This personalized treatment helps restore vitality, improve mood, increase energy levels, and enhance overall well-being.
Restore your body’s hormonal balance
Hormones are chemical messengers produced by the endocrine glands, including the thyroid, adrenal glands, and ovaries/testes. They regulate essential body functions like metabolism, growth, mood, and reproductive processes. Hormones travel through the bloodstream to target organs, where they trigger specific responses. Proper hormonal balance is crucial for overall health, as imbalances can lead to various unwanted symptoms.
How hormone imbalances affect men & women
Hormone imbalances can significantly impact both men and women, leading to a range of physical and emotional symptoms. In women, imbalances may cause irregular periods, hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain, and reduced libido, often associated with menopause or thyroid issues. Men may experience fatigue, muscle loss, low libido, erectile dysfunction, and mood changes, often related to andropause or low testosterone.

- Fatigue and low energy levels

What is hormone therapy?
Hormone therapy is a medical treatment that restores and balances hormone levels in the body. It involves using synthetic or bioidentical hormones to supplement or replace those that are deficient or imbalanced. This therapy is commonly used to alleviate symptoms of menopause, andropause, thyroid disorders, and other hormonal conditions. By restoring proper hormone levels, hormone therapy helps improve energy, mood, metabolism, and overall well-being.
Hormone therapy for men
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we offer Biote bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and testosterone cypionate injections for men. Biote therapy uses plant-derived hormones that closely match the body’s natural hormones to restore balance and alleviate symptoms of low testosterone and other hormonal imbalances. Testosterone cypionate injections provide a direct boost of testosterone, addressing issues like low energy, muscle loss, and reduced libido. Both therapies aim to help men regain vitality and improve overall well-being.
Hormone therapy for women
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we offer Biote and pellet therapy for women. Biote therapy uses bioidentical hormones derived from plants that closely mimic the body’s natural hormones to alleviate symptoms of menopause, thyroid disorders, and more. Pellet therapy involves the insertion of tiny hormone pellets under the skin, providing a steady, consistent release of hormones over time. This approach ensures balanced hormone levels and long-lasting relief from symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and fatigue.
