What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
At New Day Wellness, we offer hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as a personalized treatment designed to restore hormonal balance and alleviate symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances or deficiencies. As we age, particularly during perimenopause, menopause, or andropause, the body’s natural hormone production can decline, leading to a variety of symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, decreased libido, and sleep disturbances. HRT involves the careful administration of bioidentical hormones—hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the body—to bring your levels back into balance. With the guidance of our experienced medical team, we tailor an HRT plan to meet your specific needs, helping you feel more energized, focused, and balanced, while improving your overall quality of life. Whether through creams, pellets, injections, or patches, our approach is designed to restore harmony to your body’s hormone levels safely and effectively.
HOW DOES HRT WORK?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) works by replenishing the hormones that your body may no longer produce in sufficient amounts, particularly during life stages like menopause or andropause, or due to certain medical conditions. The therapy typically involves using bioidentical hormones—hormones that are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces—to restore hormonal balance and alleviate symptoms caused by deficiencies.
The process begins with a thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional, who assesses your medical history, symptoms, and hormone levels through blood or saliva tests. Based on these results, a personalized treatment plan is developed, which may involve various forms of hormone administration, such as oral tablets, topical creams or gels, patches, pellets, or injections. These hormones are absorbed by your body to replenish the levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or thyroid hormones that may have declined, helping to restore your body’s natural rhythm.
By balancing these hormones, HRT can address a range of symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, decreased libido, and difficulty sleeping. For men, testosterone replacement can help with low energy, muscle loss, and diminished sexual drive. HRT not only alleviates symptoms but can also improve overall quality of life by supporting mood, energy levels, bone density, and cognitive function. Throughout the treatment, your healthcare provider will monitor your progress, adjusting dosages as needed to ensure that your hormone levels remain in a healthy, optimal range.
YOU MAY NEED HRT IF YOU HAVE THESE SYMPTOMS:
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be an option if you’re experiencing symptoms related to hormonal imbalances or deficiencies. Common signs that could indicate you may benefit from HRT include:
Hot Flashes and Night Sweats: Sudden feelings of intense heat or sweating, often associated with menopause, are common signs of a hormonal imbalance.
Fatigue: Unexplained tiredness or a significant drop in energy levels, even with adequate sleep, can signal a need for hormone support.
Mood Swings or Irritability: Sudden changes in mood, anxiety, or depression may occur when hormone levels fluctuate, especially during menopause or perimenopause.
Sleep Disturbances: Difficulty falling or staying asleep, or waking up feeling unrested, is a common symptom linked to hormonal changes.
Decreased Libido: A reduced interest in sex or difficulty achieving satisfaction may be a sign of low estrogen or testosterone levels.
Weight Gain or Difficulty Losing Weight: Hormonal imbalances, particularly a drop in estrogen or thyroid hormones, can affect metabolism and lead to unwanted weight gain or difficulty losing weight.
Vaginal Dryness or Discomfort: A decline in estrogen levels can lead to dryness, discomfort, or pain during intercourse.
Memory Issues or Brain Fog: Difficulty concentrating, memory lapses, or “brain fog” can be linked to hormonal fluctuations, particularly in women during perimenopause and menopause.
Hair Thinning or Loss: Low levels of estrogen or testosterone can lead to hair thinning, changes in hair texture, or increased hair loss.
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, consulting with a healthcare provider can help determine if HRT is the right solution for you. A personalized treatment plan can help restore hormonal balance and improve overall well-being.
