Hormones are powerful chemical messengers that play a central role in regulating many critical bodily functions. When hormone levels drop below optimal ranges, wide-ranging symptoms and health issues can occur. Re-balancing hormones through natural hormone therapy and lifestyle changes provides outstanding benefits for both women and men.
Hormones coordinate activities ranging from reproduction, growth and development, metabolism and appetite, mood and cognition, sleep cycles, and more. Imbalances can severely impact quality of life while also elevating risks for chronic diseases. Key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormone, cortisol and others work synergistically to keep us functioning at our best.
Symptoms of low hormones vary by gender and individual but often include:
If multiple symptoms are significantly impacting daily activities for an extended time, hormone testing is warranted. Harmony Hormone Center offers state-of-the art testing and customized treatment plans to restore optimal hormone balance.
Harmony Hormone Center goes beyond the standard care model to thoroughly assess the unique needs of each patient. We determine root causes of imbalances, not just symptoms. HRT plans emphasize natural bioidentical hormones, nutrition, supplements and lifestyle changes for holistic healing.
We utilize advanced medical tests to measure hormone, nutrient and metabolism markers. This data reveals specific deficiencies to target. Testing may include:
No two patients have identical health profiles and needs. We carefully analyze testing results and tailor multifaceted, integrative treatment plans to optimize hormone balance and function. These include:
Bioidentical hormone replacement: Plant-based hormones identical to human hormones restore optimal levels. Options include pills, pellets, gels, patches and creams.
Lifestyle/diet modifications: We provide customized nutrition and fitness guidance, stress reduction techniques, sleep hygiene and more to support hormone health from inside and out. Referrals to specialty providers like nutritionists or physical therapists are readily available.
Targeted supplements/medications: Specific nutraceuticals, vitamins and minerals may be recommended based on deficiencies revealed by testing. We also prescribe medications as needed while aiming to reduce conventional medication use when possible.
Hormone therapy requires ongoing fine tuning and monitoring to keep levels optimized. We schedule regular follow up visits to track progress, repeat lab testing, and modify protocols. The goal is for patients to feel and function their best long-term.
Our top priorities are listening compassionately, educating patients fully on all aspects of treatment, carefully tracking progress, and offering exceptional accessibility. We work closely as a team and leverage collective knowledge to solve challenges. Your health goals become our shared mission.
Hormones and related regulatory systems are highly complex. But with today's expanding medical knowledge, restoring balance significantly improves quality and longevity of life. Harmony Hormone Center offers cutting edge testing, plus access to the latest research for hormone treatment breakthroughs.
Common therapies for perimenopause, menopause and age-related declines include:
Benefits may include: enhanced energy, mental sharpness and productivity; improved emotional outlook and sleep quality; weight normalization; healthier hair, skin and nails; better balance and coordination; restored sex drive and function; stronger bones, muscles and heart health.
As testosterone declines with age, many aspects of men's health deteriorate. Symptoms include: fatigue, depression and irritability; erectile dysfunction; decreased muscle, bone mass and sports performance; weight gain and body composition shifts; low libido; mental fog.
Testosterone therapy brings transformative improvements through stabilizing energy levels, mood, and sleep quality while restoring fitness capacity, body composition and sex drive. Supportive nutrients like vitamin D also provide major benefits.
For both genders, Harmony Hormone Center also successfully treats thyroid disorders, cortisol excess or deficiency, growth hormone deficits and other complex hormone imbalances. We leverage comprehensive testing and follow international best practice treatment guidelines.

The big five are estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol and thyroid hormone. Deficits in these hormones produce the widest range of effects although other hormones like DHEA and growth hormone also greatly impact function.
The intricate feedback loops between glands like ovaries, testes, adrenals and pituitary gland become strained. Lifestyle factors like inactivity, poor diet and chronic stress also substantially alter hormone metabolism and cell signaling over decades. Genetic predispositions play a role too.
Most patients record significant gains around 4-6 weeks on an optimized treatment plan. However, timing varies based on type of hormones replaced, administration method, dosage, lifestyle habits and adherence levels. We monitor progress closely and adapt approaches until patients report feeling their best.
Natural bioidentical hormones match human hormones molecularly so the body readily recognizes and utilizes them. Synthetic non-bioidentical hormones often produce negative side effects. Harmony Hormone Center specializes exclusively in bioidentical hormones for improved safety, efficacy and patient satisfaction.
