Hormone therapy is the use of hormones to help treat medical conditions caused by hormonal imbalances in the body. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can alleviate unpleasant symptoms and help people feel healthier. Balance Health Clinic offers customized hormone therapy plans to help the residents of Carleton and surrounding areas address their specific hormonal health needs.
The first step in any hormone therapy plan is diagnosing if and where hormone levels are imbalanced. Common symptoms that may point to a hormonal imbalance include:
However, the best way to confirm hormonal imbalances is through hormone tests. Balance Health Clinic works with local labs to provide comprehensive testing panels covering key hormones like testosterone, estrogen, cortisol, thyroid hormones, and more. We help patients understand their lab results and determine if hormone replacement therapy may help resolve any deficiencies or excesses.
Getting hormones in optimal ranges again can provide many quality of life benefits. Patients report improvements like:
Balanced hormones often restore normal energy levels, reducing fatigue.
Hormones like serotonin influence emotions, so balanced hormones prevent mood swings.
Several hormones impact appetite and fat storage - correcting imbalances facilitates weight loss.
Some hormones assist immune cells, so balanced levels prevent frequent illnesses.
Hormones cues the body to sleep - fixing imbalances resolves insomnia for many people.
Once we've diagnosed hormone imbalances, Balance Health Clinic customizes treatment plans to suit each patient's needs. We offer therapies including:
Testosterone is crucial for physical and mental health in both men and women. Balance Health Clinic provides comprehensive TRT programs incorporating:
We offer testosterone in various formulations like gels, patches and injections based on patient preferences and insurance coverage.
An under or overactive thyroid causes weight, energy and mood problems. We offer natural desiccated thyroid hormones or synthetic T3/T4 to optimize thyroid function.
Healthy adrenal glands producing sufficient cortisol prevent fatigue. We provide adrenal support supplements and testing to resolve adrenal fatigue.
Balance Health Clinic helps women find the right contraceptive method balancing effectiveness, side effects, and hormone impact.
We customize combination, progestin-only or non-hormonal birth control plans.
BHRT uses lab-made hormones structurally identical to those naturally occurring. This may have less side effects than synthetic hormones for some patients.
We offer customized BHRT including hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA.
Hormone therapy was originally developed to help manage symptoms of menopause in women, but studies have shown it may also help improve memory and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. The hormones estrogen and progestin appear to protect brain cells and keep nerve cell connections healthy. This potential benefit in preventing cognitive decline is an unexpected upside of a treatment often viewed just for relieving menopausal discomforts.
The sooner hormonal issues get diagnosed and treated, the faster patients feel relief from disruptive symptoms. Hormone changes also gradually damage health, so prompt treatment prevents future complications like heart disease, osteoporosis and diabetes triggered by unhealthy hormone levels.
Balance Health Clinic provides responsive care - new patients get consultations rapidly to initiate therapy ASAP. We also orders labs quickly and optimize treatment plans promptly based on results.
TRT relieves symptoms in just a few weeks for most men. It takes 3-6 months for some regenerative benefits like renewed energy, better sleep and improved mental health.
Starting therapy quickly maximizes these rewards. Balance Health Clinic streamlines the process so patients derive benefits rapidly.
