Hormone therapy involves using medications to supplement hormones that your body may be lacking. It can provide relief from unpleasant symptoms of hormone deficiency and help you regain optimal health.
Hormone levels naturally decline with age, leading to changes like fatigue, weight gain, and loss of sex drive. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can safely rebalance your hormones to make you feel more youthful and energized.
Bioidentical hormone therapy uses plant-based hormones identical to the ones made by your own body. It is customized to match your individual hormonal needs through blood testing.
Renewed Balance Clinic specializes in all forms of hormone treatment using cutting edge protocols overseen by experienced practitioners. We help patients optimize energy, cognition, body composition and quality of life through precision hormone balance.
Hormone deficiency can occur at any age for various reasons. Some signs suggesting you may benefit from hormone therapy include:
Bioidentical hormones can also benefit those looking to optimize fitness, healthspan and quality of life. Our practitioners help create custom treatment plans for your unique needs and goals.
Hormone replacement therapy typically involves supplementation with some combination of:
Treatment begins with blood testing to identify any hormone deficiencies. This establishes your baseline to customize treatment dosage and delivery methods.
Follow-up testing occurs throughout therapy to ensure hormones are maintained at optimal levels. Most patients report increased energy, stable moods, improved body composition, enhanced libido and better sleep soon after starting treatment.
There are multiple options for taking bioidentical hormones including:
Creams and gels allow for easy adjustment of doses while pellets provide longer lasting relief between treatments. Pellet implant protocols often start with weekly doses, tapering down to every few months for maintenance.
Our practitioners help determine which methods are right for you based on factors like convenience, avoidance of spikes/dips and desired release period. Most patients end up using a combination delivery methods.
There are several types of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy available. The most common include:
Testosterone therapy (TRT) treats low testosterone (low T) which becomes more prevalent with age. Symptoms include low libido, ED, fatigue, mood disorders, loss of muscle mass and bone density.
TRT is available in forms like gels, injections, pellets and more. It helps restore healthy testosterone levels to reverse symptoms of deficiency. TRT also provides anti-aging benefits including enhanced strength, virility, cognition and heart health.
Estrogen therapy relieves menopause symptoms like hot flashes, sleep disruption, vaginal atrophy, accelerated aging and weight gain. It may be taken alone or combined with testosterone.
Available forms of estrogen replacement include oral tablets, topical creams, subdermal pellets and localized vaginal inserts like rings or suppositories. Estrogen helps maintains youthful skin texture, bone density, pelvic health and emotional regulation.
Even minor thyroid deficiency can cause weight gain, hair loss, fatigue, depression and muscle weakness despite normal thyroid lab ranges. Thyroid hormone replacement works to resolve low thyroid symptoms using oral tablets or compounded thyroid medications.
Proper thyroid balance with T3/T4 thyroid replacement helps optimize metabolism, allowing easier weight maintenance along with regained energy and mental clarity.
Levels of human growth hormone (HGH) decline rapidly after age 30. Low GH causes decreased muscle mass, bone density loss, weight gain, thinning skin/hair, low energy, mood disorders and disrupted deep sleep patterns.
Growth hormone therapy utilizes daily GH injections to raise IGF-1 levels. This stimulates enhanced performance, body composition, injury recovery speed, immunity and youthful looks. Although not officially considered a form of HRT, GH therapy provides powerful anti-aging effects.
The adrenal hormone DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) peaks around age 25 then declines. Since DHEA boosts immunity, metabolism, sexual health, cognition and mood, later life DHEA deficiency can accelerate multiple aspects of aging.
DHEA therapy restores levels to improve energy, burning of fat, libido, skin quality and sense of well-being. It also helps strengthen bone density and muscle mass. Convenient delivery methods include oral DHEA pills or sublingual drops.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals match their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Surprisingly, for transgender women, hormone therapy has been found to actually increase brain connectivity in regions related to visual and auditory processing, which leads to transgender women reporting improved eyesight and hearing after beginning hormone treatment.
The first step is diagnostic blood testing to identify which hormones are imbalanced. Renewed Balance Clinic provides state-of-the-art hormone tests through our lab partners.
Initial testing establishes your baseline hormones levels for comparison throughout treatment. Follow-up testing occurs periodically to ensure optimal dosing tailored to your changing needs.
Our experienced practitioners use test results to create a customized plan based on your symptoms, health history and goals. We craft flexible long term solutions involving proper nutrition, medications, fitness and lifestyle optimization for sustained benefits.
Patients typically report increased energy, more restful sleep, balanced mood and enhanced cognition soon after starting therapy. Further improvements to muscle gain, fat loss, skin quality and deeper wellness manifest gradually over subsequent months.
Proper hormone therapy is not a quick fix but rather an ongoing journey towards regaining and maintaining peak vitality. Complimentary modalities like vitamin injections, peptides and nutritional supplements further help amplify and stabilize results. Our clinics offer access to all these modalities for comprehensive hormone optimization.

There are several potential causes leading to hormone decline, including:
While aging eventually causes some degree of hormone loss, other factors like lifestyle, diet and environment determine the severity and speed of deficiency progression.
Steps you can take to prevent or reduce hormone decline include eating nutritious whole foods, managing stress, exercising, minimizing toxin exposure and prioritizing regular sleep. Testing helps catch emerging deficiencies early on when they are more easily corrected.
Since hormones communicate between tissues to sustain homeostasis, declining hormones cause systemwide deterioration - not just sex related problems. Symptoms encompass multiple domains:
Catching and correcting hormone dysfunction early on prevents full blown symptoms along with disease progression in the long run.
Since low hormones cause vague nonspecific symptoms, clinical testing is essential to detect emerging deficits allowing early intervention for best results. Standard lab reference ranges are not precise enough to identify dysfunction in earlier stages.
We utilize advanced diagnostics like LC-MS to precisely measure "free" active hormones along with nutritionally modulating levels when beneficial instead of just aiming for "normal" ranges.

Beneficial effects typically begin within weeks but peak results may take 3-6 months. Everyone responds at different rates depending on factors like age, diet, fitness level, stress, medication regime and more. An ultra healthy lifestyle amplifies and accelerates therapy benefits.
After an in depth history and exam, blood tests will be ordered to measure baseline hormones along with other key biomarkers based on symptoms. Test results are then meticulously reviewed and a customized treatment plan created based on your goals, budget and preferences. Follow up consultations involve assessment of progress, medication adjustments as needed until your goals are met.
Bioidenticals are structurally identical to endogenous human hormones, allowing more seamless physiological effects. They are customized based on testing whereas one-size-fits-all synthetic hormones are generically dosed. Bioidentical regimens aim to mimic natural rhythms vs just elevating total levels. Ultimately bioidenticals provide safer, shorter and longer acting options that more closely restore natural hormone dynamics.
