Hormone therapy is the administration of hormones to supplement low hormone levels in the body or to block hormone production in certain conditions, primarily associated with aging, menopause, and hormone deficiency. The goal of hormone therapy is to alleviate unpleasant symptoms caused by hormone imbalances and improve quality of life.

Hormone therapy offers wide-ranging benefits for both men and women. Outlined below are key topics and advantages associated with strategically restoring healthier hormone balance.
Testosterone treatment is highly effective at reversing multiple concerns related to decreasing testosterone levels including:
Symptoms of Low Testosterone:
Benefits of Testosterone Therapy:
Testosterone therapy also alleviates frustrating symptoms of andropause, the age-related decline in testosterone sometimes called “male menopause”.
We utilize state-of-the-art therapies to safely increase testosterone levels based on your unique metabolic needs. Most men begin noticing improvements in energy, sex drive and wellbeing within 1-2 months.
Supplementing the key female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone is highly effective for relieving multiple symptoms associated with perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause including:
Menopausal Symptoms:
Benefits of Hormone Therapy:
We offer both systemic hormone therapy which spreads through the entire body as well as localized vaginal estrogen creams to specifically target genitourinary tissues.
Most women experience significant symptom relief within 1-3 months along with renewed energy and wellbeing on appropriate estrogen/progesterone regimens.
The small butterfly-shaped thyroid gland produces thyroid hormone which regulates core metabolic processes. An underactive thyroid gland leads to a condition called hypothyroidism which becomes more common with aging.
Symptoms may include:
Without enough thyroid hormone, metabolism slows leading to unpleasant symptoms and long term risks like high cholesterol, heart disease, depression and reproductive issues.
Benefits of thyroid hormone replacement include:
We offer thyroid blood testing and precise prescription thyroid hormones including T3 and T4. Most patients experience marked symptom relief and a restoration of healthy metabolic function within 4-6 weeks.
Estrogen therapy may help strengthen women's bones and reduce fracture risk, even years after menopause. A study found starting estrogen within 6 years of menopause led to a 30% decrease in hip fracture risk over 20 years compared to those who never took hormones.
While directly replacing deficient hormones is central, we also address various complementary areas to ensure optimal treatment benefits.
