Read on to learn about common hormone deficiencies, the wide-ranging benefits of prompt treatment, and how we can help you regain your vitality.
Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid regulate many essential bodily functions when maintained at optimal levels. However, lifestyle, health conditions, aging and other factors can disrupt delicate hormonal balances, causing troublesome symptoms including:
Left untreated, the consequences of hormonal imbalances extend far beyond temporary discomforts. Osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes, infertility and other serious health risks can develop over time.
Restoring hormonal balance as soon as deficiencies or abnormalities are detected is crucial for immediate relief of symptoms as well as optimizing long-term wellbeing. The experienced medical team at Renewed Balance Clinic provides cutting edge testing, treatment plans and ongoing monitoring to help patients correct hormone deficits before they escalate into more serious conditions.
Pinpointing specific hormone deficiencies requires specialized medical tests. The physicians at Renewed Balance Clinic utilize advanced diagnostics to measure critical hormonal markers in blood and saliva samples, comparing results to optimal reference ranges based on your age and gender.
Common lab tests used to identify hormonal abnormalities include:
- T3 (triiodothyronine) - Active thyroid hormone regulating metabolism - T4 (thyroxine) - Direct precursor to active T3 - TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) - Pituitary hormone regulating thyroid function - Thyroid antibodies - May indicate autoimmune thyroid disorders
Women: Estradiol, progesterone, LH, FSH, DHEA-S, testosterone and more
Men: Testosterone, estradiol, LH, FSH, PSA, SHBG and others
Based on comprehensive test results rather than isolated symptoms, our practitioners develop fully personalized hormone therapy regimens to restore balance.
Depending on which hormones are deficient, replacing them at proper levels can produce profound improvements including:
- Increased energy, endurance and strength - More youthful muscle tone and body composition - Easier weight management and fat loss - Better sleep quality - Relief of hot flashes, night sweats and chills - Reduced joint aches and pains, injuries - Improved heart health, cholesterol levels - Enhanced sexual arousal, performance, satisfaction - Healthier hair, skin and nails
