Hormone therapy is the use of hormones to supplement low hormone levels and treat symptoms related to hormone imbalances and deficiencies. At Optimal Hormone Health Center, we specialize in hormone therapies including testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), hormone replacement therapy (HRT), thyroid medications, growth hormones, and others.
Our experienced hrt specialist doctors can properly diagnose hormone imbalances through comprehensive testing and analysis. We then create customized treatment plans to restore hormone levels to optimal ranges and alleviate troubling symptoms. The goal is to help patients regain energy, strength, mental clarity, lean muscle mass, strong bones, improved mood, healthy libido, weight management, and an overall enhanced sense of health and well-being.
Both men and women can develop hormone deficiencies for many reasons as they age or due to medical conditions. Common symptoms indicating low testosterone in men include fatigue, depression, irritability, loss of muscle mass and strength, weight gain, poor concentration, and erectile dysfunction. For women, symptoms of conditions like menopause and perimenopause related to low estrogen and progesterone can consist of hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, decreased libido, mood changes, trouble sleeping, and accelerated bone loss.
Other hormones like cortisol, thyroid, melatonin, insulin, and growth hormone also often decline with age. Our expert hrt doctors conduct advanced testing to pinpoint imbalances and determine if hormone therapy is warranted based on your symptoms and test results.
We start the process by gathering a full medical history, performing lab testing, analyzing hormone blood levels, evaluating risk factors, discussing treatment options, and developing a customized treatment protocol designed just for you. Follow-up testing determines how your body responds so that continued adjustments can be made to optimize your hormone levels within targeted ranges for your age and gender.
Getting your hormones balanced under the supervision of one of our hrt specialist physicians provides extensive benefits including:
At Optimal Hormone Health Center, we offer a full range of men’s and women’s hormone therapies, overseen by our dedicated hrt specialist doctors who are highly qualified with extensive training and expertise in this field.
One of the most common hormone deficiencies, especially in men over 30, is low testosterone or “low T”. And one of our most popular treatment therapies is TRT (testosterone replacement therapy), which helps restore healthy testosterone levels.
Benefits of TRT for Men:
Our expert TRT physicians tailor treatment plans to your unique physiology using gels, creams, patches, pellets, or carefully calibrated injections to bring your testosterone to optimal levels. Follow up blood tests and adjustments ensure maximum safety and ideal therapeutic range is maintained.
The TRT process begins with comprehensive lab testing to accurately measure testosterone and other hormone levels and assess health parameters. Our hrt doctors then determine if TRT is right for you, or if other underlying issues need to be addressed first.
If low testosterone is in fact the cause of your symptoms, we customize your dosage, method of delivery, and ongoing monitoring plan. Additional lifestyle, dietary and fitness changes we may recommend can further boost the benefits of therapy.
Eden's abundance of sunny days, walking trails, nutritious cuisine, yoga studios and gyms provide an ideal environment to integrate therapeutic lifestyle components into your treatment plan.
Follow ups occur at regular intervals to check on progress and make adjustments to keep you consistently thriving. We collaborate care with your other healthcare providers for optimal wellness support.
If low testosterone goes untreated for too long, symptoms tend to worsen over time. Research shows this can result in loss of vitality, independence, mental sharpness and even length of life. So acting in a timely manner to get properly assessed and receive TRT under medical supervision if warranted is highly recommended.
Optimal Hormone Health Center has extensive education, training and clinical experience in TRT therapy for ensuring safe, effective treatment and an enhanced quality of life. Contact us today to see if our customized program is right for you!
Another very common hormone deficiency, especially among women over 40, is reduced estrogen and progesterone production leading up to, during and after menopause. At Optimal Hormone Health Center, we provide expert care in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to relieve symptoms and support graceful, healthy aging.
Benefits of HRT:
As leaders in women’s hormone therapy, our credentialed hrt doctors offer a diversity of natural estrogen and progesterone regimens including pills, patches, gels, suppository pessaries, injectable pellets, and vaginal inserts to cater to each woman’s unique needs. We carefully calibrate dosages and delivery methods to complement your body’s intricacies for safety and utmost therapeutic integrity.
Allowing menopausal symptoms and risks posed by long term estrogen deficiency to go unmanaged can result in higher likelihood of heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, incontinence and more. So seeking proper evaluation and treatment if appropriate is critical, especially in the first years after menopause begins when hormone levels plunge rapidly.

Since hormone balance is highly specific to each individual, accurately assessing if treatment is needed is an intricate process. At Optimal Hormone Health Center, we conduct multi-faceted diagnostic testing and collaborate with your other healthcare providers to gain a comprehensive snapshot of your overall wellness before creating customized therapies.
The first indication hormone imbalances may be present is experiencing common symptoms associated with deficiencies of key hormones like estrogen, testosterone, thyroid, cortisol etc. However, some patients may have underlying issues not related to hormones causing similar symptoms that need to be rule out first. Our expert analysis helps determine root causes.
We utilize advanced medical diagnostics labs for blood, saliva, urine and tissue testing to actually measure hormone levels and analyze how they deviate from optimal ranges. This objective data coupled with your symptoms provides clues to matching appropriate therapies. Ongoing testing determines treatment effectiveness.
We evaluate risk factors like high toxicity levels, obesity, inflammation, insulin resistance, infections, high stress, malnutrition, genetics, medications and illnesses that could sabotage hormonal balance. Correcting these issues bolsters resilience and amplifies therapy benefits.
Our years of experience interpreting intricate diagnostic results allows us to strategize bigger picture connections and design cohesive action plans to resolve hormone dysfunction at its roots for sustained harmony. We partner closely with patients to track progress and modify approaches as needed.
Taking these diligent diagnostic steps before initiating treatment ensures finest accuracy, safety and clinical outcomes. Contact us today to begin your hormone therapy journey on solid footing!
