What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy replenishes hormone levels that naturally decline as we age. This therapy is used for anyone who experiences symptoms related to hormonal imbalances, such as fatigue, mood changes, reduced libido, and more.
By supplementing your body with the hormones it needs, like testosterone, estrogen, or progesterone, HRT can alleviate these symptoms and give you a better quality of life
What Can Hormone Replacement Therapy Help With?
HRT can address a variety of problems linked to hormonal imbalances, including:
- Low energy and fatigue: When hormones like testosterone and estrogen drop, it’s common to feel constantly drained. By restoring these hormones, we can boost your energy levels.
- Difficulty sleeping: Sleep issues can occur when hormones like progesterone and melatonin are unbalanced. HRT works to bring these levels back in sync so you can get a good night's sleep.
- Mood swings and anxiety: Hormones such as estrogen and testosterone influence mood regulation. When levels are off, you may experience irritability or anxiety.
- Reduced libido or sexual dysfunction: Low testosterone or estrogen can cause a drop in libido. We can replenish these hormones to help improve your sexual desire and function.
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight: Insulin and thyroid hormones affect how your body stores and burns fat. Balancing them out can make it easier to maintain a healthy weight.
- Muscle loss or decreased strength: If you’re losing muscle and feel weak, you may need to use HRT to get more testosterone.
