Hormone therapy provides many benefits for both men and women. Balancing hormone levels can help patients find relief from symptoms of hormone deficiency and improve quality of life.
Correcting hormone imbalances can provide relief from many symptoms caused by declining hormones. Common benefits of hormone therapy include:
Hormone therapy helps patients age healthier by optimizing hormone levels. Key anti-aging benefits include:
Balancing hormones also provides important preventative health benefits:
By improving energy, mood, sleep and more, hormone therapy significantly enhances overall quality of life. Patients report feeling healthier, happier and more engaged in work, family and hobbies.
There are several potential causes of hormonal imbalance as we age:
Genetics also play a key role - some people are predisposed to hormone deficiencies.
Lifestyle factors like poor diet, lack of exercise, alcohol abuse, smoking and inadequate sleep also contribute.
Diagnosing hormone deficiencies begins with a thorough evaluation of symptoms, medical history, lifestyle and family history. This helps identify potential hormone abnormalities.
We then perform lab testing to measure blood levels of key hormones like:
Saliva and urine tests may also be used. Testing hormone ratios and metabolites provides additional insight.
This comprehensive testing identifies any hormonal deficiencies needing to be addressed.
Once hormone deficiencies are diagnosed, we develop custom treatment plans using bioidentical hormone therapy.
Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to those naturally produced by the human body. They are derived from plant sources and customized to match each hormone exactly.
In contrast, synthetic hormones have different molecular structures. Common synthetic hormones like medroxyprogesterone (Provera) and CEEs (Premarin) can create unwanted side effects.
Bioidentical hormone replacement provides all the benefits of balancing hormones while avoiding side effects of synthetics. Advantages of bioidentical HRT include:
We utilize bioidentical hormones in diverse treatment methods tailored to each patient's needs:
We combine therapies as needed for each patient. Follow-up testing and medication adjustments ensure optimal treatment.
It's critical to diagnose and correct hormonal deficiencies in a timely manner before negative impacts occur. Benefits of early detection and treatment include:
The longer hormone deficiencies go untreated, the harder they become to fully correct. We emphasize early lab testing and treatment to provide these important health benefits.
