Hormones are essential chemical messengers that regulate many critical bodily functions and processes. When hormone levels become imbalanced, wide-ranging symptoms and health issues can occur. At Optimal Hormone Wellness Center in Palm Beach Gardens, our physicians specialize in customized hormone therapy to help patients regain optimal wellness.
Hormone imbalances can start developing for various reasons. Common causes include:
Symptoms of a hormone deficiency can start mild but worsen over time. Having your hormone levels tested is key for identifying an imbalance early.
Some common signs and symptoms of low hormone levels include:
Men:
Women:
Other symptoms can include hair loss, brittle nails, dry skin, infertility, osteoporosis, and more. Catching and addressing a hormonal imbalance early is crucial for regaining wellness and preventing long-term health consequences.
At Optimal Hormone Wellness Center, we specialize in customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). With BHRT, patients receive hormones that are molecularly identical to the ones produced naturally in the body. This allows for highly customized and safe treatment plans.
Unlike synthetic versions, bioidentical hormones have the same chemical structure as those made naturally in the human body. They are created from plant sources and are not patented - allowing them to be completely customized for each patient's needs versus a one-size-fits-all approach. Common bioidentical hormones prescribed include:
Estrogen
- Estriol (E3)
- Estradiol (E2)
- Estrone (E1)
Testosterone
Progesterone
Thyroid (T3, T4)
Melatonin
- And more
BHRT is available in oral tablets, transdermal creams, injectables, and pellet implants - allowing flexible and convenient dosing methods for the patient.
Compared to synthetic hormone replacement, the benefits of bioidentical HRT are:
Safely administered BHRT can bring dramatic improvements in energy, sleep, mood, sexual health, cognitive ability, and more.
The first step is diagnostic testing to measure current hormone levels and identify any deficiencies to treat. Starting doses and monitoring progress through lab work allows for a data-driven approach. Follow up appointments then optimize and refine the customized therapy plan based on the patient's response and goals.
We also provide nutrition and lifestyle guidance as these complementary areas are key for hormonal health. Hormone optimization allows patients to thrive and reach their full potential.
For men, testosterone is fundamental for vitality, strength, sexual and cognitive health. When levels drop abnormally, andropause sets in and quality of life plummets. At Optimal Hormone Wellness Center, we use bioidentical testosterone therapy to safely restore balance for men.
Testosterone levels peak for men during their late teens to early twenties. After age 30, they begin declining about 1-3% per year on average. But modern sedentary lifestyles, chronic stress, and poor diets cause earlier and steeper drops for many men.
Symptoms of low testosterone ("low T") include:
If left unaddressed, low T can contribute to obesity, osteoporosis, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes over the long-term. Thankfully testosterone therapy can reverse this downward spiral.
Clinical studies show testosterone therapy helps men in a variety of ways:
At Optimal Hormone Wellness Center, we use advanced testing and the latest bioidentical hormone therapies to help men regain their vitality. Treatment plans are fully customized to the patient for optimal safety and results. We also provide comprehensive lifestyle, nutrition, and wellness coaching.
With our integrated care model focused specifically on hormone optimization for men - patients report excellent outcomes including:
We empower men to thrive again biologically, mentally, physically. If you're struggling with symptoms of low testosterone, we can help.
For women, balanced estrogen, progesterone and testosterone levels are essential for overall health. During perimenopause and menopause, depleted hormones contribute to disruptive symptoms impacting quality of life. At Optimal Hormone Wellness Center, we successfully treat hormone imbalances helping women feel like themselves again.
Perimenopause is the transitional stage leading up to menopause, lasting up to 10 years for some women. During this phase, progesterone levels start to drop while estrogen levels fluctuate erratically. These shifting hormones cause symptoms like hot flashes/night sweats, irregular periods, trouble sleeping, and mood changes.
Eventually periods end permanently marking menopause - the end of a women's reproductive years. This milestone usually occurs between 45-55 years old. In addition to hormonal imbalance, menopause contributes significantly to risks of heart disease, osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, and obesity if not properly addressed.
Post-menopause is the stage beyond final menstrual periods where treatment focuses on maintaining health and preventing long-term issues through hormone optimization.
While menopause is inevitable, women don't have to endure disruptive symptoms that erode wellbeing and health. Through expertly prescribed bioidentical hormone replacement tailored to the individual, we help women find relief.
Benefits our patients report include:
Balancing hormones alleviates distressing menopause issues allowing women to truly thrive in this next chapter of life.
In addition to bioidentical estrogen/progesterone therapy, we also provide:
With our integrated care model focused specifically on women’s hormone optimization - patients report excellent menopause relief, health improvements, and an overall increased zest for life!
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Surprisingly, recent research found that it may also have cognitive benefits - transgender women undergoing estrogen therapy performed better on certain verbal memory tests compared to transgender men taking testosterone.
Catching and correcting hormone imbalances early is key for maintaining wellness and preventing future disease. If left unchecked for too long, the downstream consequences of deficiencies negatively impact one’s quality and longevity of life.
Research clearly links unaddressed hormone imbalances to higher risks of:
The wide-ranging symptoms that prompt patients to initially seek help are warning signs of larger issues brewing internally. Identifying and treating hormone deficiencies early is crucial for avoiding long-term harm.
Attempting to fix hormone issues without proper testing is challenging. Accurately measuring key hormone levels - estrogen, testosterone, thyroid, etc. establishes baselines to compare against optimal ranges based on the patient’s age and gender.
Armed with lab results and medical history, our physicians then diagnose specific deficiencies and customize effective treatment plans. Follow up bloodwork lets us refine therapies to achieve ideal hormone balance unique to the individual.
At Optimal Hormone Wellness Center, supporting test results drive our data-focused approach for the the best patient outcomes. We also track subjective symptom improvements patients report as therapy progresses.
Prompt diagnosis leads to proper treatment restores wellness.
