What medications do you use for hormone therapy?
We use high quality FDA-approved bioidentical hormones that closely match the natural hormones produced in the human body to maximize treatment safety and efficacy. These include estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, growth hormone secretagogues, thyroid medications like T3/T4, and others.
How are hormones administered?
Hormones can be delivered via sublingual tablets, oral capsules, topical gels or creams, injectable solutions, sustained release pellets, or transdermal patches. Our clinicians recommend the ideal options for each patient based on convenience, control, dosing precision needs, and timing considerations that mimic natural hormonal patterns.
What effects can I expect to notice from hormone replacement therapy and how fast?
Most patients report significant improvements in areas like energy, sleep quality, motivation, mental clarity, exercise performance, weight management, mood, libido, and overall wellbeing. Benefits often begin within 1-2 weeks, progressively building over a treatment course of 3-6 months. Maximum results are typically achieved by 9-12 months, with ongoing age-defying effects from sustained therapy.
Are there health risks associated with hormone therapy?
There are always risks with any medication treatment, however when properly dosed and monitored by an experienced clinician, hormone replacement therapy is exceptionally safe with a minimal side effect profile in most patients. Our rigorous protocols ensure risks are well controlled. We also incorporate ancillary treatments to support healthy detoxification.
How long will treatment last for?
After rapidly restoring youthful hormonal levels, we transition patients to a sustained wellness maintenance phase. Much like taking a multi-vitamin for continued health, continuing hormone therapy preserves the regenerative and protective effects long-term which is why we refer to it as enduring age management medicine.
