Experiencing symptoms is a first sign of potential deficiency. However, symptoms alone cannot diagnose the problem.
Comprehensive blood testing is required to check levels of key hormones like testosterone, estrogen, DHEA, thyroid, growth hormone, and more. Testing also checks vitamin levels, inflammatory markers, and other key health indicators.
Results will show where hormone levels fall relative to "normal" ranges. However, optimal ranges are quite individualized, so an experienced hormonal specialist is invaluable for interpretation.
After testing, our clinicians can say definitively whether hormone levels are contributing to symptoms. Treatment is customized based on the deficiencies found.
Ongoing testing helps monitor patient progress and make dosage adjustments over time. We provide convenient blood draws and handle all test orders.
For men over 30, testosterone is one of the most common deficiencies. Low levels lead to low energy, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, mood issues, and low sex drive. This profoundly reduces quality of life.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can effectively and safely reverse these effects when administered properly. TRT provides the body with supplemental testosterone to restore normal levels.
There are several methods of administration:
Our clinicians help patients choose the optimal method based on lifestyle, preferences, and health history.
Dosage must be personalized to reach ideal levels while avoiding unwanted side effects. TRT requires close monitoring, especially at the outset while establishing proper levels. Hormone Harmony specializes in dialing-in dosages for optimal response.
The process of starting TRT generally follows this basic protocol:
TRT can take 3-6 months to achieve full benefits. Most patients report increased energy, sex drive, muscle growth, fat loss, and improved mood within weeks once levels stabilize.
Hormone Harmony monitors patient progress closely and handles all required testing. We utilize best practices refined over years of specialty experience.
A study found that playing the strategy game bridge may help slow cognitive decline in older adults. Researchers suspect the game's mental challenges - evaluating bids, remembering cards played, planning strategy - stimulate the brain in ways that could stave off dementia. So gathering friends around a bridge table could be an enjoyable anti-aging activity for seniors' minds.
While TRT addresses low testosterone, other hormone deficiencies require different treatments:
Growth hormone production declines significantly with age. Deficiency contributes to loss of bone/muscle mass, weight gain, fatigue, and injury risk.
HGH therapy utilizes injections of synthetic growth hormone to restore normal levels. Benefits include enhanced cell regeneration/healing, increased bone density, improved skin elasticity, and reversal of age-related muscle loss.
DHEA provides beneficial impacts to energy, mood, memory, immune function and heart health. Oral DHEA supplementation can relieve deficiency symptoms.
An underactive thyroid slows metabolism leading to fatigue, weight gain and even depression. Careful regulation of thyroid hormones (T3 / T4) brings metabolism back into balance.
Hormone Harmony leverages considerable expertise across a wide range of anti-aging disciplines - not just TRT. We create fully customized treatment plans to address all identified deficiencies simultaneously.
While hormone therapy provides enormous benefits, lifestyle also significantly impacts treatment success.
Patients can optimize overall vitality by adopting habits like:
The Flower Mound area offers a vibrant community and climate well-suited for active lifestyles and spending time outdoors.
There are also many options for relaxation like yoga studios, massage therapy, peaceful walking paths, etc.
When under treatment, this healthcare and lifestyle infrastructure makes it easier to implement positive habits that amplify and sustain treatment gains.
Hormone Harmony guides patients on ancillary lifestyle changes that potentiate treatment success.
If experiencing ongoing fatigue, mental fog, sexual issues, or other hormone-related symptoms, prompt treatment is wise. Deficiencies tend to worsen over time leading to accelerated aging.
Treating imbalances early provides faster relief of symptoms and reduces long-term impacts to health. It can add years to overall vitality and longevity.
Delaying treatment enables deficiencies to further tax vital systems and is correlated to earlier onset of age-related diseases.
