Hormone Balancing

Maintaining proper levels of hormones, including male and female hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone, but also adrenal hormones like cortisol, as well as and thyroid hormones and growth hormone, help you to look, feel, and perform at your best. We do targeted testing and help you balance your hormones using diet, supplementation, and bioidentical hormone replacement aka BHRT.

Hormones may become imbalanced due to a variety of factors, including stress, exposure to toxins in our food, air, and water, chronic disease, as well as due to aging itself.

Conditions that may benefit from hormone balancing include: PMS, menstrual irregularities, fibroids, ovarian cysts, osteoporosis (bone loss), menopause, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, sagging or wrinkling of skin, hair loss, muscle weakness, unwanted facial hair, PCOS, infertility, sexual dysfunction (erection issues, low libido), mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, irritability and anger; migraines and headaches, weight gain, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, and various autoimmune disorders.

Hormone Replacement Therapy in Sherman Oaks

Hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, is generally used for women to replace the estrogen or other hormones that your body stops making during menopause (although men dealing with hormonal imbalances can also benefit from their own form of HRT — more on that below).

While hormone replacement therapy has a variety of uses, it’s most commonly used to treat menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and vaginal discomfort. Hormone replacement therapy has also been successfully used to prevent bone loss and limit fracture in postmenopausal women.
The Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy

There are many reasons why someone would want to take hormone replacement therapy. Here are four benefits of HRT for women.

• Relieves symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats
• Improves sleep
• Eases vaginal discomfort such as vaginal dryness and itching
• Reduces pain associated with sex

Who Can Benefit From HRT?

Hormone replacement therapy can be beneficial for many women. HRT can be a great option for women who have moderate to severe hot flashes or other symptoms related to menopause.

Hormone replacement therapy is also beneficial for women who need to prevent bone loss or fractures. Lastly, HRT is great for women who experience early menopause or have an estrogen deficiency.
Signs You Need Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone replacement therapy isn’t always a necessary treatment. However, there are signs that you should consider HRT.

• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Vaginal dryness
• Low sex-drive
• Mood changes
• Irritability
• Problems with sleep

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men

Although HRT is most commonly prescribed for women dealing with the effects of menopause, men who are suffering the effects of lower testosterone and other hormone imbalances can also benefit from their own forms of HRT such as testosterone replacement.

You may need HRT for men if you are experiencing symptoms such as weight gain, lower sex drive, decreased muscle mass and low energy. Consult Dr. Fischer at Vitality Integrative Medicine to find out if you’re a good candidate for hormone replacement therapy.
