Hormone Replacement Therapy at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine

Hormones influence nearly every function in the body, and their levels can shift over time due to aging, medical history, and individual health factors. When these changes occur, it can be difficult for the body to restore balance on its own. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, hormone replacement therapy in Orlando involves the clinical use of hormones under the supervision of a licensed medical provider and is tailored to each patient based on medical evaluation and laboratory testing.

Treatment decisions are made in consultation with a provider and are based on a patient’s symptoms, goals, and overall health profile.

Growth Hormone Optimization

Growth hormone, produced by the pituitary gland, is essential for regulating many systems throughout the body. When levels are insufficient, it can contribute to a variety of health concerns. Growth hormone optimization may help improve symptoms associated with deficiency.

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we treat growth hormone deficiency. These treatments are administered via injection underneath the skin, directly into the fat tissue.

When clinically appropriate, growth hormone therapy may be prescribed following a comprehensive medical assessment and laboratory testing. Treatment is individualized and typically administered by subcutaneous injection, which delivers the medication into the fatty tissue beneath the skin. Ongoing monitoring is used to assess response and adjust treatment as needed.

Patients considering growth hormone therapy should discuss potential risks, benefits, limitations, and alternatives with their healthcare provider to determine whether treatment is appropriate for their individual medical needs.

Men’s Testosterone Therapy

Hormonal changes in men, especially declining testosterone, can affect energy, mood, and overall vitality over time. Many men experience increased fatigue or decreased motivation as these changes occur.

Testosterone therapy may help support improved balance and well-being. A consultation with a healthcare provider can help determine if this option is appropriate.

The appropriate method, dosage, and duration of therapy are determined by a healthcare provider and may change over time with ongoing monitoring. Patients considering testosterone therapy should consult with their provider to discuss potential benefits, risks, alternatives, and whether treatment is appropriate for their individual situation.

A Customized Approach to HRT

Initial Consultation

Your first appointment focuses on understanding your symptoms, health concerns, and personal goals. Your provider reviews your medical history and evaluates signs of possible hormonal imbalance. You’ll also learn how hormones impact energy, metabolism, and performance. If needed, lab work is completed during this visit to guide your treatment plan.

Comprehensive Lab Testing

Before beginning HRT in Orlando, a detailed set of lab tests is performed based on your individual needs. These may include testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, DHEA, thyroid function, A1c, CBC, CMP, and lipid panels. By analyzing multiple markers, your provider gains a full understanding of your hormonal health.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Once your lab results and symptoms are reviewed, your provider develops a treatment plan tailored specifically to you. Your lifestyle, medical history, and goals are all considered, ensuring a patient-centered approach rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustments

Hormone therapy is continuously refined to match your progress. Follow-up visits typically occur within 8 to 12 weeks, with adjustments made based on your symptoms and lab results. Once your treatment is stable, visits are scheduled every three to six months. Ongoing care includes regular lab testing, symptom tracking, and direct communication with your care team.

Hormone Therapy FAQs

How long does it take to start feeling better on hormone therapy?

Every patient is different. Your provider will work with you to ensure that your treatment plan is personalized, answer questions along the way, and monitor your experience over time.

Is hormone therapy safe?

Hormone therapy is safe when properly monitored and administered under medical supervision. You receive bioidentical hormones that match the molecular structure of the hormones that your body naturally produces, allowing a more physiologic and predictable response. Your provider uses lab testing, symptom tracking, and targeted dosing to restore hormonal balance.

How long will I need to stay on hormone therapy?

There is no fixed timeline. You remain on hormone therapy for as long as you want to maintain its benefits. Many patients choose to continue for years because they enjoy higher energy levels, stable mood, improved cognitive performance, and better physical vitality.

What side effects should I be aware of?

Most side effects are mild and manageable. You may experience temporary acne, subtle water retention, or breast tenderness if you are a woman. Men can occasionally see an increase in red blood cell count, which is easily monitored and corrected as needed. If you receive pellet therapy, you might notice short-term soreness at the insertion site. Any shifts in mood or energy typically reflect dosage adjustments and are refined through follow-up care. Regular monitoring helps ensure potential side effects remain under control.
