Hormone deficiency or imbalance commonly involves reproductive hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. However, many other hormones like thyroid, growth hormone, cortisol and DHEA also play critical regulatory roles in the body.
When hormones decline or become imbalanced, even slightly outside optimal ranges, it can negatively impact nearly every system and function. Symptoms manifest differently in each individual but may include:
If left untreated, hormone imbalance can increase risks for:
The first step is advanced diagnostic testing to accurately identify individual hormone levels. At Hormone Harmony Clinic, testing may include:
Genes influence hormone production, metabolism and response to therapies. Genetic analysis allows personalized, precision treatment plans.
Once testing determines specific hormone deficiencies, imbalances or genetic influences, Hormone Harmony Clinic prescribes customized bioidentical hormone therapy tailored to each patient’s physiology and goals.
Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to those naturally produced in the body. This allows perfect fit and recognition by hormone receptors to properly convey messages regulating all bodily processes. They are most often derived from plant compounds.
Conventional hormones like birth control pills or Premarin contain synthetic or non-human hormones that differ from intrinsic human hormones. This can disrupt hormone messaging, potentially causing symptoms and side effects.
Restoring balance with bioidentical hormones regulates health, vitality and wellbeing by:
- Promoting proper metabolic function - Reducing inflammation - Re-establishing healthy cardiovascular dynamics - Normalizing appetite and body weight - Optimizing sleep quality
- Increasing muscle strength, endurance and coordination - Enhancing cognitive function and focus - Bolstering immune defenses
- Regulating menstrual cycles - Relieving perimenopausal/menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness - Restoring libido and sexual performance - Sustaining bone mineral density
- Lifting mood and easing anxiety/depression - Renewing motivation, drive and joy - Boosting self-confidence
- Improving skin elasticity - Reducing wrinkles - Promoting hair regrowth - Building lean muscle - Strengthening bone matrix
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Studies show that when appropriately prescribed, it significantly improves mental health outcomes like depression and anxiety. This helps explain why demand for gender-affirming care is rising.
Our naturopathic doctors and nurses oversee each patient’s bioidentical hormone therapy from start to finish. After designing an individualized BHRT prescription, we provide resources and lifestyle guidance to complement treatment. Follow-ups reassess improvements and adjust protocols accordingly.
Starting hormone therapy requires precautions and oversight for safe, effective administration:
After hormone levels reach optimal ranges and symptoms improve, maintenance therapy continues to sustain balance.
Consistency and persistence are vital. It can take 3-6 months for full therapeutic benefits and typically requires lifelong oversight. Our staff strives to motivate patients through ongoing progress checks and care coordination assistance.

There are various types of hormone replacement and modulation options to suit each patient's needs:
Testosterone deficiency affects over 30% of men by age 50. Low testosterone causes symptoms like:
Testosterone therapy can profoundly improve men’s vitality in body, mind and sexuality.
Benefits include:
If low testosterone gets confirmed through testing, Hormone Harmony Clinic tailors TRT regimens to restore and maintain healthy levels long-term via gels, pellets or injections. Follow-up care ensures efficacy and safety.
Estrogen regulates over 300 processes in females for optimal gene expression, metabolic function and tissue health.
Declining or fluctuating estrogen from menopause, ovaries removal, anorexia or hormonal birth control can cause:
Estrogen therapy, often combined with progesterone counterbalance, alleviates these symptoms through various systemic or local delivery methods to reestablish equilibrium.
The thyroid gland secretes T3 and T4 hormones regulating metabolism, energy, mood and weight.
Hypothyroidism signs may include:
Testing confirms underactivity to guide thyroid hormone supplementation restoring homeostasis. Armour, Nature-Throid or compounded options contain both T3 and T4 thyroid hormones.
Ongoing monitoring ensures adequate thyroid levels while avoiding excess. Diet, lifestyle, nutrient optimization and testing for causes like Hashimoto’s autoimmunity maximize benefits.
Examples of additional hormone modulation options we offer include:
Human growth hormone (HGH) – Improves body composition, skin elasticity, joint comfort, injury healing rates, cognition and quality of life as we age.
Pregnenolone – Aids memory, focus, stress resilience, immunity, energy and mood. Often declines with age.
Progesterone – Regulates menstrual cycles, offers antianxiety and neuroprotective effects, improves sleep quality, balances estrogen effects, relieves PMS symptoms.
DHEA – Bolsters libido, vitality, immunity and bone density. Converts to estrogen and testosterone. Levels peak around age 25 then wane.
Melatonin – Lessens insomnia and jet lag, provides antioxidant actions, anti-inflammatory effects and cancer protective properties. Rhythmic secretion patterns get disrupted by aging, stress or nutrient deficiencies.
Hormone testing and treatment holds low priority in conventional healthcare, despite profound influence on patients’ daily lives. Often symptoms get dismissed or masked with medications without identifying root hormone imbalances that, if left uncorrected, can have disastrous impacts.
Hormone Harmony Clinic puts hormone optimization first because even small deficiencies or disturbances, still in “normal” reference ranges, can greatly hinder wellness. We dig deeper through advanced diagnostics to uncover issues affecting vitality in personalized care plans.
Restoring balance earlier optimizes response, preventing progression to chronic disorders. By listening deeply and addressing root causes, dramatic restoration unfolds gently over time. Our commitment provides patients this gift of vibrant longevity from the inside out.
We hope this overview conveys how hormone testing and therapy offered by Hormone Harmony Clinic’ highly-qualified providers can be truly life-changing. Bioidentical supplementation guided by advanced diagnostics allows complete revitalization on every level when hormones become deficient or imbalanced with age or other causes.
