Hormone therapy involves supplementing hormones that are lacking or imbalanced in the body. It can provide relief from unpleasant symptoms and improve quality of life. The Balance - Hormone Medical Clinic specializes in bioidentical hormone replacement, using hormones identical to those naturally produced by the body to achieve optimal results.
Many people experience hormone changes and imbalances at some point that lead to symptoms interfering with wellbeing. Common reasons individuals seek hormone therapy include:
Declining estrogen and progesterone levels cause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, irregular periods, trouble sleeping, and mood changes. Hormone therapy can reduce these symptoms by 75-80%.
Testosterone levels decline with age, causing fatigue, low sex drive, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, and emotional changes in men. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can improve energy, sex drive, body composition, mood, and quality of life.
An under or overactive thyroid gland causes unpleasant symptoms. Restoring thyroid hormone levels can resolve fatigue, weight issues, constipation, skin and hair changes, and more.
The first step at The Balance - Hormone Medical Clinic is comprehensive lab testing to accurately identify any hormone imbalances. Our physicians then develop customized treatment plans comprising:
We use bioidentical hormones - substances molecularly identical to those produced naturally in the body - not synthetic versions with potentially unpleasant side effects.
Hormones can be administered as pills, creams, injections, implants, gels, or patches depending on each patient's needs and preferences for optimal adherence. Dosing is continually adjusted in response to follow up lab work and symptom tracking under the guidance of our experienced practitioners.
Hormone therapy is part of a holistic treatment plan including diet, exercise, stress management, and nutraceutical supplementation for full restoration of health and wellbeing.
