Hormones are the body’s messenger sending signals from organ to organ throughout the day. Necessary for every level of cellular function, hormones dictate when we sleep, wake, metabolize food, and know we are full. When hormone levels go up or down from stress, life events, or diet changes, hormone imbalances can occur. Hormone imbalances can result in trouble gaining or losing weight, irregular sleep, and an array of symptoms we may easily brush off as side effects of aging or daily stress. Often these symptoms affect our lives but are undetected by routine blood tests. In more severe cases, hormone imbalance can cause more noticeable health problems like hair loss, anxiety, depression, and autoimmune responses. Hormone optimization takes the guesswork out of your health by offering relief and healing of debilitating symptoms. There is a range of hormone optimization services that can help you achieve balanced hormones for better health and peace of mind.

What Is Hormone Optimization Therapy?
Hormones can easily be impacted by the facets of daily life. Stress, illness, preexisting health conditions, and chemical or interferences can cause some natural hormones to decrease and others to increase. Too little or too much of any hormone can wreak havoc on the whole body. Hormone optimization is a delicate process; everyone’s hormonal needs are unique and require personalized monitoring and care. Through individualized hormone optimization therapies patients may experience:
- Reduced stress
- Restful, consistent sleep
- Stable weight and appetite
- Reduced sugar, caffeine, and substance cravings
- Lower chance of dementia
- Lower risk of heart disease
- Prevention of osteoporosis and bone density loss
- Increased, stable energy
- Balanced mood
- Increased libido
- Increased coordination, flexibility, and balance
- Reduction of fine lines through increased collagen production
- Improved blood pressure, lipid markers, and blood glucose levels
Hormone optimization therapy often includes bioidentical hormones, which are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. These, as well as synthetic hormone options, are safely absorbed into the body to achieve optimal levels. Often, in the form of pellets inserted under the skin to bypass the liver. In this form of hormone therapy, the body takes only what it needs from the pellet, leaving no room for human error. Other forms include oral hormones, often a troche placed under the tongue for fast, daily absorption. Patients receiving hormone optimization therapy may start seeing relief from symptoms in as little as four weeks.
Is Hormone Optimization Therapy Right for You?
If you feel sluggish, have trouble gaining or losing weight, or just have a sense something is “off,” hormone optimization may be right for you. Because hormone imbalances often seem subtle and are easily attributed to other medical conditions and life circumstances, doctors may not consider hormone tests or treatments. If you’ve struggled with symptoms doctors have not identified or treated or are looking for the root cause of trouble sleeping, anxiety, mood swings, and weight management, hormone optimization therapy may be exactly what you need. In addition to hormone therapy, we also offer:
- Hair services
- Body contouring
- Skin rejuvenation
