Hormone therapy involves using medications to supplement hormones when the body is not producing adequate amounts. It can provide relief from unpleasant symptoms and improve quality of life. This article from New Beginnings HRT Clinic in New Castle will explore hormone therapy in detail - the basics of how it works, what conditions it treats, its many benefits, and what to expect during treatment at our clinic. We aim to empower readers with comprehensive information to understand if hormone therapy is right for their needs.
Hormone deficiency can negatively impact energy, sleep, sexual function, mental health and more. Thankfully treatment is available. Read on to learn if you may benefit.
There are several common symptoms and conditions caused by hormone imbalance that can be improved with hormone replacement therapy (HRT):
Perimenopause and menopause cause estrogen levels to drop in women, leading to hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, irregular periods, trouble sleeping, and mood changes. Estrogen replacement therapy can provide relief by replacing what the body no longer makes.
As men age, testosterone levels fall, causing low energy, erectile dysfunction, decreased muscle mass, weight gain, irritability, and depression. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can help men feel youthful and energetic again by restoring testosterone to healthy levels.
Both low (hypothyroidism) and high (hyperthyroidism) thyroid hormone levels greatly impact metabolism, body temperature, energy, weight, heart health, and mood. Returning thyroid levels to an optimal range with medications can resolve unpleasant symptoms.
Low growth hormone causes increased body fat, decreased muscle mass and bone density, fatigue, poor concentration, and impacts cholesterol levels. Growth hormone replacement can help adults who are deficient rebuild strength.
Cortisol, progesterone, DHEA, melatonin and other hormones when out of balance can significantly reduce quality of life. Hormone therapy tailored to individual needs can help resolve deficiencies.
No matter what type of hormone imbalance you face, the medical providers at New Beginnings HRT Clinic have the advanced training and expertise to diagnose issues and create customized treatment plans to help you achieve hormone balance and feel your best again.
Hormones are chemical messengers that control nearly all processes in the body. They are produced by glands and released into the bloodstream. Common hormones include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, thyroid hormones, insulin, growth hormone and melatonin.
As we age or develop endocrine disorders, hormone production can become less than optimal, causing unpleasant symptoms. The goal of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is to supplement the hormones your body lacks to restore balance and optimal function. This is achieved through medications - the specifics depend on the hormone(s) involved:
HRT protocols aim to return hormone blood levels to a state of balance where symptoms resolve and people feel their best. This is achieved through careful dosing plus ongoing lab testing and monitoring for safety and efficacy. Our providers individualize therapy for optimal response.
When hormones are balanced and deficiencies corrected, profound improvements in quality of life are possible. Patients report better energy, sleep, sexual function, mental health, body composition, productivity and overall wellbeing. For many, it is life changing. Benefits of hormone replacement therapy can include:
Increased Energy and Less Fatigue
Enhanced Sex Drive and Sexual Function
Better Mood, Focus and Memory
Reduced Hot Flashes and Night Sweats
Decreased Body Fat and Increased Muscle Tone
Stronger Bones
Improved Cholesterol Levels
Better Sleep Quality
With customized treatment, most patients enjoy rapid relief from deficiencies and feel notably better within weeks to months. Consistent use then provides lasting relief as the body is returned to hormonal balance. Our clinic specializes in making this transformation possible.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals match their physical characteristics with their gender identity. While expected effects like fat redistribution are well-known, a lesser-known one is that it can change food preferences, as estrogen tends to increase sweet cravings while testosterone increases meat cravings.
The starting point is always a thorough evaluation of your unique health situation. We get to know you, gather your health history, discuss symptoms, screen for hormone imbalance, order lab testing, make a diagnosis, create a customized treatment plan just for you, ensure safe implementation, and schedule ongoing follow-ups to maximize treatment success. Here is what you can expect:
Comprehensive Initial Assessment
In our comfortable clinic environment, you will have ample time to speak one-on-one with a hormone therapy specialist. We want to hear your story, understand your symptoms, expectations, medical history and lifestyle to best determine if hormone imbalance could be negatively impacting your life. Any issues indicating treatment may significantly help will be noted.
Personalized Diagnostic Testing
Based on your presentation and symptoms, targeted lab tests will be ordered to accurately evaluate hormone levels plus indicators like cholesterol levels, red blood cell count, vitamin D, and inflammatory markers to hone in on any imbalances or deficiencies. Fast, convenient testing ensures you get results quickly.
Customized Hormone Replacement Protocols
If testing reveals hormone imbalance, your provider will outline a personalized treatment plan based on your body's specific needs to restore optimal levels. This integrates the latest medical research with their specialized training in replacement protocols tailored just for you.
Convenient Medication Access
Any prescribed hormones are quickly and easily accessible through our on-site state of the art compounding pharmacy featuring high quality bioidentical hormones. We strive to make filling your prescription and getting started with treatment as fast and seamless as possible.
Ongoing Monitoring and Support
Your treatment success and safety are our top priorities when beginning hormone therapy. We schedule short term follow-ups to evaluate your response, make dosage adjustments as needed, and ensure you feel your best as quickly as possible. Guidance on optimizing nutrition, supplements, sleep and exercise for hormone health is provided. You are in good hands!
We aim make the initial consultation informative and comfortable. Our goal is equipping you with the treatment you need to start feeling better right away with continued improvements as therapy progresses.
Do not wait to seek diagnosis and treatment if suspecting a possible hormone deficiency. Doing so allows continual declines in physical and mental health, and lost years of healthy living. By identifying imbalances early and beginning prompt treatment, patients often report rapid improvements within just days to weeks that grow with continued therapy. Symptoms ultimately resolve and overall wellness greatly increases.
The adverse impacts of deficiencies add up over time. The longer one waits, the more muscle loss occurs, metabolism slows, cognition suffers, disease risks increase, relationships fail, careers falter, and deterioration progresses. Diagnosis and early intervention keeps consequences to a minimum so one can resume thriving. Timing matters greatly.
Hormone therapy efficacy reduces at more extreme deficiencies. Studies show the lower hormone levels drop before beginning replacement, the lesser the extent to which some functions improve. For example bone density, sexual function, and muscle rebuilding have best outcomes the earlier therapy is provided after declines begin.
Avoid lengthy referrals and treatment delays. Seeing an endocrinologist for hormone concerns often involves very extended waits for appointments and treatment. Instead, specialized hormone therapy clinics like New Beginnings HRT Clinic offer immediate care, expedited testing, diagnosis and personalized treatment all under one roof; avoiding delays so you begin feeling better right away while the positive impact of therapy is maximized.
In summary, if less than optimal energy levels, mental clarity, body composition or sexual function are apparent, hormone testing and replacement at the earliest indications of imbalance may significantly restore wellness and vitality while preventing long term health consequences. Our medical providers specialize in safely optimizing hormone levels at the first signs of decline. Reach out today to begin your journey back to optimal wellness!
