Deep Dive: Male & Female Hormone Therapy
Personalized hormone therapy to restore balance, improve energy, and enhance your quality of life.
Why Hormone Balance Matters
Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone play fundamental roles in your energy, mood, metabolism, sexual health, and longevity. When levels shift—due to aging, perimenopause, menopause, or andropause—it can affect your vitality and daily life. Naturopathic hormone optimization aims to identify imbalances and restore equilibrium in a tailored, sustainable way. When levels are too low, too high, or out of sync, you can feel it in every aspect of your life.
Female Hormone Therapy (HRT / BHRT):
We offer personalized care that may include FDA-approved hormones. Chosen based on your symptoms, labs, and health history. For those with an intact uterus, progesterone is paired with estrogen to reduce endometrial cancer risk. Hormones are available in various forms: oral, patch, creams, gels, or pellets.
Key Benefits:
- Relief from hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness
- Bone protection and reduced risk of osteoporosis
- Improved sleep, energy, libido, and overall quality of life
Male Hormone Therapy (Testosterone / Androgen Optimization):
When low testosterone contributes to fatigue, low libido, or decreased muscle mass, we evaluate and optimize levels using evidence-backed protocols—tailored to your health profile.
Key Benefits:
- Enhanced energy, mood, muscle strength, and body composition
- Improved sexual function and bone health

FAQ
Common signs of imbalance include fatigue, mood changes, low libido, hot flashes, weight gain, poor sleep, or brain fog. We use a combination of your symptoms, health history, and advanced lab testing to determine if hormone therapy is right for you.
When monitored carefully and tailored to each individual, hormone therapy can be safe and effective. Risks depend on factors like age, medical history, and type of hormone used. That’s why we personalize every plan and re-test regularly to ensure safety and balance.
Some people feel improvements in energy, sleep, and mood within a few weeks, while deeper changes like metabolism, body composition, and bone strength may take several months. Regular follow-ups ensure your therapy stays on track.
Not necessarily. Some patients choose long-term support, while others use it for a few years during major transitions like menopause. Our goal is to find the minimal effective dose and duration for your needs, always reevaluating your plan as your health evolves.
