Testosterone is an essential hormone for both men and women. When levels decline, it can cause troubling symptoms. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can bring relief.
TRT may help those with low testosterone levels and problematic symptoms like:
* Low sex drive and bedroom performance issues * Loss of muscle mass and reduced strength * Weight gain, fatigue and irritability * Concentration and memory problems
TRT boosts testosterone in the body to alleviate deficiency symptoms. It can be delivered through:
* Injections - most common, done weekly or biweekly * Gels and creams - daily topical application * Pellets - implanted under the skin, lasts several months * Oral capsules - daily pill form
We tailor your TRT program including:
* Baseline lab testing to diagnose low testosterone * Choose best option for your needs and lifestyle * Start therapy at an appropriate dosage * Monitor progress with follow up bloodwork * Make dosage adjustments as necessary
When administered properly, TRT is very safe and effective. Most men find great relief from deficiency symptoms and improved vitality.
Estrogen is essential for women's health. When levels decline due to menopause or other issues, estrogen therapy can help alleviate problematic symptoms.
Women experiencing menopausal symptoms like:
* Hot flashes and night sweats disrupting sleep * Vaginal dryness and associated pain * Joint pain and stiffness * Accelerated bone loss raising fracture risk
Other symptoms of low estrogen levels:
* Persistent fatigue, memory lapses and trouble focusing * Loss of skin elasticity and collagen leading to wrinkles * Weight gain and slowed metabolism * Depression, anxiety and mood changes
* Reduces hot flashes, night sweats by 75% or more * Eliminates vaginal dryness and discomfort * Prevents osteoporosis and bone fractures * Improves mood, energy, mental clarity and skin tone
Estrogen therapy effectively alleviates deficiency symptoms for improved wellbeing.
Choices for restoring estrogen levels include:
* Systemic therapy - oral pills or skin patches * Low-dose vaginal preparations - creams, tablets or rings * Bioidentical hormones - plant-based, molecularly identical to human estrogen
We help determine the ideal type, dosage and administration method based on your needs and preferences.
The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism. An underactive thyroid can cause wide-ranging symptoms. Thyroid hormone therapy effectively treats hypothyroidism for better health.
Common symptoms include:
* Unexplained weight gain and inability to lose weight * Constant fatigue, weakness and sleepiness * Dry skin and hair, sensitivity to cold * Muscle and joint pain, cramping or stiffness * Heavy menstrual bleeding, fertility issues
An untreated thyroid deficiency raises risks for certain diseases over time. Proper diagnosis and thyroid hormone therapy brings fast relief.
* Medical history and lab testing to confirm hypothyroidism * Prescription of oral thyroid hormone medication * Monthly monitoring to achieve optimal levels * Ongoing dose adjustments as necessary * Noticeable improvement of deficiency symptoms when properly treated
With close management, most patients find their zest for life greatly restored through thyroid therapy.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals match their physical characteristics with their gender identity. While the emotional benefits are well-known, research also shows that after a year of hormone treatment, muscle mass and strength in trans women decreases to the normal cisgender female range, allowing fair competition in sports.
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a precursor hormone that gets converted to estrogen and testosterone. Integrative doctors may prescribe DHEA therapy when levels are low.
Those with deficiency symptoms like:
* Unexplained, stubborn weight gain * Persistent afternoon fatigue and low motivation * Loss of muscle tone and feeling “soft” * Low libido and sexual dysfunction
DHEA therapy should only be taken under medical supervision with proper testing. When indicated for deficiency treatment, it can provide great benefits.
Growth hormone production starts declining around age 30. Low levels over time result in accelerated aging-related issues and increased disease risks. Growth hormone therapy at Balance Hormone Clinic can slow these processes for greater wellbeing.
* Increased energy and stamina * Healthy weight loss, reduced belly fat * Enhanced mood, mental clarity and sleep quality * Improved skin tone, hair and nails * Increased bone density and muscle mass * Better bedroom performance and heightened libido
Growth hormone therapy alleviates deficiency-related signs of aging for good health as we grow older.
Like all our therapies, your program is tailored including:
* Lab testing to diagnose growth hormone deficiency * Choosing most appropriate treatment method * Starting therapy and teaching self-administration techniques * Follow-up testing and dosage titrations * Lifestyle recommendations to optimize results
We closely monitor until hormone levels and symptoms have improved before shifting to ongoing maintenance phase.
