Hormones like testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and DHEA play a crucial role in many of the body's functions. When one or more hormones are deficient, it can negatively impact energy, cognition, weight, sexual health, and mental wellness. The good news is identifying and addressing a hormone imbalance through science-based hormone therapy can help people feel like their best selves again.
The first step is getting the right tests from a hormonal specialist to determine which hormones are out of optimal range. At Harmony Health, our doctors are hormone therapy experts who use advanced testing to create customized treatment plans. We screen for deficiencies in key hormones and help patients restore balance through bioidentical hormones and lifestyle changes for improved well-being and vitality.
Low hormone levels can originate from natural aging, chronic stress, inflammation, infection, blood sugar dysregulation, nutrition issues, and other modifiable and non-modifiable factors. Harmony Health's hormone therapy doctors take a root cause approach to identify why patients developed a deficiency so the underlying contributor(s) can also be addressed whenever possible.
Male patients commonly experience low testosterone starting around age 30. Symptoms include low libido, erectile dysfunction, depressed mood, fatigue, muscle loss, weight gain, poor sleep, hot flashes, and reduced sports performance. Research shows restoring testosterone levels in men to an optimal range can reverse symptoms and support overall health and longevity.
Perimenopause and menopause onset leads to falling estrogen and progesterone levels in women, resulting in symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, anxiety, trouble sleeping, weight gain, thinner skin and hair, and brain fog. Supplementing with bioidentical hormones helps ease these symptoms for improved comfort and quality of life.
There are multiple effective options for delivering hormones: oral pills, sublingual drops, pellets inserted under the skin lasting several months, patches and creams applied topically, and hormone injection treatment protocols lasting weeks or months per round. Harmony Health experts determine which method is best for each patient's needs and lifestyle for convenient, consistent dosing.
Harmony Health's providers emphasize diet and lifestyle changes to help patients achieve peak results on their treatment plans. We offer customized nutrition and supplement guidance because what we eat and how we live impacts hormone balance and production. Stress management is also important for cortisol regulation. We educate patients on small steps that compound over time.
