Hormones like testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA and others play crucial regulatory roles in our bodies. When levels fall out of optimal ranges, wide-ranging symptoms and health declines often result. Common reasons for declines include aging, high stress, poor diet, inactivity and toxins. At Harmony Hormone Clinic in Greenwich, Connecticut, we specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to restore balance. Read on to learn about common hormonal imbalances, symptoms, treatment options and why our clinic offers comprehensive care.
Detecting hormone imbalances early is key for prompt, effective treatment. Common lab tests check levels of:
Testosterone promotes libido, energy, lean muscle mass, motivation and more in both sexes. Low testosterone or “Low T” is increasingly common, especially in aging men but also women in perimenopause and menopause. Symptoms include low libido, fatigue, weight gain and reduced strength.
The estrogens estradiol, estrone and estriol regulate women’s reproductive health, bone density, heart function, skin and hair health, and more. Declining estrogen underlies issues like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, insomnia, osteoporosis and emotional changes for midlife women.
Thyroid, DHEA, progesterone, cortisol and other hormones also frequently decline, causing tiredness, trouble losing weight, low mood, gastrointestinal issues, sleep disruption and additional widespread effects.
At Harmony Hormone Clinic, we provide cutting-edge hormone tests to uncover the unique imbalances underlying your symptoms. Our physicians closely analyze results to determine ideal treatment plans.
Once we identify your hormonal deficiencies, customized bioidentical hormone therapy aims to restore optimal balance for full health benefits.
