelerate progress.
We also prescribe medications and devices for erectile dysfunction (ED) in men with low testosterone. For postmenopausal women experiencing vaginal dryness or discomfort, we recommend topical estrogen or laser therapy for fast relief.
The earlier hormone declines or imbalances are detected, the more swiftly treatment can halt and reverse associated symptoms or dysfunction. That’s why we urge patients to be vigilant with self-monitoring and request testing promptly when deficiency signs emerge.
We also encourage regular screening bloodwork for those at risk:
