Hormone therapy, also known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or endocrine therapy, involves supplementing hormones that are lacking or imbalanced in the body. It can provide relief from unpleasant deficiency signs and promote better overall health and wellbeing when tailored properly to the individual.
Proper hormone balance is essential for physical and mental health. Imbalances can occur due to aging, stress, poor lifestyle habits, medical conditions, or other factors, causing uncomfortable signs and symptoms. Replacement therapy can help restore optimal levels of key hormones.
Hormone therapy may benefit both women and men. It is commonly used during peri- and post-menopause in women, and andropause in men. However, people of any age can experience hormonal imbalances that produce deficiency signs.
Customized bioidentical hormone therapy can help relieve symptoms and promote wellbeing when prescribed appropriately by a knowledgeable healthcare provider. Lifestyle modifications are also important.
Hormone therapy provides the body with hormones that are lacking or out of balance. It works by:
The goal is to supplement only what the body lacks while avoiding excess. This helps minimize side effects. Follow-up tests help determine proper dosage.
The Revive Hormone Clinic specializes in advanced hormone replacement protocols personalized for the unique needs of each patient. We focus on:

While the effects are well-known, research shows hormone therapy also provides mental and emotional benefits - improving quality of life, relationships, and lowering rates of anxiety and depression.
Identifying hormone deficiencies or excesses is the first step in treatment. This involves:
Blood, saliva, or urine tests help identify specific hormone levels. We may check reproductive hormones, adrenal hormones, thyroid hormones, and more based on symptoms.
Along with lab results, we evaluate troublesome signs like fatigue, low libido, hot flashes, erectile dysfunction, and muscle loss that signal imbalances.
Careful testing and assessment provides the information needed to tailor hormone therapy for optimal safety and results. Follow-up testing later also helps monitor progress.
If testing reveals hormone deficiencies or excess, we develop a customized treatment plan that may include:
These identical plant-based hormones mimic what the body produces naturally. They can be dosed precisely based on the individual’s needs.
In some cases, traditional synthetic hormones may be appropriate at the lowest effective dose. We avoid over-prescription.
We can prescribe personalized compounded hormone preparations like gels, creams, tablets, capsules, troches, and injectables in specialized combinations and strengths.
Specific nutritional supplements and diet changes may also help support hormone balance naturally.
We personally discuss all options to choose the safest, most effective plan based on the patient’s health profile and desires.
Maintaining healthy levels of hormones like testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA and others regulates many body processes contributing to wellbeing. Deficiencies or excesses can produce significant symptoms.
In both men and women, testosterone plays a vital role in sex drive, energy levels, muscle and bone strength, fat burning, motivation and mood regulation.
Estrogen in women regulates menstrual cycles and reproduction while supporting heart, bone, brain and skin health. It declines significantly during menopause.
Progesterone works with estrogen to control the menstrual cycle. It has calming, sleep-promoting effects on mood. Declines can lead to unpleasant perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms.
DHEA helps produce other key hormones. It boosts immunity, brain function, mood, cardiovascular health, sexuality, energy levels and bone strength. Levels peak around age 25 then gradually decline.
Balancing these and other vital hormones based on lab testing and symptoms evaluation can enhance wellbeing, vitality and quality of life at any age.
Customized hormone therapy is most effective when combined with positive lifestyle changes like:
