Hormone imbalances can negatively impact quality of life. Symptoms may include fatigue, weight gain, low libido, anxiety, and depressed mood. Causes range from aging to chronic stress. At Renewal Hormone Clinic in Newberry, we specialize in bioidentical hormone therapy to help patients restore optimal hormonal balance.
Hormone levels naturally decline with age, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Other factors like chronic stress, poor diet, and certain medical conditions also impact hormone regulation. Common imbalances include low testosterone in men and low estrogen/progesterone in women. Genetics and lifestyle choices also play a role.
How do you know if your hormones are out of balance? Symptoms may be vague and develop gradually over time. For both men and women, fatigue, weight gain, low sex drive, and mood changes can indicate underlying hormone issues. Specific symptoms also depend on which hormones are affected. Our clinicians can evaluate symptoms and order lab testing to check individual hormone levels.
We recognize that no two patients are alike when it comes to hormones. That's why our clinicians take a personalized, whole-person approach focused on optimal wellness for each individual. We partner with patients to develop customized treatment plans that address lifestyle factors along with medical therapies like bioidentical hormones and nutritional supplements when needed. Ongoing fine-tuning helps patients achieve their health goals.
Balanced hormones are key for sustaining health, vitality and an overall sense of wellbeing. The right treatment plan can help patients feel like their best selves again. Benefits may include:
Fatigue and low energy drain life of its joy. By identifying and addressing the root hormonal causes, many patients report significant improvements in daily energy levels, allowing them to pursue passions and spend quality time with loved ones.
Hormone imbalances frequently cause unwanted weight gain and difficulty losing weight despite diet and exercise efforts. Restoring hormones to optimal levels helps normalize metabolism and makes it easier to achieve and maintain a healthy body composition.
Hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone directly impact mood regulation and stress resilience. Balancing hormones often leads to better mood, decreased anxiety and an overall greater sense of wellbeing. Our mind and body are interconnected - optimizing one supports the other.
Low testosterone and menopause in women often substantially reduce libido and sexual satisfaction. Bioidentical hormone therapy can dramatically improve libido and sexual function when hormone imbalances are at the root cause. Feeling desire again positively impacts relationships and quality of life.
Aging inevitability changes our hormone physiology, but symptoms can be minimized. TRT therapy may help both men and women age optimally, keeping strength, vitality, cognition and sexuality intact for more years. Who doesn't want that?
The first step is suspecting that lingering symptoms may reflect an underlying hormone issue. But how do you know for sure? We provide cutting-edge diagnostic testing and evaluations.
Relevant blood and sometimes salivary labs give us objective data about specific hormone levels. Based on a patient's symptoms and health history, we can order the appropriate tests to check testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, cortisol and more.
While lab work is crucial, the full picture requires a broader assessment. Our clinicians use specialized intakes and surveys to understand lifestyle, exposures, genetic risks, chronic stress, nutrition and other health factors along with a detailed history of symptoms.
Genes impact how we metabolize and utilize hormones. Our advanced genetic panels help predict responses to therapies based on a patient's unique biology. We can even assess risk factors for hormone-sensitive cancers to optimize prevention.
By combining lab testing with our specialized assessments, we can zero in on the likely causes of hormone issues and personalized solutions for each patient.
Balancing key hormones often requires supplementing the body's low levels. Bioidentical hormone therapy can restore optimal testosterone in men and estrogen/progesterone in women when the body fails to produce enough.
Bioidentical hormones have a molecular structure identical to those naturally made by the human body. That means they can bind receptors and mimic functions seamlessly once absorbed. Common bioidenticals include testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and DHEA.
Prescription synthetic hormones like birth control pills and Premarin have a different molecular structure. Many patients tolerate bioidenticals better with fewer side effects. Our compounded bioidenticals are customized for each person's needs and metabolic factors. The end result - improved symptom relief!
We offer diverse bioidentical hormone preparations including sublingual drops, topical gels, injectables like testosterone cypionate and extended release pellets for sustained delivery. Pellet implants placed under the skin every 3-5 months are popular for stable dosing. We'll help you find your optimal regimen.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. While the effects of hormone treatment are well-known, research has found that it also leads to changes in aspects of visual and spatial working memory performance, suggesting that sex hormones help shape not only the structure but also the function of the brain.
Conveniently located in Newberry, Renewal Hormone Clinic provides cutting-edge hormone replacement therapy tailored to address each patient's unique needs and health goals.
Our clinicians take time to understand your health history, symptoms, lifestyle and preferences in order to create fully customized treatment plans. We see each person as a whole, not just a collection of lab values.
With advanced training in age management medicine, natural hormone therapy and genetics, our staff brings deep expertise in complex hormone issues. We stay on top of the latest research and best practices.
Hormones fluctuate, so effective treatment requires adaptability. We provide close follow-up and ongoing adjustments so patients enjoy balanced hormones and optimal wellness for the long run.
In addition to hormone testing and bioidentical therapies, we offer nutritional support, stress reduction techniques and fitness guidance when helpful. Balanced nutrition, movement, mindset and social connection all influence hormone health.
In addition to medical interventions, making certain lifestyle adjustments often supports better hormone balance and overall vitality.
What we eat sends signals throughout the hormonal network. Choosing natural, colorful, minimally processed whole foods provides the essential building blocks hormones need for optimal regulation.
Unmanaged stress taxes adrenal glands and disrupts delicate hormonal feedback loops. Carving out downtime to socially connect, relax and prioritize self-care can improve resilience.
Hormone production follows circadian rhythms tied to natural light/dark cycles. Make sleep a priority by sticking to consistent bedtimes, limiting caffeine/alcohol, and creating an environment conducive to rest.
Exercise helps regulate insulin, cortisol, sex hormones and growth factors through multiple mechanisms. Even light daily movement pays dividends for hormone health. We can provide personalized tips.
To get the most out of treatment, keep these key points in mind:
Restoring optimal hormone levels often takes some trial and error coupled with lifestyle adjustments. Having realistic expectations and patience helps. We'll collaborate to find your perfect regimen.
To support our clinicians' expert guidance, do your best to implement nutritional, exercise, stress reduction and sleep hygiene recommendations provided. Small steps add up.
Keeping a daily log of your energy, mood, sexual function, sleep and motivation can help us fine-tune therapies to keep you feeling your best. Feedback is invaluable.
We'll order lab tests at regular intervals to ensure hormone levels are ideal while monitoring for safety. Dose adjustments require understanding changes. Testing provides objective clarity.
