Hormones play a vital role in regulating many essential bodily functions. When hormone levels become imbalanced or deficient, wide-ranging symptoms and health issues can occur. Re-balancing hormones through hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or bioidentical hormone therapy can provide immense relief by reducing deficiency symptoms and improving quality of life.
Hormone imbalances often develop gradually over many years due to natural aging, stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, or other lifestyle factors. Imbalances may involve key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormone (T3/T4), cortisol, DHEA, melatonin, growth hormone, and others.
Deficiency symptoms depend on which hormone is affected but may include:
Allowing hormone deficiencies and imbalances to persist untreated over many years puts you at greater risk for much more serious health issues down the road:
The take away: Restoring healthy hormone balance helps protect long term wellness in essential areas like the heart, brain, bones, muscles and metabolism.
The first step in hormone therapy is diagnosing any underlying deficiencies or imbalances with comprehensive lab testing at our clinic. We use leading national labs for the most accurate test results.
Based on your symptoms and health history, our clinicians will customize lab work to assess optimal levels of key hormones like:
Male hormones: - Testosterone: Essential for libido, energy, lean muscle, fat loss, mood and heart health. Declines with age. - Free and total testosterone - DHEA and DHEAS: Precursor for testosterone and estrogen. Helps regulate metabolism. Declines after age 30.
Female hormones: - Estrogen(estradiol, estrone): Protects heart, bones, skin and brain health in women. Declines around menopause. - Progesterone: Works synergistically with estrogen. Calms mood and aids sleep. - FSH and LH: Reproductive hormones signaling ovarian function and menopause transition.
Other hormones: - Thyroid (Free T3, Free T4, TSH, antibodies): Regulates metabolism and energy. - Cortisol: Key stress hormone. Excess promotes belly fat and insulin resistance. - Vitamin D: Low "sunshine vitamin" promotes seasonal depression, fatigue, bone loss and frequent illness.
We'll thoroughly review your lab report and clarify:
Once hormone deficiencies or excess are identified through testing, we develop customized treatment plans designed to:
We utilize cutting edge hormone therapy protocols including:
Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to hormones naturally made in the body. BHRT restores balance by replacing deficient hormones with plant-derived bioidentical estrogens, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and others. Custom compounded BHRT solutions allow for highly personalized dosing.
Benefits of bioidentical over synthetic hormone therapy include:
At Renew Medical HRT Clinic, our clinicians specialize in precision balancing of bioidentical hormones to meet each patient's unique needs.
We often recommend complementary nutritional supplements and herbs that help address underlying causes of hormone imbalance, such as:
Lifestyle therapies like improved sleep, stress reduction, targeted high intensity and strength training exercise, and dietary changes tailored to your hormone deficiencies have profound effects. We provide cutting edge testing like genetic analysis to further personalize treatment.
In certain cases of more extreme deficiency, we may prescribe FDA-approved hormones like Armour or Synthroid thyroid medications, prescription testosterone, PremPro, Duavee, or others.
We stay up to date on the latest research to make the best recommendations for each patient.

Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals match their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Studies show that when appropriately prescribed, hormone therapy significantly improves transgender mental health, quality of life, and life satisfaction by alleviating gender dysphoria.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) offers immense benefits for men dealing with low testosterone (Low T). As the primary male sex hormone, testosterone plays a crucial role in protecting men's health and vitality.
Testosterone promotes:
TRT at our clinic involves regular injection or topical application of bioidentical testosterone customized to achieve healthy youthful levels between 500-1000 ng/dL depending on the patient.
Along with relieving low T symptoms, benefits of lifelong TRT include:
Our clinicians optimize rejuvenating TRT regimens tailored to each patient’s needs, goals, bloodwork and response to therapy over months and years. We help men realize peak performance, health spans and quality of life through precision testosterone therapy.
Many men struggle with Low T symptoms for years without recognizing declining testosterone as the underlying cause.
Symptoms of testosterone deficiency include:
Low T develops slowly due to the natural decline of testosterone production by 1-2% per year after age 30. Contributing lifestyle factors include chronic stress, inadequate sleep, obesity, certain medications or health conditions, and genetic predispositions.
Diagnosing low testosterone definitively relies on the following lab tests:
Based on symptoms and test results, our clinicians determine which men are candidates for TRT and at what dosing to optimize improvements in libido, energy, body composition, mood and vitality. We also offer advanced genetic testing to further personalize TRT regimens.
Ongoing testing and therapy adjustments every 3-6 months ensure men sustain youthful testosterone levels for life. Most supplemental insurance plans cover treatment costs. TRT remains safe and effective when expertly prescribed and monitored.
