Benefits of Hormone
Replacement Therapy
Age-related declines in hormone levels associated with menopause and andropause may be the first time that men and women feel “old.” You may notice a drop-off in your physical performance at the gym, a reduced sex drive, or increased fatigue.
These are hormone-related symptoms that both men and women experience as they age. Hormone replacement therapy restores hormonal balance and addresses symptoms such as:
Thyroid Deficiencies
If you’ve been feeling tired or experiencing unexplained weight gain (or loss) even though you haven’t made any particular changes in your diet or lifestyle, you might be suffering from a thyroid deficiency. Hypothyroidism happens when your thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones and for some women, this happens naturally. Hyperthyroidism occurs when your thyroid gland produces too much of the thyroxine hormone. You might not have any initial symptoms when you first develop a thyroid condition, or they may develop slowly over time. You also might assume that when they do start to appear, they are just the normal signs of aging. This is typical of many conditions related to hormonal imbalances, thus the need for hormone replacement. If you’re just not feeling your best, it may be worthwhile to get a health assessment and thyroid test to find out if it is functioning properly.
Relief for Perimenopause & Menopause Symptoms
hen you are in perimenopause (pre-menopause), you might be experiencing hormone changes that are as big as the ones you remember from your adolescence. These hormone changes are why you may be having symptoms such as mood swings, hot flashes and changes in your sex drive and could be menopause. While some of these sudden changes may initially feel frightening, hormone replacement therapy can help you to feel better. At menopause and post-menopause, your hormone levels will be much lower. Despite some of the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause, many women view this as a new and liberating time in their life. We want to make sure it feels like that for you, too.
High Cholesterol Treatment
Talking about high cholesterol can be confusing because you may have heard that there is both “good” and “bad” cholesterol. You may have even heard conflicting information as to whether certain foods should be avoided because of their bad cholesterol content. Our medical team at wants to make sure that your cholesterol remains at healthy levels, and we also don’t want you to feel overwhelmed by too much contradictory information. We’ll explain what levels are healthy specific to your labs and body type, and how you can stay within the appropriate ranges. With a high cholesterol treatment plan, you can rest assured that your are in good hands.
Vitamin Optimization
Vitamin optimization can improve your health. Our medical team will talk to you about healthy diet options that fit within your overall health and lifestyle. You should be getting most of your vitamins and nutrients from food, but vitamin supplements may be helpful or even necessary in some cases. For example, vitamin D is important for your health in many ways, but if you are limiting your sun exposure, you might not get enough just from the sun alone. You may be feeling run down or have other indications that you need vitamin supplements, or we may discover that you need supplements after blood tests as part of a routine exam.
IV Therapy
IV Therapy is a great way to deliver nutrition, vitamins, and electrolytes to give you the boost and energy you crave. IVs are great for hangover relief, anti-inflammatory properties, and immune system boosts.
Diet Plan for Weight Loss
Diet can play a major role in weight management, and choosing the right diet plan for weight loss is very important. Eating the right amount of calories your body needs each day not only provides energy, but gives you the right amount of nutrition to fuel your body. The right diet plan for your body and lifestyle should help you steadily lose weight while still feeling good.
