Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has transformed lives in Maxton and surrounding communities. At Rebalance Clinic, our qualified medical staff provides customized hormone therapy to help both men and women struggling with hormone deficiencies. We understand the profound impact that imbalanced hormones can have and are dedicated to improving our patients' wellbeing through safe, effective treatment.
Hormone replacement therapy involves supplementing hormones that your body fails to produce at optimal levels. It can provide relief for symptoms related to:
HRT delivers hormones directly into your bloodstream via pills, patches, gels, injections, or other means determined by your physician. This restores levels back to an adequate range, alleviating unpleasant symptoms.
Benefits of professional hormone replacement administered by specialists like those at Rebalance Clinic include:
The first step is diagnosing if and which hormones are unbalanced. We determine this through comprehensive lab testing analyzing key hormone markers like:
Reference ranges help identify deficient or excessive hormone concentrations. However, optimal health involves maintaining youthful hormone ratios and circadian rhythms. We examine your circadian patterns through additional in-depth testing.
An expanding area of genetics called pharmacogenomics also provides insight into hormone therapy needs by analyzing how your genes influence response. We stay at the scientific forefront to best meet patient needs.
We personalize care based on your:
This integrative approach optimizes safety and effectiveness.
We monitor progress through follow-up testing to ensure hormone normalization within ideal ranges. Most patients enjoy benefits within 3-6 weeks as levels stabilize.
Delivery methods we offer include:
Testosterone, estradiol, and other pellets implanted under the skin continually release hormones over 4-6 months. This achieves stable, sufficient levels without frequent dosing. We use pellets from the highest quality cGMP pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Advantages: Steady, hands-free hormone delivery. Just two 15-minute visits per year for pellets. Safe long-term.
Injectable somatropin growth hormone restores IGF-1 and growth hormone to spur collagen production, muscle growth, weight loss, healing, and vitality.
For convenience, a pen injection device with tiny needles is used at home several times weekly under the skin. We provide training until patients feel comfortable self-injecting.
Advantages: Most direct growth hormone delivery. Patients notice benefits in weeks. Also stimulates testosterone. Lasting fat loss and anti-aging effects.
Testosterone cypionate or enanthate boosts muscle mass, vigor, mental sharpness, mood, and sexual health in men with low testosterone (low T).
Injections are administered weekly or twice weekly. Alternately, some patients use daily testosterone gels, but injections are considered more effective.
Advantages: Dramatic benefits for men with extensive testosterone deficiency. Restores vitality, virility, and physical form.
Transdermal estrogen in patch or bioidentical creams relieves menopause symptoms in women – hot flashes, vaginal dryness, sleep disruption, and emotional changes.
Patches worn on the skin provide steady absorption. Creams allow application to specific genitourinary tissues. We also address progesterone balance in female patients.
Advantages: Localized hormone delivery restoring comfort and femininity from menses to menopause. Convenience of patches. Treatment personalization.
We offer bioidentical hormone medications when appropriate. Custom compounded formulas ensure proper strengths and ratios.
Among medications prescribed are Armour desiccated thyroid, time-released hydrocortisone, DHEA micronized capsules, progesterone pills or troches, pregnenolone capsules, and more to balance sex hormones, adrenals, thyroid function, or support vitality.
Advantages: Restores hormone balance through natural, bioidentical hormones mirroring the molecules your body produces. Avoids side effects of synthetic hormones.
We also help patients adopt lifestyle strategies supporting healthy hormone levels – improved diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, and targeted nutraceuticals or supplements. Our goal is to enhance wellness lifelong through integrated care.
Many hesitate to consider HRT due to misconceptions. We clarify facts disputing common myths:
| Myth | Fact |
|---|---|
| HRT, especially testosterone therapy for men, causes prostate cancer. | Extensive research reveals no compelling evidence for increased prostate cancer risk with testosterone therapy. |
| Taking thyroid hormone when levels are "normal" is unnecessary or unsafe. | People with hypothyroid symptoms yet "normal" lab results may have cellular thyroid deficiency. Triiodothyronine T3 therapy can resolve low-grade hypothyroidism. |
| Bioidentical hormones are not evidence-based. | Bioidenticals identical to endogenous human hormones have the most molecularly sound rational. Quality research demonstrates safety and efficacy. |
| HRT medications cause blood clots and stroke. | Oral and equine estrogen do increase clotting risk significantly. Bioidentical transdermal estrogen does not. |
| HRT causes breast cancer. | Bioidentical progesterone balances estrogens' effects on breast tissue, reducing risk. |
| Men should tolerate testosterone decline as an inevitable part of aging. | Restoring testosterone to healthy ranges provides anti-aging benefits helping men feel vigorous and empowered. |
If you are experiencing low energy, emotional changes, lost libido, cognitive decline, unexplained weight gain, or other issues potentially related to hormone loss, we encourage you to schedule an appointment at Rebalance Clinic rather than waiting.
The longer hormone levels remain suboptimal, the higher likelihood you will develop progressive symptoms and related illnesses. Research confirms significantly elevated long-term health risks without treatment.
However, through personalized care restoring adequate hormone balance, most patients report:
While treatment is effective at any age, those starting HRT in their 40s, 50s, or 60s tend to notice more anti-aging benefits and protective effects against disease.
