Hormone imbalances can negatively impact both men and women. As we age, hormone levels naturally decline, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Rebalancing hormones through hormone therapy helps alleviate issues caused by deficiencies.
At Optimal Hormone Solutions in Brentwood, our physicians have extensive training and experience using bioidentical hormones to restore optimal levels. We create customized treatment plans to resolve deficiency signs and help patients feel their best.
Hormone levels can become imbalanced for various reasons. Common causes include:
Recognizing what disrupts healthy hormonal pathways empowers patients to make positive lifestyle adjustments. Our physicians provide in-depth assessments to pinpoint root causes of imbalance.
Imbalances manifest differently depending on which hormones are affected. However, several key signs suggest declining hormones:
Tracking symptoms enables early detection, allowing treatment before major complications develop. Our staff teaches patients how to monitor warning signs suggestive of hormonal decline.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) restores balance using bioidentical hormones matching natural chemical structures. Outcomes often improve multiple aspects of health and wellness.
Balancing hormones alleviates discomforting menopause or andropause symptoms. Patients report enhanced:
With deficiency correction, patients feel like “their old selves” again - active, sharp and youthful.
Research confirms hormone optimization lowers risks for various chronic illnesses including:
By identifying and treating hormone imbalance early, rapid declines in health can be prevented.
Balanced hormones keep patients vibrant as they age. Key effects include:
Supporting the endocrine system with HRT helps sustain youth, function and quality of life over time.
The first step at Optimal Hormone Solutions is comprehensive lab testing and clinical evaluation. We screen for hormonal imbalances and associated risks for age-related diseases.
Sensitive blood tests measure free and total hormone levels for:
Testing provides objective data revealing individual deficiencies and excesses. Follow up panels track patient progress on therapies.
In addition to lab work, we evaluate current lifestyle habits and medical histories including:
Multidimensional data paints a complete picture of each patient’s unique risks and needs.
After thorough evaluation, our clinicians design tailored regimens to restore balance.
For peri/postmenopausal women, we commonly prescribe:
Dosing begins low, gradually adjusting until symptoms resolve and labs normalize. Hormone cycling, drug delivery methods and nutrient cofactors further personalize care.
In andropausal/hypogonadal men, we often use:
As with women, careful titration in men minimizes risks and amplifies benefits. Follow up blood work ensures optimal dosing.
NOTE: We never prescribe “one-size-fits all” protocols. Each regimen matches the patient’s unique needs for safe, effective restoration of balance.
HRT works best alongside nutrition and lifestyle modification. We educate patients about supporting wellness through:
Specific dietary supplements maintain hormonal pathways:
These nutrients provide necessary cofactors for hormone production, binding and signaling. Deficiencies exacerbate imbalance.
Managing stress effectively minimizes hormonal disruption:
Learning stress resilience gives patients more control over health.
Regular activity sustains hormone responsiveness:
As little as 30 minutes daily activity generates substantial benefit. Our staff provides customized guides patients can perform near home.
Hormones require adequate sleep and circadian alignment. We offer tips to enhance sleep such as:
Supporting healthy sleep often results in dramatic improvements in energy, mood and hormone balance.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Studies show that access to gender-affirming care significantly reduces rates of anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation in this population. Hormone therapy plays an important role in supporting transgender people's mental health and well-being.
