Hormone therapy can be a powerful tool for combating the signs of aging. As we get older, our hormone levels naturally decline, leading to symptoms like low energy, weight gain, loss of muscle mass, decreased libido, insomnia, and more. Properly administered bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help restore hormone balance, leading to improved vitality, body composition, sexual function, sleep quality, and an overall more youthful state of being.
Here at Vitality Hormone Clinic in Northbrook, Illinois, we specialize in natural anti-aging hormone therapy to help you look and feel your best, regardless of your age or current hormone levels. Read on to learn more about how hormone therapy works and its many benefits.
As we age, our bodies produce less of key hormones like testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA and growth hormone. This decline can start as early as our 20s and 30s, leading to sometimes subtle symptoms that worsen over time. Common signs of hormone deficiency include:
Hormone blood tests are crucial for identifying specific deficiencies. The experienced clinicians at Vitality Hormone Clinic use advanced testing to pinpoint imbalances and customize treatment plans.
Bioidentical hormones are identical in structure to the hormones produced naturally in the body. When administered properly under medical supervision, they can provide targeted treatment to alleviate deficiencies and related symptoms. Benefits include:
The first step is having your hormone levels tested to identify any deficiencies. Based on the results and your symptoms, your practitioner will design a customized treatment plan.
Hormones like testosterone, DHEA and growth hormone are administered via injection. This allows for precise dosing and optimal absorption. Estrogen and progesterone can be given orally, transdermally via cream or gel, or with subcutaneous pellets. Our clinicians will determine the best delivery method for your needs.
Most patients start with once or twice weekly injections, along with prescription creams as needed. Follow-up testing is done regularly to ensure hormone levels are optimized within the normal range. The duration of treatment is based on your individual goals.
Lifestyle measures like nutrition, exercise and stress reduction support hormone therapy for maximum benefits. Our practitioners provide comprehensive guidance to help you get the most out of your treatment.
The effects of hormone imbalance worsen gradually over time. Many people suffer with frustrating symptoms for years before seeking help. The longer deficiencies go untreated, the harder they are to correct.
