When hormone levels drop below optimal ranges, the body begins showing deficiency signs and symptoms. These can negatively impact quality of life if not addressed through timely diagnosis and treatment.
While symptoms vary by individual, below are some common indications of low testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid (T3/T4), cortisol, hGH, and other hormones:
These symptoms negatively impact productivity, relationships, and overall well-being. Restoring optimal hormone balance improves physical and mental health.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) helps both men and women whose hormone production has slowed or become imbalanced with age or due to medical conditions.
Ideal candidates include people experiencing multiple symptoms of hormone decline who have had blood work confirming their hormone levels are suboptimal.
HRT is also often prescribed for menopausal women to relieve symptoms like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, low libido, and mood swings during the transition to menopause.
Customized Bioidentical HRT restores youthful hormonal balance, thereby relieving deficiency symptoms and allowing people to regain health, vitality, and quality of life as they age.
Getting tested is essential both to confirm a suspected hormone imbalance and monitor your levels during treatment.
