What is hormone therapy?

Hormones are chemicals produced by endocrine glands. They control almost everything that happens in your body, from your metabolism and muscle mass to your sex drive and energy.

You need to maintain a precise balance of hormones for optimal body function and health. Many factors, however, including aging, diet, and disease, can disrupt your hormone balance and cause a variety of disruptive symptoms.

Two of the most common hormonal imbalances are testosterone and estrogen. These are primarily sex hormones, but they also contribute to a multitude of other body functions.

Our experienced BioTe certified medical supervisor and Reform Regenerative Health team offer customized hormone therapy to restore your hormone balance and optimize your health and vitality.

Why would I need hormone therapy?

Symptoms of a hormonal imbalance vary, depending on the affected hormone and the severity of your imbalance. For example, some of the common reasons that men might seek testosterone therapy include:

• Reduced muscle mass
• Low sex drive
• Erectile dysfunction
• Cognitive Clarity

Signs of a hormone imbalance in women include:

• Vaginal dryness and atrophy
• Painful sex
• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Cognitive Clarity
• Insomnia
• Fatigue 

Men and women both experience increased irritability, depression, weight gain, and fatigue with a hormone imbalance.

If any of these symptoms sound familiar, make an appointment to find out if a hormonal imbalance is the root cause of your discomfort and get the treatment you need.

What happens during hormone therapy?

Our experienced BioTe certified medical supervisor and Reform Regenerative Health team begin with a comprehensive consultation. They review your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle, and ask about how your symptoms affect your life.

They also provide a thorough physical exam and lab testing to check for signs of other diseases that could cause similar symptoms. The blood test measures your hormone levels to identify any imbalances.

If a hormone imbalance, like low testosterone or low estrogen, is the cause of your symptoms, our experienced BioTe certified medical supervisor and Reform Regenerative Health team prescribe hormone therapy. Hormone therapy is available through natural derived pellet insertion and natural nutraceuticals.

You have frequent appointments when you start hormone therapy. Our experienced BioTe certified medical supervisor and Reform Regenerative Health team need to monitor your hormone levels and symptoms. If necessary, they can adjust your prescription to optimize your health.

Is hormone therapy safe?

Yes. Advances in medicine have made hormone therapy safe and effective. However, you still need to check in occasionally with our experienced BioTe certified medical supervisor and Reform Regenerative Health team for follow up to monitor your health.

For example, you should have blood tests at least once every six months to ensure you maintain your hormone balance and health.
