Hormone imbalances can develop at any age and affect both men and women. Some common signs of a hormone imbalance include:
Feeling constantly tired, lacking motivation, and struggling to get through daily tasks could indicate a hormone problem. Hormones like cortisol, thyroid, and testosterone impact energy levels.
Hormones influence sleep-wake cycles. Imbalances can make it hard to fall or stay asleep. This leads to daytime fatigue.
When certain hormones are low, the body may store more fat. This often settles around the waistline. Estrogen and testosterone help regulate healthy body composition.
Some people are more sensitive to hot or cold temperatures when hormones are off. This could mean frequently feeling cold or hot with no clear reason why.
Hormones affect neurotransmitters that control moods. Low hormones can contribute to anxiety, irritability, and depression.
Additional signs like hair loss, headaches, muscle loss, low libido, night sweats, and brain fog could also indicate a hormone problem.
Catching and correcting hormone issues promptly through testing and treatment can help prevent long-term effects on health and quality of life.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) restores hormones to optimal levels, leading to widespread benefits:
Balancing key hormones helps normalize metabolic function, protein synthesis, and calorie burning. This makes it easier to manage a healthy body weight.
With improved metabolic and hormone responses, the body becomes better at releasing stored fats. HRT specifically targets abdominal fat.
Optimal testosterone, growth hormone and IGF-1 promote muscle growth and physical strength while slowing age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia).
HRT alleviates hormone-related mood disorders and cognitive decline. Patients report better outlook, energy, productivity, and self-confidence.
Low testosterone, estrogen and other sex hormones reduce libido and performance. Replacement therapy often restores normal sexual desire and capabilities.
Estrogen plays a key role in bone health. HRT prevents excessive bone mineral loss in both sexes as they age.
Balancing hormones optimizes cholesterol profiles and blood pressure. This lowers risks for heart attack, stroke and related issues.
Through regulation of cell growth, DNA protection, and oxidative stress, hormone optimization helps combat various effects and diseases of aging.
Since hormone imbalance symptoms can be vague, testing helps identify specific deficiencies. Renew Hormone Institute conducts advanced hormone tests to measure:
Levels of estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, and progesterone offer insight into reproductive health and sexual function.
Thyroid, cortisol, insulin, and growth hormone assess metabolic activity and weight management.
Vitamin D, vitamin B12, CRP, and homocysteine reveal nutrition status and inflammation driving hormone dysfunction.
Comprehensive testing also includes PSA (prostate), hemoglobin A1C, liver and kidney function, lipids, and other health indicators affected by imbalances.
These quantifiable lab results allow our clinicians to determine exact hormone deficiencies and personalized treatments for each patient. We emphasize comprehensive diagnostics before rapidly progressing to therapies.
Once hormone testing is complete, Renew Hormone Institute offers various hormone treatment modalities based on each patient's needs:
Bioidentical hormones - like testosterone, estrogen, progesterone - are identical in molecular structure to those made in the body. Sourced from plant extracts, these natural hormones offer the closest match and highest tolerability.
Key nutritional cofactors like vitamins D, B12, zinc, and magnesium help optimize hormone balance and utilization. Anti-inflammatory supplements also counteract disorders causing imbalances.
In select cases, FDA-approved synthetic versions of certain hormones effectively restore functioning. These include levothyroxine, liothyronine and hydrocortisone.
Time-released testosterone and estrogen pellets placed under the skin maintain consistent long-term hormone levels compared to patches or pills. Pellets last 3-6 months.
Lifestyle measures like improved diet, sleep habits, stress reduction, and targeted exercise complement hormone optimization for better adherence and patient experience.
We offer flexible programs using single hormones or combination therapies fit to each person. Follow-up testing confirms treatment effectiveness. Our goal is helping patients consistently achieve prime balance for maximum anti-aging benefits.
While long-term hormone therapy is controversial, a 2020 study found short-term hormone therapy for up to 2 years provided heart benefits and improved physical functioning for recently postmenopausal women without increasing health risks.
