Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate many critical bodily functions. When hormone levels decline, it can lead to distressing symptoms and increased health risks. Many factors can contribute to low hormone levels, including:
Aging - Natural hormone production typically peaks around age 20-30, then steadily declines. By age 40-50, many adults experience symptoms of low testosterone, estrogen, thyroid hormones or other deficiencies.
Chronic diseases - Conditions like diabetes, autoimmune disorders and others disrupt normal hormonal balance.
Obesity - Excess fatty tissue can decrease available hormones.
Stress - High stress levels raise cortisol which can suppress key hormones.
Trauma or injury - Head trauma, radiation exposure or some medications can impair hormone production.
Fortunately, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can safely and effectively restore optimal hormone levels. When managed properly under medical supervision, BHRT offers life-changing benefits.
Balancing hormones with BHRT is extremely beneficial for both men and women. Patients in our Brookfield clinic often report major improvements such as:
In particular, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) offers tremendous benefits for men over 30 struggling with low energy, erectile dysfunction, declining strength/endurance, mood issues or lack of vitality.
Male hormone replacement therapy supervised by a hrt specialist can profoundly improve quality of life.
The first step is advanced blood testing to check key hormone levels. Based on clinical symptoms and lab results, customized bioidentical hormone therapy regimens can be developed to restore optimal balance.
Follow-up testing ensures adequate hormone levels are achieved and maintained long-term through monitoring and dosage adjustments as needed. We use top compounding pharmacies to prepare high quality, customized bioidentical hormones tailored to each patient’s needs.
An experienced hrt specialist will educate patients on potential benefits, side effects and risks based on medical history and symptoms. Signature consent for hormone replacement therapy is always required before starting. Safety is the top priority, with regular lab testing and follow up evaluations.
Reported side effects are typically mild and often diminish over time. However if intolerable side effects occur, the dosage or hormones used can be adjusted under medical guidance.
A healthy lifestyle optimizes hormone balance and effectiveness of therapy. We provide personalized coaching and resources on:
Brookfield offers a vibrant community with scenic nature trails, recreational centers, healthy cafes and more to support positive lifestyle changes during treatment. Enjoying the beautiful outdoors and staying active helps manage stress for better results.
Advanced hormone panel testing is critical for determining therapy needs. Key hormones evaluated may include:
Testosterone - Low testosterone contributes to many common male health issues Estrogen - Essential for female health; ratio with progesterone also important Thyroid (T3, T4) - Thyroid hormones regulate metabolism and energy DHEA - Precursor for male and female hormones Cortisol - High cortisol suppresses other hormones Vitamin D - Hormone regulating properties
Based on symptoms, medical history and labs, we create fully customized bioidentical hormone therapy to restore optimal balance.
If testing reveals a clear need for hormone therapy, a detailed treatment plan is developed. Hormones may be replaced through:
Topical gels/creams - Absorbed through the skin Injections - Administered directly into muscles Pellets - Long-acting pellets inserted under the skin Oral capsules - Swallowed capsules with hormone oils
The route, dosage, specific hormones used and duration of therapy is tailored to each patient's needs for safe, effective restoration of youthful hormonal balance.
Informed consent and close medical monitoring ensures patient health and safety remains the top priority throughout treatment. Follow up blood tests track progress and guide dosage adjustments.
While hormone therapy provides enormous benefits, optimal results require a holistic approach also emphasizing:
Our clinic offers resources and coaching to help implement positive lifestyle changes during treatment. Thriving in key areas amplifies the effectiveness of BHRT.
Seeking timely evaluation and treatment for hormone imbalance is critical, as deficiencies worsen over time leading to heightened risks.
Consequences of Untreated Hormone Imbalance May Include:
Restoring balance through TRT or other hormone therapy under medical supervision provides a vital protective influence against such declines.
While age-related hormone decreases were once considered "normal", advancing research confirms restoring more youthful levels significantly enhances wellness - especially when started sooner than later.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Studies show that after transitioning with hormone therapy, transgender individuals experience reductions in anxiety, depression and substance abuse, suggesting the therapy can greatly improve mental health and well-being.
