Hormones are essential chemical messengers in the body that regulate many critical functions, including metabolism, growth and development, reproduction, mood, and more. When hormone levels become unbalanced or deficient, wide-ranging symptoms can develop that significantly impair quality of life. Hormone therapy aims to restore optimal hormone levels, alleviate deficiency symptoms, and help patients regain wellness.
Hormone therapy involves supplementing hormones patients lack due to dysfunction or decline in hormone-producing glands. Treatment is customized to each patient's needs and hormone test results. Formulations and dosages vary based on factors like age, sex, medical history, symptoms, and treatment goals. When properly implemented, hormone therapy offers life-changing benefits enabling patients to look and feel their best.
Imbalances in key hormones like estrogen, testosterone, thyroid, growth hormone, cortisol and others can develop for varied reasons. Common causes include normal aging, chronic stress, obesity, poor nutrition, lack of sleep and exercise, illness, injuries, menopause and childbirth. Certain medications, toxins, pollutants and health conditions also impact hormone levels.
Even small declines in vital hormones produce adverse effects. The wide array of deficiency symptoms reflects hormones' integral role throughout the body and mind. Symptoms manifest differently in men versus women given differences in dominant hormones. Slow, creeping hormone depletion allows the body to compensate temporarily, masking underlying dysfunction until major symptoms arise.
Identifying and properly treating hormone deficiencies and imbalances through replacement therapy provides significant and lasting benefits.
Harmony Hormone Clinic specializes in diverse hormone therapy treatments customized to each patient's biology and goals. Our extensive experience and continual training in best-practice regenerative biotherapy enables us to effectively restore hormone balance. Leading experts carefully evaluate patients' symptoms and test results to develop integrated treatment plans delivering outstanding outcomes.
We offer cutting-edge therapies to optimize levels of all key hormones using bioidentical hormones identical to those produced naturally in the body.
Testosterone deficiency afflicts millions of American men, causing troubling symptoms including fatigue, low libido, erectile dysfunction, reduced muscle mass, mood disorders, poor concentration and memory, insomnia, weight gain and more. Causes include injury, infection, chemotherapy, medications, diabetes, sleep apnea, kidney disease, radiation therapy, obesity, hormonal disorders, and aging.
Testosterone therapy alleviates deficiency symptoms and enhances men's health in many ways. Benefits include:
Our testosterone replacement regimens utilize topical gels, injections, pellets and other proven delivery methods tailored to each man's needs. Follow-up care ensures optimal treatment outcomes. We also address lifestyle factors, diet, fitness and stress management for maximum benefits.
Menopause and perimenopause cause declining estrogen levels that frequently generate symptoms interfering with women's daily functioning and wellbeing, including:
Estrogen therapy and other hormonal treatments offer safe, effective relief for menopausal symptoms and enhanced health. Benefits include reduced heart disease and osteoporosis risk, increased collagen production, better cholesterol levels, enhanced brain function and emotional wellbeing, improved urogenital and sexual health, and more.
We develop personalized plans using bioidentical hormones via creams, patches, pellets or other methods best suited to each woman's needs. Treatment manuals provide helpful information on menopause and hormone therapy. Our compassionate practitioners carefully track progress to ensure optimal outcomes.
The thyroid gland produces hormones regulating metabolism, energy, weight, digestion, heart rate, moods and more. Thyroid disorders are extremely common, afflicting over 20 million Americans. Symptoms include fatigue, weight fluctuations, sensitivity to cold and heat, hair loss, muscle aches, depression, impaired fertility, puffy face, constipation, dry skin and many others.
Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) causes low hormone levels, while overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) elevates hormones excessively. We accurately diagnose thyroid dysfunction through exams and sensitive blood tests. Our practitioners skillfully treat hypo and hyperthyroidism using bioidentical hormones or medications bringing thyroid levels into optimal balance for dramatic symptom relief.
Follow-up testing tracks treatment effectiveness. We also provide nutritional support and lifestyle guidance for improved thyroid health. Ongoing monitoring ensures excellent outcomes even for complex thyroid disorders like Hashimoto’s and Grave’s disease.
Proper thyroid hormone regulation is life changing, enabling patients to lose weight, think clearly, enjoy exercise and life activities again.
Several important steps comprise effective hormone replacement protocols.
Diagnosing hormone deficiencies begins with thorough assessments of patients’ signs, symptoms, health histories and pertinent risk factors. We then conduct specialized tests measuring circulating and free hormone levels in the blood or saliva. Follow-up testing determines treatment efficacy and appropriate dosage adjustments.
Accurately interpreting test results relative to optimal ranges for each hormone is essential for proper diagnoses and effective treatment. Harmony Hormone Clinic' practitioners spend extensive time carefully analyzing patients’ test results using our deep knowledge of optimal hormone balance from extensive training and experience.
We utilize high quality tests from renowned labs for accurate diagnoses, including serum blood panels, free/bioavailable hormones, thyroid panels, IGF-1, cortisol curves and extensive markers of health status. Definitive testing prevents misdiagnoses and inappropriate treatments.
Hormone therapy protocols are tailored to each patient’s clinical presentation based on exam findings, symptoms, medical history and diagnostic test results. After thoroughly analyzing this data, our experts develop customized plans using bioidentical hormones to restore balance and alleviate deficiency symptoms without side effects.
Appropriate delivery methods are selected - injections, gels, pellets, patches, pills, etc. - along with proper formulations and dosages. Treatment plans integrate prescription medications only when necessary, along with specific dietary guidelines and nutritional support for optimal outcomes. Follow-up testing ensures treatments remain effective long-term.
We spend extensive time listening to patients and fine tuning programs to meet individual needs for life enhancing benefits. Harmony Hormone Clinic’ personalized approach achieves treatment goals safely.
While hormone therapy alleviates deficiency symptoms, lifestyle habits significantly impact treatment success. We provide evidence-based guidance to help patients adopt healthy behaviors enhancing hormone function. Recommendations match patients’ needs and may include:
Diet - Specific nutritional strategies reduce inflammation, promote healthy hormone metabolism and prevent deficiencies. Our experts offer personalized dietary guidance. Alta Loma offers flavorful, nutritious cuisine at restaurants like Flavor Fusion, Serrano’s Mexican Restaurant and others.
Exercise - Regular exercise boosts hormone levels and sensitivity in key glands. We provide custom fitness guidance, including local gym and trainer referrals like to FitBody Boot Camp. Walking trails, Agua Mansa Park and recreational facilities provide many opportunities to exercise.
Stress Management - Chronic stress elevates cortisol disrupting endocrine function. Relaxation techniques like meditation and yoga lower stress for better hormone health. Nearby Zen Den and LifePoint Church offer stress relief programming.
Healthy Sleep Habits - Quality sleep optimizes hormone production. We suggest behavioral modifications for improved sleep.
Other Lifestyle Factors - Smoking, alcohol consumption, medications and toxins influence hormone levels, so may need adjustment.
