Hormones play a crucial role in regulating many processes in the body and maintaining overall health and wellness. When hormone levels decline or become imbalanced, it can negatively impact energy levels, sleep, weight, sexual function, and mental health. Hormone replacement therapy can help restore hormone balance and alleviate unpleasant symptoms caused by hormonal changes.
Some common symptoms of hormonal imbalances include:
These symptoms can significantly impact quality of life. Identifying the root hormonal causes is key to finding an effective treatment solution.
Hormone levels naturally decline with age, but other factors can also trigger imbalances, like:
Making positive lifestyle changes can help, but hormone therapy is often necessary to get hormone levels back into their optimal ranges.
There are several delivery methods used in hormone replacement therapy:
The method chosen depends on the hormones being replaced, treatment goals, and patient preferences. The professionals at The Balance - Hormone Medical Clinic will determine the optimal hormone therapy protocol for each patient’s needs.
Some hormones often found to be low and replaced through therapy include:
Measuring current hormone levels through bloodwork or saliva tests determines which hormones should be supplemented to restore balance, alleviate symptoms, and promote optimal health.
The benefits of hormone replacement administered appropriately under medical supervision can be substantial, especially when treatment begins shortly after hormone decline or imbalance sets in. Benefits include:
With treatment, patients often report increased energy levels, stamina, lean muscle mass, easier fat loss, and improved skin tone. These effects can make patients look and feel 5-10 years younger or more.
By optimizing testosterone and other sexual health-related hormones, many patients experience increased libido, sexual sensation, performance, and satisfaction.
With hormone balance restored, most patients report improvements in mood, motivation, focus, and sense of wellbeing. This also eases anxiety and depression.
Research shows optimizing hormones can strengthen the immune system, heart health, bone density, and more, as well as reduce disease risks.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Many report improved quality of life, including reduced anxiety and depression. However, hormone therapy does carry health risks like blood clots and heart disease, so patients work closely with doctors to minimize risks.
