Hormone levels naturally decline with age, leading to undesirable effects like low energy, brain fog, weight gain, loss of muscle mass, decreased libido, and mood changes. Hormone deficiency impacts quality of life. At Harmonize Care, we offer anti-aging hormone therapy to help patients restore optimal hormone balance.
Testosterone is a key hormone that starts declining after age 30. Low testosterone in men over 40, known as andropause, causes symptoms like:
Thyroid hormones regulate metabolism. An underactive thyroid gland leads to hypothyroidism, causing:
Growth hormone and melatonin also decline with age. Rebalancing hormones through our individualized treatment protocols can enhance well-being.
Restoring hormone levels to optimal ranges with bioidentical hormones offers life-changing benefits:
Table 1 summarizes the major benefits of hormone optimization:
| Hormone | Major Benefits |
|---|---|
| Testosterone | Increased energy, libido, muscle mass |
| Thyroid | Weight loss, reduced fatigue |
| Growth Hormone | Less body fat, healthier skin |
| Melatonin | Better sleep |
Balancing hormones enhances quality of life across many domains - physical, mental, emotional. Supporting the body's innate healing ability allows patients to feel their best.
Identifying hormone deficits requires accurate testing. We utilize advanced diagnostic methods only provided at specialty clinics like Harmonize Care.
Tracking objective biomarkers along with patient symptoms over time allows precision optimization of hormones for maximal benefits. We partner with patients to develop fully customized treatment plans based on their unique needs.
It is critical to evaluate declining hormones on time before complications develop:
Rebalancing key hormones promptly with anti-aging therapy helps slow down the aging process and maintain health. It enables continuing productivity and independence while preventing diseases.
We provide complete care, including optimized hormone restoration and nutrition/lifestyle modification for comprehensively addressing root causes of hormone imbalance.
We use bioidentical hormones, which are structurally identical to hormones produced naturally in the body. Hence, they have the same effects with excellent safety profiles.
Delivery methods include:
Testosterone - Injections - Testosterone cypionate/enanthate - Creams - Compounded testosterone cream - Pellets - Slow-release pellets inserted under the skin
Thyroid - T4 tablets - Levothyroxine - T3 tablets - Liothyronine - Compounded T4/T3 combination therapy
Growth Hormone - Injections - Humatrope, Norditropin, Genotropin
Melatonin - Oral tablets/capsules
We recommend forms and adjust doses tailored specifically for each patient's needs and preferences. Pellet implants for testosterone provide steady delivery, avoiding ups and downs of gels/injections.
Customized care plans our physicians develop include these key aspects:
Restoring a youthful hormonal environment enables patients to thrive in all realms of life.
Testosterone deficiency progressively worsens unless treated. Early management preserves health/function and prevents long-term complications like frailty, sarcopenia, diabetes, osteoporosis, and loss of independence.
Besides checking total and free testosterone levels, we also monitor estradiol and SHBG levels to accurately guide precision testosterone restoration.
Table 2 below indicates low testosterone blood levels by different testing methods warranting treatment:
| Parameter | Low Level |
|---|---|
| Total Testosterone | < 300 ng/dL |
| Free Testosterone | < 50 pg/mL |
| Bioavailable T | < 70 ng/dL |
We provide compounded testosterone creams, testosterone injections, or convenient slow-release testosterone pellets, which avoid the hassle of daily gels. Pellet implants every 4-6 months offer steady testosterone delivery.
An underactive thyroid causes annoying hypothyroid symptoms impairing quality of life - fatigue, stubborn weight gain, joint pain, hair loss, etc. Identifying and properly treating hypothyroidism can resolve these issues.
We diagnose low thyroid function through symptoms and sensitive TSH, free T4, free T3, and reverse T3 blood tests, uncovering subtle problems standard labs miss.
Custom compounded thyroid medications help optimize T4 and T3 levels for the resolution of all stubborn hypothyroidism symptoms. We also check vitamin D, iodine, selenium, and iron status critical for proper thyroid function.
Growth hormone levels drop significantly by middle age, causing excess body fat deposition, muscle loss, and impacting metabolic health. Optimizing IGF-1 levels reduces cardiovascular risks and enhances fitness.
Norditropin, Humantrope, and Genotropin injections help amplify fat burning, build strength and stamina, and improve body composition.
Growth hormone therapy also improves mood, sharpness, and sleep quality. Skin becomes firmer and healthier from accelerated collagen production. It supports weight loss plateaus by correcting metabolic slowing.
Melatonin is the sleep hormone regulating healthy sleep-wake cycles and circadian rhythms. Oral melatonin tablets support more restful sleep, which magnifies the health benefits of all other hormone therapy.
