Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) involves supplementing hormones that decline naturally with age. As we get older, hormone levels start to drop, leading to unpleasant symptoms. HRT can help relieve issues associated with menopause, andropause and other hormone imbalances.
HRT is customized to meet each patient's needs, using bioidentical hormones - hormones that are molecularly identical to those made in the human body. Treatment usually involves forms of estrogen and testosterone.
The goal is to supplement hormone levels enough to alleviate symptoms, but not so much as to cause side effects. When administered correctly by an experienced professional, HRT can provide immense benefits.
HRT effectively relieves issues caused by hormone decline, leading to better quality of life. Benefits may include:
In summary, HRT can reverse multiple signs of aging, restore wellbeing and vitality.
Patients experiencing unpleasant menopause or andropause symptoms are candidates for HRT. Good health and active lifestyle maximize HRT benefits.
Ideal patients do not smoke and are committed to healthy nutrition, fitness and preventative care. Certain medical conditions may exclude some candidates. Our experienced practitioners determine if HRT is right for each patient.
When administered properly under medical supervision, bioidentical HRT is extremely safe for most people.
There are minor risks associated with HRT. Side effects may include temporary bloating, breast tenderness, mood swings or spotting. In some cases, adjusting protocol corrects issues. Risks are lower with bioidentical hormones than synthetic versions.
Hormone Harmony Clinic practitioners carefully monitor patients, tailoring doses to optimal levels. Follow-up lab testing ensures hormones stay balanced. We provide support through any adjustments.
Low hormone levels cause vague, gradual onset of unpleasant signs. Symptoms intensify over months and years, significantly diminishing quality of life. Many people incorrectly attribute issues to normal aging.
Identifying deficiencies early allows treatment before permanent impacts occur.
Andropause symptoms in men may include:
Menopause symptoms in women often involve:
If experiencing distressing issues, diagnostic testing identifies whether hormone imbalances are the culprit.
Comprehensive lab analysis of blood, saliva or urine determines existing hormone levels. Hormone Harmony Clinic utilizes advanced testing to accurately evaluate deficiencies.
We check reproductive and adrenal hormones:
Checking metabolites reveals how effectively hormones are processed. Testing kidney and liver function ensures safety.
Accurately assessing imbalances is crucial for effective treatment. Hormone Harmony Clinic analyses all facets to create targeted therapy.
Hormone Harmony Clinic customizes bioidentical hormone therapy using lab analysis matched with symptom evaluation. We create individualized therapies using the optimal route of administration.
Bioidentical hormones have a molecular structure identical to those produced in the body. Derived from plant sources, these hormones are biochemically equivalent versions.
The body recognizes bioidentical hormones like its own, leading to excellent absorption and utilization. This allows precision dosing to restore optimal levels.
Efficacy combined with biological similarity makes bioidentical hormones extremely safe and effective.
Hormone Harmony Clinic utilizes multiple delivery methods for flexibility accommodating each patient's needs:
Oral - Hormones taken by mouth, like traditional tablets. This allows convenient self-administration.
Transdermal - Topical creams passively diffuse hormones through skin into bloodstream. Creams are mess-free and adjust dosing easily.
Injections - Directly administer hormones into fat or muscle tissue using tiny needles. Injections provide maximum absorption and precise dosing flexibility.
Pellets - Minute hormone pellets are placed under the skin via quick office procedure. Pellets offer steady release over several months.
The method or combination providing optimal results is determined collaboratively by practitioner and patient. Follow-up testing ensures adequate levels are consistently maintained long-term.
We individualize therapy for each patient while carefully monitoring progress.
Supporting HRT with healthy lifestyle optimizes results. Recommendations include:
Implementing healthy habits provides immense benefits amplifying those of HRT. Our practitioners provide guidance to help patients actualize goals.
We empower patients with knowledge and support for realizing fullest wellness.
Delaying treatment allows progressive decline decreasing quality of life over time:
Additionally, long-term hormone imbalances raise risks for certain cancers and neurodegenerative diseases.
Seeking timely treatment prevents cumulative damage from deficiencies. Restoring balance early protects physical health, mental faculty and vital relationships.
Recent research has found that hormone therapy started early in menopause may provide cognitive benefits for some women. A 2021 study showed that women who began hormone therapy within 6 years of menopause had better verbal memory and processing speed compared to those who started later or not at all.
