Hormone imbalances can negatively impact quality of life. When hormones like testosterone, estrogen, thyroid, cortisol etc. are too high or too low, you may experience symptoms like:
Causes of hormonal dysfunction include:
Getting a blood test is the best way to identify a hormonal imbalance. If caught early, hormone issues can often be corrected with lifestyle changes or hormone replacement therapy from a clinic like Balance Hormone Clinic.
The first step is getting the right lab testing done to check your hormone levels. We provide blood tests that assess:
Symptoms are often nonspecific, but those experiencing fatigue, weight gain, low libido, anxiety, hot flashes or other unexplained symptoms may want to get tested.
People over age 40, or with risk factors like obesity, diabetes, chronic stress, may also consider testing as hormones decline with age.
If blood tests show your hormone levels are suboptimal, hormone therapy can help restore balance. Potential benefits include:
If you are diagnosed with a hormone deficiency, we will design a customized treatment plan that is right for your needs.
Depending on the hormone(s) involved, we may recommend:
We closely monitor your hormone levels and symptoms to ensure maximum safety and benefits. Adjustments to dosing or medications may be needed over time.
Follow up blood tests are done periodically to assess hormone levels and treatment progress. Most patients need life-long management once deficiency is confirmed.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Studies show that after transitioning with hormones, psychological functioning and quality of life improve, suicide rates decrease, and overall well-being increases dramatically. This affirms that supporting a transgender person's transition facilitates health and happiness.
The negative effects of hormone imbalance tend to worsen over time. Prompt diagnosis and treatment can halt or reverse issues before permanent damage occurs.
Left untreated, the risks include:
Do not brush off nonspecific symptoms as “normal aging”. Getting tested can help optimize wellness as you get older.

Eating a diet rich in produce, lean proteins and healthy fats helps regulate hormones. We suggest:
Vitamins & minerals like magnesium, zinc and vitamin D also support hormone pathways.
Chronic stress raises cortisol, which can disrupt other hormones. Relaxation practices like yoga, meditation, massage and nature therapy promote balance.
Aim for 7-9 hours per night. Lack of sleep negatively impacts hormone function and metabolism.
Make sleep a priority by having a consistent bedtime routine and limiting electronics before bed. Consider melatonin if needed.
