Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can provide relief for those suffering from hormone deficiencies. At Vitality Hormone Clinic in Centerville, Ohio, we specialize in customized HRT programs to help patients regain hormonal balance, vitality, and an overall sense of wellbeing. HRT replaces hormones that decline naturally with age, like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. However, hormone deficiencies can occur at any age due to medical conditions, menopause, or other factors. The most common symptoms of hormone imbalance include:
The first step in any HRT program is comprehensive lab testing to check individual hormone levels. This provides a clear picture of which hormones are out of balance so they can be properly replenished.
At Vitality Hormone Clinic, we use cutting-edge diagnostic tests to measure levels of:
| Hormone | Function |
|---|---|
| Estrogen | The main female sex hormone |
| Progesterone | Regulates the menstrual cycle |
| Testosterone | Impacts libido, vitality, and muscle mass in both sexes |
| DHEA | A precursor to estrogen and testosterone |
| Thyroid | Regulates metabolism and energy |
Based on test results, our hormone doctors develop customized treatment plans using bioidentical hormones - synthetic compounds molecularly identical to those produced naturally in the body.
Balancing key hormones produces transformative results:
| Benefit | Description |
|---|---|
| Increased energy and endurance | Feel more vibrant and energetic |
| Improved mood and cognitive function | Experience better mental clarity and emotional wellbeing |
| Deeper, more restful sleep | Enjoy refreshing, uninterrupted sleep |
| Healthy libido and sexual function | Restore desire and sexual performance |
| Muscle strength and bone density | Maintain lean body mass and strong bones |
| More efficient metabolism and weight control | Achieve a healthy weight more easily |
| Improved skin texture and appearance | Enjoy smoother, more youthful-looking skin |
| Heightened motivation and productivity | Feel driven and accomplished in daily life |
In essence, optimized hormones lead to better health and quality of life - allowing patients to look and feel their best.
For women approaching perimenopause or menopause, low estrogen and progesterone cause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and irregular periods.
Bioidentical estrogen (estradiol) and progesterone creams, pills, or pellets can provide relief by:
Proper dosing is determined by the patient's needs and hormonal bloodwork. Our clinicians carefully monitor this therapy to ensure safety and efficacy.
In men, testosterone levels naturally decrease after age 30, causing symptoms like:
Testosterone therapy with injections, gels or pellets can effectively alleviate these issues by restoring testosterone to healthy levels. Positive effects include:
For women, small amounts of supplemental testosterone can also reverse deficiencies and improve libido, energy, cognitive function and bone density. Our experts determine optimal testosterone dosing through blood testing and careful monitoring.
The thyroid produces hormones that regulate metabolism, body temperature, heart rate, mood, and energy levels. Hypothyroidism - underactive thyroid - causes symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, depression, and brain fog.
At Vitality Hormone Clinic, we test TSH, free T4 and T3 levels to diagnose thyroid disorders. Treatment may include bioidentical thyroid hormones like levothyroxine and liothyronine to normalize thyroid function, metabolism, and wellbeing.
DHEA is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that acts as a precursor to estrogen and testosterone. DHEA levels decline significantly with age, contributing to loss of vitality.
Supplementing with bioidentical DHEA can provide remarkable benefits like:
Vitality Hormone Clinic optimizes DHEA dosing based on lab testing and achieves dramatic improvements in patients' health and function.
