Hormone therapy involves using medications containing hormones to supplement lower hormone levels. This can help relieve unpleasant signs and symptoms of hormone deficiency and provide protective benefits against various health conditions.
At Hormone Health Institute in Ardmore, we offer customized natural hormone therapy plans to help both men and women regain optimal hormone balance. Below is an overview of how hormone treatment works along with details on our clinic's approach.
Detecting hormone shortages early is crucial for rapidly improving one's wellbeing. However, deficiency signs are often nonspecific and can develop gradually over time.
Some general symptoms of low hormone levels include:
Testing is required to confirm a true hormone deficiency. Hormone Health Institute??s cutting-edge hormone blood tests to accurately evaluate levels of key hormones like estrogen, testosterone, thyroid hormones, and more.
Based on each patient's unique test results and risk factors, our clinicians will determine if hormone therapy is recommended and work to develop an individualized treatment regimen.
Balancing hormones with bioidentical therapies can produce remarkable improvements in symptoms along with enhanced protection against various diseases.
For women, benefits may include relieving hot flashes and night sweats, improving vaginal health, supporting heart health and bone density, reducing diabetes risk, boosting energy, aiding sleep, and more.
In men, frequent advantages are increased energy and stamina, improved sexual function, enhanced mood and cognitive function, reduced belly fat, greater muscle strength, better cholesterol levels, and decreased inflammation.
The basic protocols when beginning hrt treatment involve:
At Hormone Health Institute, we utilize cutting edge therapies including testosterone treatments for men and combinations of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and/or thyroid hormones for women.
The method of administration (injections, gels, pellets, creams etc.) depends on the patient's needs and preferences. We work closely with each individual to find the most effective protocol.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Studies show that for many people, hormone therapy leads to significant improvements in quality of life, lowered anxiety and depression, and greater comfort in their own body. The therapy allows them to live more authentically.
Catching and addressing low hormones early is critical to rapidly reduce unpleasant symptoms and minimize one's risk of developing associated medical conditions down the road.
However, hormone imbalance signs often develop slowly over many years, meaning deficiencies can be present long before becoming apparent. That's why testing is so important.
The benefits of early detection and timely treatment cannot be overstated. Those who promptly treat hormone shortages often report life-changing improvements in energy, mood, sexual function, sleep quality and more. They may also avoid an increased susceptibility to diseases like diabetes, heart disease and osteoporosis.

Integrating rewarding outlets like these that lower stress, increase exercise and provide immune-lifting nourishment can magnify the revitalizing effects of hrt therapy.
While balancing key hormones is the foundation of refueling energy and health, one's daily habits impact outcomes. We educate patients on lifestyle upgrades that work synergistically with hormone replacement including:
Nutrition: Emphasizing whole, anti-inflammatory foods high in antioxidants like vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, whole grains and fatty fish amplifies the benefits of therapy by supplying vital micronutrients for enhanced hormone synthesis and detoxification. Limiting processed items is also key.
Exercise: Partaking in regular physical activity – ideally 30 minutes daily – not only burns calories for easier weight control, but also stimulates circulation and hormone production while easing emotional stress.
Sleep: Aim for 7 to 9 hours nightly. Lack of sufficient quality sleep negatively affects hormone secretion and metabolism. Establishing an unwinding pre-bedtime routine helps promote ample shut-eye for optimal hormone balancing.
Stress-Relief: Persistent high stress and elevated cortisol disrupts endocrine regulation. Allotting time for relaxing outlets like light yoga, meditation, massage or nature soundtracks lowers cortisol allowing other hormones to stabilize.
Hormone Health Institute provides all patients with in-depth counseling on evidence-based lifestyle upgrades for sustainably magnifying one’s hormone therapy results long term.
Hormone deficiencies can negatively impact nearly all aspects of one’s health. The unpleasant symptoms and increased disease susceptibility make timely testing and treatment critical.
