As we age, it's common for hormone levels to decline, leading to unpleasant symptoms. An anti-aging doctor can evaluate hormone levels and help patients restore balance with anti-aging therapies.
Some common signs of hormone deficiency include:
An anti-aging doctor can accurately diagnose hormone imbalance through blood tests and help patients regain optimal levels through anti-aging therapies. Restoring hormone balance leads to improved energy, sex drive, mood, cognitive function, and overall vitality.
Hormone therapy, also called hormone replacement therapy (HRT), involves supplementing hormones that decline due to aging or other factors. It can provide immense benefits when properly administered under medical supervision.
Here are some basics about hormone therapy:
Our experienced anti-aging doctors tailor treatment plans to each patient's unique needs and closely monitor progress. We help patients restore hormonal balance and reverse undesirable age-related decline.
We exclusively use bioidentical hormones - identical molecular copies of endogenous human hormones. They are structurally the same as hormones made naturally in the body.
Benefits of bioidentical hormones:
We offer hormones in multiple convenient forms - injections, gels, pellets, and creams. Our anti-aging doctors work with each patient to determine the optimal delivery method.
The major hormones we evaluate and commonly treat include:
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone. It:
Testosterone therapy can provide dramatic benefits related to libido, sexual function, physical vitality, and mental sharpness in men with low levels.
Estrogen is the primary female sex hormone. It:
Balanced estrogen levels support feminine characteristics and offer widespread protective effects on women's health.
The thyroid produces hormones that control metabolism. Insufficient thyroid hormones lead to:
Optimizing thyroid hormone levels revs up metabolic function, energy, and endurance.
Diagnosing hormone imbalance begins with targeted lab testing, including:
| Hormone Tested | Specific Tests |
|---|---|
| Testosterone | Total, Free/Bioavailable |
| Estrogen | Estradiol, Estrone |
| Thyroid | TSH, Free T4, Free T3 |
| Additional Hormones | DHEA-S, IGF-1, Cortisol |
We use top reference labs and thoroughly review results alongside patients' symptoms to create customized treatment plans.
Follow-up testing is conducted throughout treatment to ensure hormones are balanced and improvements are on track.
When hormone deficiency goes untreated for extended times, patients risk developing more severe symptoms that increasingly impact quality of life.
Research shows prolonged hormone deficiency also elevates risks for:
| Health Risks Associated with Prolonged Hormone Deficiency |
|---|
| Cardiovascular disease |
| Osteoporosis (bone loss) |
| Weight gain and obesity |
| Diabetes |
| Neurological changes |
| Certain cancers |
Restoring balance promptly reduces these elevated health risks in addition to relieving uncomfortable symptoms.
