Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) goes beyond just balancing testosterone and estrogen. With a comprehensive endocrinology approach, we utilize advanced laboratory testing and analysis to assess your unique hormonal profile. By identifying the root causes of symptoms, we create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. HRT can help restore balance to your hormones, improving energy levels, metabolism, and overall well-being, while addressing underlying health conditions for long-lasting results and enhanced quality of life.
Common Hormonal Imbalances
Hormonal imbalances are more common than most people realize, and the symptoms aren’t always obvious. With more than 50 types of hormones working together in your body, even a small shift in the production of just one can have significant effects on your health and quality of life. In women, estrogen dominance, low progesterone, and thyroid dysfunction are especially common, often linked to menstrual irregularities, PCOS, or menopause. In men, low testosterone is one of the most frequent concerns, leading to reduced energy, decreased libido, and mood disturbances. Both men and women can also experience imbalances in cortisol and insulin, particularly in response to chronic stress or poor diet.
Hormonal Imbalance Symptoms
We assess your complete hormonal picture to understand what’s driving your symptoms, and design a treatment plan that addresses the root cause.
Common symptoms include:
- Fatigue & Low Energy
- Weight Gain & Metabolic Changes
- Mood Swings & Irritability
- Anxiety & Depression
- Sleep Disruption & Insomnia
- Brain Fog & Difficulty Concentrating
- Hot Flashes & Night Sweats
- Hair Loss
- Changes in Skin & Nails
How Hormone Replacement Therapy Works
We begin with comprehensive laboratory panels, assessing testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, cortisol, thyroid function, and more. Because hormonal symptoms often overlap and interact, a full-picture view is essential to understanding what’s truly driving your concerns. We then review your lab results alongside your complete health history, lifestyle, and wellness goals. We look for patterns and root causes, addressing the underlying “why” behind your symptoms, including any hormone-related nutrient deficiencies that may be contributing to the imbalance.
Lab Review & Plan Development
Based on your unique symptoms, hormone profile, and personal health history, we design a customized hormone replacement therapy (HRT) plan tailored specifically to your needs.
Treatment options may include:
Estrogen therapy: Available as oral tablets, transdermal patches, topical creams, gels, sprays, or vaginal preparations “Estrace Cream.”
Progesterone therapy: Most commonly oral micronized progesterone, when indicated for women who have an intact uterus.
Transdermal hormone therapy: Patches or compounded creams for steady hormone delivery.
For patients with a history of DVT, blood-clotting conditions, or hormone-sensitive cancers, non-oral delivery methods may be recommended as a safer alternative.
Ongoing Monitoring & Optimization
Hormone health is dynamic. We schedule regular follow-up labs and appointments to monitor your progress, track how your body responds, and fine-tune your protocol over time.
