Hormones are essential chemical messengers that regulate many critical bodily functions. When hormone levels drop below normal ranges, significant symptoms and health issues can occur. At Equilibrium Hormone Institute our specialized medical team has extensive training and experience diagnosing and addressing hormone deficiencies through proven hormone therapy protocols.
Hormone imbalances should not be overlooked. Left untreated, symptoms may worsen over time and lead to impaired quality of life. We emphasize the importance of timely testing, diagnosis and treatment to help patients regain optimal wellness and vitality.
Fluctuating hormones are a natural part of aging. However, deficiencies can also result from:
Genetics and family history can also play a role. Equilibrium Hormone Institute conducts thorough testing and assessments to determine any underlying causes of hormone disturbances.
Patients often exhibit both physical and psychological symptoms when hormones are out of balance. Common issues may include:
If tests reveal a true hormone deficiency, targeted treatment can provide immense and lasting benefits.
Under medical supervision, introducing bioidentical hormones at proper levels can help patients feel renewed physically and mentally. Many report:
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help counteract many unwanted effects of aging. Patients often feel rejuvenated and report looking and feeling younger.
Equilibrium Hormone Institute tailors treatment plans to help both men and women prolong vitality and quality of life into older age. Our individualized programs aim to reduce risk and progression of chronic diseases.
We begin every patient’s journey by conducting extensive hormone blood tests and medical examinations. This establishes a clear baseline and allows our physicians to detect the presence and degree of any deficiencies.
Patients then undergo re-testing at regular intervals throughout therapy to ensure hormones are balanced at physiologic levels. This essential testing and monitoring sets the foundation for safe, effective long-term treatment plans.
The initial steps when beginning hormone replacement therapy (HRT) involve:
Test results are then carefully evaluated and discussed to create a tailored therapy regimen addressing the patient’s unique needs.
Open communication ensures patients fully understand their hormone status, options, and the expected benefits and potential risks involved with treatment.
Equilibrium Hormone Institute offers both oral and self-administered drug preparations to restore optimal hormone levels.
The most common therapy choices include:
New replacement methods continue to be developed, providing patients with more choices to fit their needs and preferences.
Follow-up blood tests are performed 1-2 months after beginning any new therapy protocol. Hormone levels in the body fluctuate daily, so testing is the only way to accurately determine if adjustments are needed.
At Equilibrium Hormone Institute we recognize no two patients respond exactly the same. By closely monitoring progress and symptoms, modifications can be made to ensure optimal therapeutic effects are achieved and maintained long-term.
We advise all our patients starting hormone replacement to incorporate positive lifestyle changes to gain full benefits from treatment.
Following an organic, whole food diet high in vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish provides nutrients critical for good hormone production and balance. These foods also reduce inflammation throughout the body.
Avoiding excess sugar, refined carbohydrates, alcohol and caffeine is also recommended. Staying properly hydrated with clean filtered water supports detoxification pathways vital for hormone health.
Regular aerobic, strength training and flexibility exercises boost endogenous hormone levels and sensitivity. Aim for 30-60 minutes daily of vigorous activity tailored to your current fitness level.
