Hormones play a vital role in regulating many processes in the body. When certain hormones become deficient, patients may experience unpleasant symptoms impacting quality of life. At Hormone Health Institute clinic, we specialize in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to help patients restore optimal hormonal balance.
HRT involves administering bioidentical hormones to make up for deficiencies. One of the most common hormonal issues facing men is low testosterone, also called hypogonadism or hypotestosteronism. We offer cutting-edge testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) utilizing injections, gels and other delivery methods to effectively increase testosterone. Customized treatment plans also address related health aspects like nutrition, fitness and mental wellbeing for comprehensive results.
Below is an outline of key topics covered in this guide on Hormone Health Institute’ hormone therapy services:
The first step is diagnosing the specific hormonal deficiency through lab testing. Patients undergo blood tests to measure levels of key hormones like testosterone. Additional assessments examine the impact low hormones have on bodily functions and subjective wellbeing. Our knowledgeable physicians interpret test findings and pinpoint which hormones need balancing. They determine optimal dosage and delivery method tailored to the patient’s physiology and lifestyle.
Many factors cause declining testosterone as part of the natural aging process. But today low testosterone or “low T” is increasingly prevalent even among younger adults due to aspects modern lifestyles. Stress, poor sleep, sedentary routines, obesity and nutrient deficiencies inhibit the body’s testosterone production. Certain medications, chronic illnesses and injuries also contribute.
Since testosterone plays key roles regulating metabolism, muscle mass, cognition and sex drive, deficient levels significantly lower quality of life. Indicators of low T include:
Testing helps clarify which hormones are imbalanced and guides treatment plans.
Lifestyle upgrades should accompany hormone therapy to enhance results. Our physicians provide dietary and fitness guidance tailored to patients’ needs and preferences. We also offer counseling for stress management and mental health support. Some patients significantly increase natural testosterone production through natural solutions before pursuing TRT.
If optimizing testosterone naturally proves inadequate, we develop customized testosterone therapy regimens. The first step is choosing the optimal delivery method and dosage for steady absorption. Testosterone is available in:
Follow-up blood testing during early stages helps fine-tune dosage for ideal results. For those using gels or injections, closely monitoring blood levels prevents spikes or dips.
Correcting testosterone deficiencies stabilizes energy, endurance, body composition, mood and cognition. Patients report enhanced productivity and performance at work while also deriving greater enjoyment of relationships, sexuality and recreational pursuits. The key is fine-tuning dosages to avoid excessive levels causing side effects. Hormone Health Institute physicians are leaders in achieving optimum balance through TRT.
Balancing testosterone is crucial for maintaining lean muscle mass and healthy body weight as men age. It enhances cellular energy production, exercise recovery and endurance. Patients have an easier time losing abdominal fat while building resilient fitness. TRT also helps regulate factors impacting heart health and diabetes risk.
When deficient, low testosterone often manifests in symptoms like depression, cloudy thinking and lack of motivation. Restoring youthful hormonal balance regenerates mental clarity and optimism. Patients think sharper, focus better and formulate goals passionately. TRT enhances one’s outlook on life along with cognition.
One of the most common effects of low T is reduced sexual desire and function including:
When balanced through TRT, most men regain their enthusiasm for sex and ability to perform. Treatment also helps counteract shrinking testicle size associated with deficient testosterone.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Studies show that access to gender-affirming care significantly reduces rates of anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation in this population. It allows many transgender people to live more authentically.
Hormone production depends heavily on nutritional status. We offer personalized meal planning assistance to ensure adequate healthy fats, high-quality proteins and micronutrients. Monrovia offers bountiful fresh, organic produce to meet increased nutritional needs accompanying TRT.
Regular exercise potently stimulates natural testosterone synthesis while also optimizing TRT results. Our staff assesses each patient’s fitness level and develops customized training regimens factoring individual preferences and constraints. Monrovia FitClub, Pro Gym and Monrovia CrossFit provide state-of-the-art equipment and programming for all levels. Their trainers understand TRT-enhanced athletic capacity unlocked through expertly balanced testosterone.
Chronic stress and poor sleep sabotage hormone production and TRT effectiveness. We offer counseling, biofeedback, supplements and sleep studies to help patients better manage tension and sleep more soundly. For relaxation, we recommend Monrovia’s walking trails, beaches, massage studios like Happy Hands Massage and float tank centers like Still Water Flotation.
Deficient testosterone often manifests in increased anxiety or sadness. Our physicians and counselors guide patients in shoring up mental health foundations. Monrovia Mindfulness Center offers excellent meditation training and Light Therapy supplies full-spectrum infrared light panels. These tools alongside balanced hormones supercharge motivation, confidence and enjoyment of life.
Given widespread testosterone deficiency, all men should consider getting tested after age 30, then twice a decade. Diagnosing imbalances early on prevents long-term complications and makes treatment more straightforward. The blood tests are covered by most insurance and take just minutes. Hormone Health Institute seamlessly handles referrals.
Postponing treatment allows deficiencies to worsen, causing cumulative damage. Research confirms low testosterone gradually elevates risks for cardio-metabolic disorders, osteoporosis, loss of independence and even early mortality if left untreated. Furthermore, the longer patients live with distressing hypogonadal symptoms, the more they negatively impact work, relationships and overall wellbeing.
