Hormone imbalances can develop at any age and affect both men and women. When hormone levels are too high or too low, you may experience symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, low libido, hot flashes, and sleep problems. Imbalances occur due to aging, stress, poor diet, toxins, infections, surgery, and other medical conditions.
Getting tested is important to identify deficiencies or excess hormones. Common hormones that become imbalanced include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, cortisol and insulin. The good news is hormone therapy can help restore optimal hormone levels so you feel healthy again.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can provide relief from troublesome menopause or andropause (male menopause) symptoms. BHRT matches your body’s natural hormones more closely than synthetic hormones. Prescribed by a specialist like our clinicians at New Beginnings HRT Clinic, customized bioidentical hormones help replenish what your body lacks for optimal physical and mental health.
With balanced hormones, many patients report improved energy levels. You may find daily tasks and exercise easier and have more stamina overall. Thyroid and testosterone deficiencies especially sap energy. Optimizing these key hormones can help boost your vitality.
Hormone imbalances frequently slow metabolism and cause weight gain. For example, low thyroid function reduces the body’s calorie-burning capacity. As metabolism normalizes with hormone therapy, it becomes easier to manage a healthy body weight.
Clients often seek help for insomnia and sleep problems related to hormone changes. By helping regulate circadian rhythms involved in sleep/wake cycles, BHRT enhances sleep quality. With restorative rest, patients have more energy and can better handle stress.
Mood disorders like anxiety and depression have been linked to perimenopause and menopause. Balancing estrogen, progesterone and other hormones leads to increased emotional wellbeing and enjoyment of life for many people. Restored hormone levels help stabilize moods.
Age-related hormone decline is associated with higher risks for obesity, heart disease, osteoporosis, dementia and certain cancers. Optimizing hormones as we age may help delay onset of these chronic diseases. Patients report greater health and quality of life with BHRT.
In both women and men, maintaining youthful hormone levels into older age appears key for healthy longevity. New Beginnings HRT Clinicians stay current on anti-aging research to best serve our patients.
New Beginnings HRT Clinicians personalize bioidentical hormone replacement plans to meet each patient’s needs and health goals. We spend extensive time listening and assessing to determine optimal types, doses and delivery methods of hormones for you.
Here’s what you can generally expect when starting hormone replacement therapy:
We’ll order blood, saliva and/or urine tests to pinpoint your hormone imbalances, deficiencies, and excesses. For best accuracy, labwork may be done at specific times of day or menstrual cycle. Test results guide development of your customized treatment plan.
The clinicians determine right types and doses of bioidentical estrogen, testosterone, thyroid medication or other hormones for you. We prescribe hormones in convenient tablets, capsules, troches, creams, injectables and pellet implants dosed to restore optimal levels.
Expect regular lab testing to ensure your hormone levels normalize—not too high or low. The clinicians adjust prescriptions accordingly until hormones stabilize in ideal ranges for you long-term. You’ll notice improvements in energy, sleep, weight, mood and more.
We provide dietary and other natural recommendations to help Balance hormones further, including specific exercise, stress management, targeted supplements and nutraceuticals. Healthy lifestyle choices enhance your hormone therapy results.
With an individualized approach, most patients find renewed health and vitality through hormone replacement. New Beginnings HRT Clinicians have the specialized training and experience to help you rebalance your body for optimal wellbeing.
There are several reasons why people develop hormone deficiencies and imbalances, including:
As we age, hormone levels naturally decline. For example, women’s estrogen and progesterone drop significantly at perimenopause and menopause while testosterone decreases slowly in aging men. Thyroid and growth hormones also decline. Supplementing with bioidentical hormones can offset deficiencies.
While aging causes gradual hormone changes, menopause and andropause speed this decline. During menopause, women’s reproductive capacity ceases leading to fast drop in estrogen/progesterone causing hot flashes, sleep disruption and other symptoms.
Similarly, andropause refers to age-related testosterone decline in men along with fatigue, low libido, erectile dysfunction and mood changes. Hormone therapy provides relief.
Chronic stress stimulates excess cortisol production which inhibits healthy function of other glands and hormones. Getting stress under better control while supporting adrenal glands’ resiliency allows hormones to rebalance.
Environmental toxins like plastics, pesticides, chemicals and heavy metals contain hormone-disrupting compounds. Reducing exposure along with diet and lifestyle changes promote hormone balance and detoxification.
Lack of nutrients, excess sugars, alcohol, smoking, and not enough exercise impair hormone function. By contrast, optimal nutrition, hydration, sleep and regular activity support glands’ and hormones’ proper synthesis and flow.
Making lifestyle adjustments enhances hormone therapy benefits. New Beginnings HRT Clinic guidance helps patients maximize results.
Certain illnesses like hypothalamic/pituitary disorders, diabetes, Cushing's or Addison’s disease directly impact glands governing hormone regulation and release. Where possible, addressing underlying disease while also replacing hormones can help resolve imbalances.
In most cases, identifying and addressing the root causes combined with skillful bioidentical hormone replacement yields significant patient improvements. New Beginnings HRT Clinic expertise optimizes outcomes.
