Hormone therapy Renton, WA - Harmony Hormone Clinic

Introduction to Hormone Therapy

Hormone therapy involves supplementing hormones that are lacking or out of balance in the body. It can provide relief from unpleasant deficiency symptoms and help people regain optimal health.

Hormone levels naturally decline with age, leading to changes like hot flashes, low libido, fatigue, weight gain, and loss of muscle mass. Replacing deficient hormones can reverse these effects, improving quality of life.

Types of hormone therapy include:

Estrogen and Progestogen Therapy

Used to treat menopause symptoms in women, like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and osteoporosis. The most common combination is estrogen plus progestogen.

Testosterone Therapy

Widely used to treat low testosterone (low T) in men. Restores energy, sex drive, strength, and vitality. Available as injections, gels, patches, and pellets.

Thyroid Hormone Therapy

Thyroid hormones regulate metabolism. Replacing deficient thyroid hormone relieves fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, and other hypothyroidism symptoms.

Growth Hormone Therapy

Used to treat grown hormone deficiency leading to loss of muscle mass, bone density, and energy. Mainly prescribed for adults with pituitary gland issues.

Other Hormone Therapies

Including DHEA, melatonin, cortisol, and supplements to support hormone balance like maca root.

Benefits of Hormone Replacement

The benefits of hormone therapy are wide-ranging:

• Increased energy and endurance
• Improved mood and cognitive function
• Healthier cardiovascular function
• Reduced risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures
• Increased muscle mass and strength
• Better sleep quality
• Smoother, firmer skin
• Enhanced libido and sexual performance
• Relief of uncomfortable menopausal symptoms in women
• Improved body composition and easier weight management

For many, balancing hormones leads to feeling happier, healthier, and more vibrant regardless of age or gender.

Diagnosing Hormone Imbalances

The first step is having thorough hormone blood tests to check levels of key hormones like estrogen, testosterone, thyroid hormones (T3 and T4), DHEA, growth hormone, and more.

Based on test results and symptoms, customized hormone therapy protocols can be developed to restore optimal levels.

Ongoing testing determines adjustments needed over time for maximum benefits.

Warning signs of a potential hormone imbalance include:

• Unexplained weight gain or increased belly fat
• Loss of muscle mass and feeling weak
• Low libido or sexual dysfunction
• Hot flashes, night sweats, chills
• Fatigue, lack of motivation, depression, anxiety
• Poor sleep, insomnia
• Hair thinning, skin changes
• Concentration and memory problems

Talk to your healthcare provider right away if experiencing these hormone deficiency symptoms.

Hormone Therapy Protocols

Harmony Hormone Clinic offers cutting-edge therapies to restore optimal hormone levels. Treatment plans are fully personalized but may include:

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)

Testosterone therapy is prescribed for men over 30 experiencing low T symptoms like low energy, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, and low libido.

TRT protocols balance testosterone levels through:

• Testosterone injections - Injectable testosterone cypionate or enanthate. Injections every 1-2 weeks.
• Testosterone gels - Topical gels provide daily testosterone directly through the skin.
• Testosterone pellets - Bio-identical hormone pellets inserted under the skin every 3-6 months.

Estrogen Progestogen Therapy

For women needing menopausal hormone therapy, we prescribe:

• Estrogen patches - Deliver hormone directly through skin. Change patches twice weekly.
• Progestogen supplements - Progesterone pills can protect uterine lining depending on whether the woman has had hysterectomy.
• BioTE pellets - Includes estrogen testosterone pellets for women providing steady hormone levels.

Thyroid and Adrenal Support

Deficient levels of thyroid or adrenal hormones cause debilitating symptoms. We test and treat:

• Hypothyroidism - Underactive thyroid signaling fatigue, weight gain, pain, depression. Prescribe thyroid hormone replacement medications adjusting based on lab work.
• Adrenal insufficiency - Weak adrenals cause fatigue, nausea, cravings. Cortisol or DHEA supplements help nourish stressed adrenals.

Harmony Hormone Clinic also offers therapies for human growth hormone deficiency, melatonin imbalance, menopause symptom relief, and general vitality/anti-aging.

Lifestyle Recommendations

We provide tips to help amplify the benefits of hormone therapy:

• Nutrition: Follow our customized meal plans to stabilize blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and support hormone balance. Emphasize healthy fats, high-fiber carbs, and lean proteins. Stay hydrated and minimize alcohol/caffeine.
• Exercise: Engage muscles with strength training. Include 30 minutes of moderate cardio daily to spur hormone production and manage weight. Try HIIT workouts. Walk outdoors.
• Sleep: Prioritize 7-9 hours nightly for optimal hormone function and recovery. Develop consistent sleep-wake times. Limit blue light exposure before bed.
• Stress relief: Make time to decompress with yoga, meditation, massage, sauna, nature. Breathe deeply and slowly throughout the day. Laugh often!

Incorporating these healthy habits amplifies the rejuvenating benefits of balanced hormones.
