Hormones like testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, cortisol and others regulate many vital processes in the body. When hormones fall out of balance, numerous unpleasant symptoms can occur affecting quality of life.
Some common symptoms of hormone deficiency or imbalance include:
Catching and addressing hormonal issues early on can help avoid long-term health consequences.
Maintaining proper hormonal balance provides many benefits such as:
Routine hormone level testing can help uncover imbalances before major problems develop. HormoVital offers in-depth hormone panel tests covering key hormones:
Low testosterone or “low T” is common in men over 30. Symptoms include low libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, depression, muscle loss and weight gain.
Getting testosterone levels tested with a simple blood draw is recommended to catch this issue early. HormoVital provides complete testosterone tests and replacement therapies tailored to the individual.
Like testosterone in men, declining estrogen during menopause can significantly impact women’s quality of life. Hot flashes, vaginal dryness, urinary issues, trouble sleeping and emotional changes are common.
HormoVital offers female hormone testing to measure estrogen and help guide individualized treatment including hormone therapy, supplements, diet and lifestyle changes to relieve unpleasant menopausal symptoms.
Thyroid issues, elevated cortisol, low progesterone and other hormone abnormalities can also cause problems. HormoVital provides targeted blood tests to evaluate levels of key hormones accurately.
Based on hormone level results, we create customized plans to restore balance through bioidentical hormones, medications or natural approaches. Follow up testing allows adjusting treatment to optimal effect.
Balancing hormones often requires an experienced practitioner. At HormoVital, board certified medical providers offer science-based hormone therapies and complementary treatment approaches.
For men with clinically low testosterone, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can bring transformative improvements in symptoms. HormoVital custom blends bioidentical testosterone preparations optimized for each patient.
TRT is administered via injection, pellet implants or gels/creams based on individual factors like lifestyle, preferences and cost. We carefully monitor progress and adjust dosing to reach therapeutic treatment goals while minimizing side effects.
Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) for women provides natural estrogen, progesterone and/or testosterone identical to the body’s hormones to reduce menopause symptoms and promote better health.
Made from plant sources, bioidentical hormones are molecularly the same as endogenous hormones, helping explain their excellent safety profile. BHRT delivery methods include pellet implants, creams/gels, pills and patches.
In addition to sex hormones, managing cortisol, thyroid, DHEA and other essential hormones can relieve symptoms, prevent disease and enhance wellbeing.
HormoVital offers comprehensive care including prescription medications, nutraceuticals, diet changes and evidence based complementary approaches to balance hormones holistically.
Our caring medical staff partners with patients throughout treatment to ensure all needs are met on the path back to optimal wellness. We provide comprehensive long term management, education and support.
Many factors can disrupt the body’s intricate hormone regulation pathways over time. Common reasons for hormone deficiency include:
As part of natural aging, critical hormone production slowly declines year after year for most people. This causes “subclinical” deficiency not yet severe enough to cause obvious disease but still implicated in age-related health decline.
Excess body fat causes inflammation and hormonal disruptions including lower testosterone, higher estrogen and altered thyroid, cortisol, insulin and other hormone levels. Managing weight is key for maintaining hormonal balance.
Many chronic health conditions and essential medications can negatively impact endocrine function over years of use. Its important for physicians to regularly monitor hormones in chronic disease.
Severe trauma from events like car accidents can damage hormone producing glands like testes. Removal of organs involved in hormone regulation also frequently causes hormone deficiency requiring treatment.
Chronic stress levels, inadequate sleep, unhealthy diets, smoking and excess alcohol all tax body systems including hormone pathways. Optimizing lifestyle helps sustain hormone resiliency.
Hormonal testing can reveal valuable insights even for those without clear symptoms. For example, testing thyroid hormones in asymptomatic people has enabled earlier detection and treatment of conditions like hypothyroidism, potentially preventing later health issues. Proactive screening provides a window into the body's complex systems.
Assessing hormone status involves blood, saliva or urine tests. HormoVital provides convenient local testing with fast results.
Blood testing allows direct sensitive measurement of circulating free and total hormone levels. This is the gold standard for evaluating hormone status and gauging treatment efficacy. HormoVital uses certified labs for proven accurate results.
For select hormones like cortisol and DHEA, saliva tests non-invasively measure bioavailable concentrations. Saliva testing is especially helpful for continuous daily hormone monitoring to uncover patterns and optimize treatments.
Urinary hormone metabolite assessments can complement blood testing in certain situations by providing additional insight into clearance rates and metabolism. HormoVital employs urine tests when clinically warranted.
Testing is typically required at baseline prior to starting therapy, repeated early on to verify doses, and periodically thereafter to ensure ideal hormone balance is achieved and maintained long-term.
