Hormone imbalances can develop at any age and affect both men and women. Some common symptoms include:
Weight gain
Difficulty sleeping
Hormone levels decline naturally with age, but other factors like stress, medications, and medical conditions can also trigger imbalances. Getting tested to check your hormone levels is important for both detecting deficiencies early and tailoring hormone therapy to meet your individual needs.
Hormone therapy can provide relief from troublesome menopausal symptoms, correct deficiencies that develop with aging, and help patients feel their best. Benefits may include:
Supplementing hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone alleviates hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and associated sleep and mood issues in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.
Balancing hormones improves mood, concentration, memory, and overall mental health. Many patients note remission of anxiety and depressive symptoms with therapy.
Proper hormone levels help regulate metabolism and fat storage. Patients often lose stubborn belly fat and find it easier to manage weight with a customized regimen.
Testosterone and estrogen play vital roles in libido and sexual health. Correcting deficiencies can dramatically improve sexual satisfaction in both men and women.
Research shows hormone therapy can reduce risks for heart disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and certain cancers. Optimizing levels preserves long-term health.
Since hormone levels fluctuate regularly, imbalances cannot be accurately diagnosed from symptoms alone. Comprehensive lab testing is needed to check levels of key hormones including:
Defined as a group of three hormones: estriol (E3), estradiol (E2) and estrone (E1). Estrogens regulate female sexual development and reproduction.
Works together with estrogen to control the menstrual cycle. This hormone helps prepare the body for pregnancy.
Known as the “male” hormone but is important for both sexes. Testosterone impacts sex drive, muscle mass, bone density, and red blood cell production.
T3 and T4 balance metabolism, heart rate, body temperature and support growth. Imbalances cause weight fluctuations, fatigue, and mood changes.
DHEA or dehydroepiandrosterone is produced by the adrenal glands. DHEA helps make estrogen and testosterone while providing energy.
Testing all major hormones together gives the most complete picture of your individual imbalances. Based on results, custom treatment plans can effectively restore optimal levels. Balanced Hormone Clinic offers state-of-the-art hormone tests with rapid results.
Getting tested is the critical first step in hormone therapy – allow our experts to help you regain balance.
Hormone therapy is not a one-size-fits all treatment. Balanced Hormone Clinic customizes regimens based on each patient’s:
We partner with patients to create tailored plans that safely balance hormones using bioidentical hormones in the optimal doses and delivery methods for your individual needs.
Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as those made by the human body. Derived from plant sources, these hormones are biochemically identical to our own. As a result, bioidentical hormones:
Compared to synthetic or non-human options, bioidentical hormones work harmoniously with the body’s natural rhythms and receptors. Balanced Hormone Clinic prescribes natural micronized progesterone, estriol, estradiol, and testosterone in customized combinations, doses and delivery methods to restore balance.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Studies show that access to gender-affirming care improves mental health outcomes and lowers suicide risk. Though hormone therapy is sometimes controversial, research indicates it allows many transgender people to lead happier, more authentic lives.

1. Comprehensive lab testing – Assess estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid & other hormones
2. Review results / symptoms – Identify imbalances driving troublesome symptoms
3. Create a customized treatment plan – Bioidentical hormones & modalities to restore optimal levels
