Hormone therapy - Rebalance Clinic

Hormone therapy is a complex yet highly effective treatment for correcting hormone imbalances and improving patients' quality of life. When administered properly by a qualified hormone therapy specialist, the benefits of hormone therapy are immense. At Rebalance Clinic, we specialize in crafting customized hormone therapy protocols to help patients regain optimal hormonal balance.

Assessing Hormone Levels

The starting point for any hormone therapy is assessing current hormone levels through blood tests and evaluating symptoms. We utilize state-of-the-art testing methods to get comprehensive profiles of key hormones like testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, thyroid hormones, etc. Deficiencies or excesses in any of these hormones can cause distressing symptoms that disrupt quality of life.

Table 1: Common Symptoms of Hormone Imbalances

Hormone Symptoms of Excess Symptoms of Deficiency
Testosterone Acne, aggression, insomnia Low libido, depression, fatigue
Estrogen Weight gain, headaches Vaginal dryness, hot flashes
Progesterone Anxiety, acne Irregular periods, insomnia
Cortisol Weight gain, high blood pressure Fatigue, low blood pressure
Thyroid (T3/T4) Rapid heartbeat, insomnia Fatigue, weight gain, hair loss

At Rebalance Clinic, our holistic hormone doctors dig deep into patients' signs, symptoms, and test results to uncover the root hormonal imbalances causing health issues. We create fully customized treatment plans to restore optimal balance.

Fundamentals of Hormone Therapy

Once hormone imbalances are identified, we develop bioidentical hormone therapy protocols customized to each patient's needs.

Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. This allows them to bind properly with hormone receptors and mimic the activity of endogenous hormones. Structurally distinct synthetic hormones do not confer the same benefits.

At Rebalance Clinic, we utilize cutting-edge therapies like testosterone injections, DHEA pills, estrogen patches, progesterone creams, and other delivery methods to efficiently elevate lagging hormone levels. The goal is to alleviate deficiency symptoms and help patients feel healthy, energetic, and youthful again.

We also provide nutritional supplements, diet changes, and lifestyle recommendations to support optimal hormone balance naturally. Holistic protocols produce the best patient outcomes.

Hormone Therapy Monitoring

A key aspect of hormone therapy is continued monitoring of hormone levels and symptoms to assess treatment efficacy and make dosage adjustments as needed. We schedule regular blood tests and follow-up evaluations to ensure patients are progressing well. Therapy is tailored over months and years for maximum benefits.

Diagnosing Hormone Imbalances

Many symptoms can signal hormone issues, but objective blood tests are needed to confirm where imbalances exist. Rebalance Clinic provides cutting-edge diagnostic testing to uncover the root issues disrupting hormonal health.

We screen critical hormones like testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, DHEA, thyroid hormones T3 and T4, and more using our in-house lab or trusted third-party labs. Deficiencies or excesses pinpoint areas to target treatment.

Testing key hormones over time is also essential for monitoring patient progress on therapy. We track improvements in objective hormone levels in tandem with subjective symptom relief. This enables truly customized treatment fine-tuning over months and years for optimal restoration of balance and vitality.

Dangers of Left Untreated Hormone Imbalances

Hormones regulate virtually all body systems and biological processes. When certain hormones are significantly out of balance for prolonged periods, the downstream impacts on health can be severe. Unfortunately, common hormone dysfunctions often go undiagnosed.

Left untreated, the dangers include:

Catching and correcting hormone imbalances early is crucial for sustaining wellness as we age! Schedule a screening at Rebalance Clinic today to get ahead of any issues. Our expertise ensures prompt, accurate diagnoses and treatment.

Restore hormonal balance, regain health at Rebalance Clinic.

Innovations in Hormone Therapy

The field of hormone therapy has expanded greatly in recent years thanks to extensive research and technology innovations. More convenient and targeted treatment options now exist for improving testosterone, estrogen, thyroid and other hormonal balances.

Bioidentical Hormones

Traditionally, non-human formulations like conjugated estrogens from the urine of pregnant horses were used in hormone therapy. Today, bioidentical hormones identical in molecular structure to native human hormones are standard. This reduces side effects and enhances treatment safety and efficacy.

Diverse Delivery Methods

Beyond pills and creams, modern delivery methods like subcutaneous testosterone pellets, DHEA troches, estrogen patches, and testosterone injections allow for steady hormone release over weeks or months. This maintains stable levels in the body without inconvenient daily dosing. Sustained-release pellets and injections often provide remarkable symptom relief with minimal need to remember daily pills.

Advanced Diagnostic Testing

Innovative blood, saliva, and urine testing panels now enable evaluation of numerous hormones conveniently and cost-effectively. This facilitates correct diagnoses of hormone disorders. Genetic testing also uncovers predispositions to conditions like estrogen dominance that can inform preventive steps.

Rebalance Clinic utilizes cutting-edge diagnostic methods and advanced hormone therapies tailored to each patient's needs and lifestyle. We help patients benefit from the latest innovations in the field while avoiding one-size-fits-all approaches.

How Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Transformed My Life

As a busy 57-year-old CEO and mother of three, I struggled with menopausal symptoms for years before finally seeking help. The hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness were miserable enough. But it was the crushing fatigue, mental fog, and despair that finally became unbearable.

I met with four doctors and even underwent risky hormone blocker injections before discovering Rebalance Clinic. Right away, the staff impressed me with their warmth, patience, and deep knowledge of menopause and bioidentical hormone therapy (BHT).

They uncovered my underlying issue – severe estrogen dominance that conventional doctors had overlooked. Through saliva testing and a detailed history, Dr. Thompson constructed a personalized BHT regimen with bioidentical estriol and progesterone creams, targeted supplements, and diet changes to rebalance my hormones holistically.

Within two months, my symptoms began improving drastically. Hot flashes diminished, energy returned, and mood boosted. I felt like myself again! Four years later, I remain symptom-free and vibrant thanks to Rebalance Clinic' ongoing fine-tuning of my BHT protocol.

I tell all my menopausal friends about the specialists at Rebalance Clinic. Their expertise and attentive care give women their lives back. I'm so grateful!

Practical Tips for New Hormone Therapy Patients

Starting hormone therapy can seem complex. Estrogen creams? Testosterone injections? Many patients feel uncertain about properly administering therapies. Rebalance Clinic coaches patients from day one until they are comfortable self-managing care at home. We also share practical tips like:

Storing hormones properly: Refrigeration often needed for gels. Keep pills/creams away from heat and moisture.

Rotating patch sites: Prevent skin irritation by applying patches to different body areas daily.

Maintaining shot schedules: Mark calendars to remember next injections. Most testosterone shots given every 7-14 days.

Tracking symptoms/progress: Record symptom changes and energy/mood on paper or apps to determine if dosage tweaks are needed.

Our nurses demonstrate proper injection techniques, provide video resources, and answer any therapy questions. We support patients through each step of the hormone balancing journey.

Rebalance Clinic' Holistic Therapy Model

Hormone issues never occur in isolation. Imbalances both stem from and cause disruptions across body systems. That's why quick fixes with synthetic hormones often fail or cause complications.

The physicians at Rebalance Clinic emphasize holistic protocols that heal root causes of dysfunction, not just symptoms. We uncover connections between hormone issues, nutrition, stress levels, genetics, toxins, infections, and more.

Then we develop integrative treatment plans combining:

▪ Bioidentical HRT: Lab-matched estrogens, androgens, peptides

▪ Nutritional therapies: Targeted diets, vitamins, minerals

▪ Adrenal support: Adaptogens, stress reduction

▪ Detoxification: Sauna therapy, antioxidants

▪ Microbiome optimization: Probiotics, prebiotics

This interconnected approach balances hormones and sustains wellness more effectively long-term without adverse effects. Patients become truly thriving again.

Bioidentical Hormones vs Synthetic Hormones

Table 2: Comparison of Bioidentical and Synthetic Hormones

Bioidentical Hormones Synthetic Hormones
Identical to endogenous human hormones Unique lab-fabricated structures
Bind properly to hormone receptors May not bind correctly to receptors
More natural effects on the body Higher rate of side effects
Used in creams, gels, pellets Used in pills, patches, injections
Steady release, less fluctuating levels Peaks and crashes in levels
Support bone, heart, and brain health Linked to health risks with prolonged use

Bioidentical hormones -- especially estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone -- are the gold standard in hormone therapy today thanks to their safety and effectiveness. Made from plant sources, bioidentical hormones match endogenous human hormones at the molecular level. This allows proper binding with cellular receptors to mimic natural hormonal actions.

In contrast, non-bioidentical synthetics like birth control pills often cause side effects. Their altered chemical conformations bind irregularly with receptors, triggering imbalances. Over time, synthetic estrogen and testosterone heighten stroke, cancer, and heart attack risks for some patients.

For the best safety and relief of menopausal or andropausal symptoms, bioidentical hormone therapy from trained practitioners like those at Rebalance Clinic is critical. We provide patients with the right bioidentical hormones in proper balances.

Mental Health Support Through Hormone Therapy

Hormonal fluctuations not only drive physical symptoms but heavily impact mental health and cognition. Imbalances of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and testosterone often manifest in:

These hormone-induced mood issues respond exceptionally well to proper balancing through replacement therapies, lifestyle changes, and stress reduction.

At Rebalance Clinic, we have helped thousands of patients overcome anxiety, depression, brain fog, and more by correcting the underlying hormonal causes. Our mental well-being relies critically on our biochemistry staying in sync. We're here to help you or your loved one break free from hormone-driven mental health disruptions and reclaim joyful stability!

Hormones and Healthy Aging

Aging inevitably shifts our hormonal balance, especially key hormones like growth hormone, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and DHEA that promote vitality. Typically beginning in our 30s and 40s, gradual declines in these hormones lead to symptoms like low energy, weight gain, poor sleep that reduce quality of life.

Integrative physicians skilled in anti-aging and longevity medicine, like those at Rebalance Clinic, understand these hormonal dynamics. We help patients slow or reverse symptomatic aging through science-based protocols including:

▪ Hormone optimization therapy with bioidentical hormones

▪ Peptide therapies to stimulate collagen, tissue repair

▪ IV therapies with antioxidants, vitamins
