Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate many essential bodily functions and processes. When hormone levels become too high or too low, you may experience symptoms associated with a hormone imbalance. Some common signs include:
Detecting and addressing hormone deficiencies in a timely manner is crucial for maintaining wellness and preventing future health complications.
Some hormones that often fall out of balance include:
Testosterone is a sex hormone present in both men and women. Low testosterone can lead to:
Falling estrogen levels in women may produce:
Thyroid hormones also frequently become imbalanced, resulting in metabolism changes. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help restore optimal hormone levels.
Hormone therapy refers to the administration of hormones to supplement low levels. Therapies can take the form of pills, patches, gels and injections.
Hormone replacement offers an array of benefits:
Boosting hormones alleviates issues associated with hormonal deficiencies like fatigue, low libido and hot flashes. You'll feel more energized, mentally sharp and like your old self again.
Optimal hormone concentrations promote wellness and help prevent certain health conditions. Estrogen therapy can lower women's risk for osteoporosis and heart disease for example.
Balancing hormones enhances overall wellbeing and quality of life. Patients report improvements in mood, relationships and ability to stay active with consistent treatment.
If you suspect a hormone imbalance, the first step is to undergo comprehensive lab testing to pinpoint where your levels stand. Vitality Renewal Clinic partners with top local facilities offering affordable screens.
Based on results, your physician can develop a customized treatment plan involving hormone pills, patches, shots or other delivery methods to return levels to normal ranges.
"Getting my hormone levels optimized has given me my life back - I feel 20 years younger!" - Jane P., Vitality Renewal Clinic Patient
Protocols often start with a short burst of therapy to restore balance quickly, followed by a maintenance dose. You should notice improvements soon after beginning treatment!
Hormone therapy works best when combined with healthy lifestyle choices that support wellbeing:
Eating a nutritious, balanced diet gives your body the building blocks it needs to function optimally. Limit sugar and alcohol which can lead to crashes.
Regular activity promotes circulation, manages weight and relieves stress - all of which help balance hormones. Aim for 150 minutes per week.
Popular local fitness centers include:
High, ongoing stress strains systems and commonly disrupts hormone equilibrium. Make time for relaxing activities like meditation, massage or strolling through local gems like Milton Gardens.
Good sleep enables hormone regulation and renewal. Adults should get 7-9 hours nightly. Maintain a consistent bedtime routine in a cool, dark quiet space.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals match their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Surprisingly, some of the first pioneers in this field were endocrinologists at university gender clinics in the 1940s-60s trying to find ways to alleviate gender dysphoria. Their work laid the foundation for today's medical transition options.
