When hormone levels decline, whether due to natural aging or other factors, it can have a major impact on your physical and emotional health.

If you've noticed frustrating symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, low libido, hot flashes, or mood changes, hormone imbalance may be to blame. Replacing deficient hormones can often relieve these issues and help you feel healthy again. Here's an overview of how hormone replacement therapy works:
The first step is specialized blood and saliva testing to check levels of key hormones like estrogen, testosterone, thyroid hormone (T3, T4), cortisol, DHEA, and more. Testing provides objective data on your hormonal status to guide customized treatment. We'll also assess your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle habits.
There are various safe and effective options for delivering supplemental hormones, including:
Hormone Harmony Clinic will determine the best delivery methods tailored for you. The goal is to restore each hormone to optimal levels within the normal healthy range.
Hormone levels fluctuate constantly, so testing is repeated around 6 weeks after starting therapy. Your physician will review the results, evaluate your symptom improvements, and make dosage or medication adjustments as needed until hormone optimization is achieved. Follow-up care continues at regular intervals to sustain long-term benefits.
With an individualized treatment plan from our hormone experts, most patients feel noticeable improvements within the first few months. Consistency is key - it may take 6 months or more to fully correct some hormonal imbalances. Hormone Harmony Clinic will partner with you each step of the way.
