Hormone therapy involves supplementing hormones that are lacking or out of balance in the body. It can provide relief from unpleasant deficiency symptoms and restore wellbeing when natural hormone production declines.
There are several reasons why hormone levels may become imbalanced or suboptimal:
The most common hormones that decline are sex hormones like estrogen in women and testosterone in men. Thyroid hormones are also very commonly deficient, especially in women over 40.
When hormones decline, patients may start experiencing unpleasant symptoms that can significantly impair quality of life. Timely hormone testing and replacement therapy is critical for restoring wellness.
Hormone therapy aims to restore optimal hormone levels, providing wide-ranging benefits:
Restoring hormone balance is crucial for maintaining wellness and healthy aging. When levels of key hormones decline out of normal ranges, deficiency symptoms set in which can be debilitating. Catching and addressing hormone imbalance early is critical for ensuring patients can keep enjoying an active, healthy and fulfilling life without unpleasant symptoms getting in the way.
Rejuvenate Hormone Clinic specializes in precision hormone therapy to restore patients to optimal balance. Our experienced medical team uses advanced testing and cutting-edge therapies personalized to each patient’s unique needs.
The first step is identifying any hormone deficiencies or imbalances through comprehensive lab testing:
Common hormones that should be evaluated:
Estrogen - Deficiency causes hot flashes, vaginal dryness, bladder issues, sleep disruption, bone loss, heart issues, and cognitive, mood, skin and hair changes in women
Progesterone - Low levels lead to estrogen dominance and PMS, fibroids, fatigue, anxiety, irregular periods
Testosterone - Decline causes low libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, loss of strength, endurance and lean muscle mass in both men and women
DHEA - An adrenal androgen that drops with age, contributing to loss of wellbeing
T3 & T4 - Regulate metabolism and energy production - poor thyroid function causes exhaustion, weight gain, low temperature, hair loss
Reverse T3 - Can rise and block thyroid hormone action, triggering hypothyroid symptoms
Melatonin - Regulates sleep/wake cycle - drops with age GH (Growth Hormone) - Declines contributing to loss of lean body mass Cortisol - Key stress hormone that can become dysregulated
Testing all the above provides a comprehensive picture of a patient’s hormone health and identifies areas for optimization.
In addition, we assess and optimize:
A comprehensive and systematic approach is needed to restore hormonal balance and sustained wellbeing. The root causes driving hormone dysfunction like poor lifestyle habits, inflammation, toxins, stress, and nutrient deficiencies must be addressed for optimal therapy outcomes.
If testing reveals any clinically significant hormone deficiencies, we provide cutting-edge hormone replacement therapies tailored to the patient’s unique needs:
Bioidentical hormones - like estradiol, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA - are structurally identical to the hormones naturally made in the body. They are extremely safe and the most physiological option.
Options include:
Pellet therapy offers sustained hormone release over 3-6 months through pellets placed under the skin.
For low thyroid function we provide:
We also address the underlying causes driving hypothyroidism like inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, blood sugar imbalances and toxins for the best restoration of thyroid health possible.
Supplements like sermorelin acetate promote natural growth hormone release from the pituitary through the night which is when most GH production happens normally. Benefits can include:
Chronic stress can weaken the adrenal glands causing suboptimal hormone output. We provide cutting edge testing like 4-point cortisol tests and treat with:
The key is personalizing treatment based on each patient’s underlying imbalances and drivers. We don’t take a one-size-fits all approach to hormone therapy. Through precision testing and corrective protocols customized to the bioindividual, optimal balance can be restored sustainably.
We also provide ongoing monitoring and modification of hormone therapy plans based on follow up testing and symptom improvements to ensure treatments are optimized over both the short and long term.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Studies show that when started at a young age, hormone therapy allows transgender youth to develop secondary sex characteristics consistent with their affirmed gender, improving mental health outcomes and quality of life.
It’s important to test hormone levels regularly from your 30s onward and not just wait for severe deficiency symptoms before checking. Catching imbalances early allows us to take corrective action swiftly and prevent unpleasant symptoms from ever setting in in the first place.
Many people undergo needless suffering for years before finally getting their hormones tested, diagnosed with major deficiencies and going on replacement therapy, finally experiencing immense relief from exhaustion, insomnia, low libido, digestive issues, weight gain, mood problems, cognitive dysfunction and more.
Don’t wait until symptoms become debilitating to test your hormone levels! Adding comprehensive hormone panels to annual wellness testing lets us catch deficiencies at subclinical stages before they significantly impact quality of life. Identifying and correcting minor imbalances early is key for sustaining optimal wellness long term.
Certain symptoms in particular should prompt hormone testing:
In women - irregular periods, hot flashes, bladder control issues, vaginal dryness, low libido, night sweats, sleep disruption, fatigue, mood changes, difficulty building muscle
In men - erectile dysfunction, low libido, reduced facial/body hair, fatigue, loss of strength and lean muscle mass, weight gain, osteopenia/osteoporosis
In both - Trouble sleeping, exhaustion, mental fog, nervousness, anxiety, depression, abdominal weight gain
