Hormone therapy involves using medications or supplements to help treat hormonal imbalances or deficiencies. It can provide relief from symptoms and improve overall health and well-being. Hormones are chemical messengers produced by glands that regulate many essential bodily functions. When levels become too high or too low, hormone therapy may help restore balance.
Some common symptoms of hormone deficiency in both men and women include:
Those experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance can be candidates for hormone replacement treatment, including:
The goal of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is to supplement deficient hormone levels, leading to improved physical and emotional health. Based on lab testing and evaluation of symptoms, bioidentical hormones at proper dosages can help individuals regain energy, strength, positive mood, productivity, healthy weight, and sex drive.
Restoring optimal hormone levels leads to relief from debilitating symptoms that disrupt sleep, work, relationships, and daily life activities. Regulating hormones can also have preventative health effects and slow age-related decline. Harmony Hormone Center creates customized treatments focused on improving patients’ quality of life.
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones produced by the human body. They are often derived from plant sources and precisely matched to a patient’s needs and goals for treatment. Harmony Hormone Center specializes in body-identical hormones for natural-feeling, effective replenishment.
Harmony Hormone Center begins with consultation and testing to accurately identify each patient's hormone deficiencies or excesses. Blood, saliva or urine lab panels provide objective data, though onset of symptoms can also indicate imbalances. Test results reveal precisely which hormones require adjustment for the patient to feel their best.
Proper hormone dosing is essential, so Harmony Hormone Center doctors assess health history and risk factors to create treatment regimens meeting patients’ unique needs. We utilize testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormones and others to target specific problems. Patients receive ongoing medical oversight for safe, effective care.
In addition to bioidentical hormones, patients need proper nutrition, movement, sleep and stress reduction to facilitate treatment. Harmony Hormone Center’ holistic approach addresses lifestyle factors impacting hormone health. We provide nutritional guidance, fitness tips, sleep hygiene education, and stress management techniques for optimal mind-body wellness.
Left untreated, hormone imbalance can negatively impact health and raise disease risk over time. Estrogen deficiency elevates osteoporosis and heart disease likelihood in menopausal women, while low testosterone in middle-aged men predicts higher cardiovascular mortality. Prompt hormone therapy mitigates complications.
Severe hot flashes, insomnia, sexual dysfunction, fatigue and mood swings disrupt productivity, self-esteem and relationships. Patients often struggle through months or years of hormone-related problems before seeking treatment – yet relief may be attainable. Harmony Hormone Center aims to shorten that frustrating journey.
Research shows hormone therapy works best when initiated early in hormonal decline, leading to faster symptomatic improvements. At Harmony Hormone Center, we encourage patients to start treatment upon the first bothersome signs of deficiency for enhanced responses. Don’t wait to take control of health!
