Our personalized approach aims to restore balance and enhance overall well-being, empowering you to live your best life.
What are hormones, and how do they work?
Hormones are chemical messengers produced by glands in the endocrine system, playing a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions. They travel through the bloodstream to target organs and tissues, influencing processes such as metabolism, growth, mood, and reproductive health. Each hormone has specific functions, and their balance is vital for overall well-being. When hormonal levels become imbalanced due to factors like aging, stress, or medical conditions, it can lead to various symptoms and health issues.
Symptoms of hormone imbalance:
- Fatigue or persistent tiredness
- Unexplained weight gain or loss
- Mood swings or increased irritability
- Reduced libido or sexual dysfunction
- Difficulty sleeping or insomnia
- Hot flashes or night sweats
- Increased anxiety or depression
- Changes in appetite or cravings
- Thinning hair or brittle nails
- Irregular periods or menstrual changes
We administer BHRT using hormone pellets
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we utilize hormone pellets as an effective method of administering bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). These small, rice-sized pellets are placed under the skin, where they release a steady, controlled dose of hormones directly into the bloodstream. This method offers several advantages, including consistent hormone levels without the peaks and valleys associated with other delivery methods. Additionally, hormone pellets require less frequent dosing—typically every three to six months.
What is bio-identical hormone replacement therapy?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a personalized treatment that helps restore hormonal balance by using hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the body. BHRT aims to alleviate the symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances due to aging, stress, or medical conditions. This therapy is tailored to individual needs, providing a safe and effective way to enhance well-being.
Testosterone therapy for men
Testosterone therapy is a key component of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for men experiencing low testosterone levels, often referred to as hypogonadism. By using bioidentical testosterone, this therapy helps restore hormonal balance, improving energy levels, sexual function, and overall vitality. Treatment options may include hormone pellets, injections, or topical applications, allowing for a customized approach that meets individual needs.
Women's hormone therapy
Women’s hormone therapy focuses on balancing hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, which often decline during menopause. It addresses common symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Using bioidentical hormones, women can experience a more natural approach to restoring balance. Treatment plans are tailored to each woman’s unique hormonal profile, ensuring effective symptom relief.
Benefits of hormone pellet therapy:
- Provides consistent hormone levels throughout the day
- Reduces fluctuations associated with other delivery methods
- Requires fewer administration sessions, typically every three to six months
- Minimizes the need for daily pills or frequent injections
- Enhances convenience and ease of use for patients
- Improves adherence to treatment due to reduced frequency
- Supports long-term hormonal balance and health management
The onset and longevity of results
When you begin hormone pellet therapy, you may start to notice improvements in your symptoms within a few days to a few weeks. The steady release of hormones provides consistent support, leading to enhanced energy, mood stabilization, and overall well-being. Typically, the effects of hormone pellets can last from three to six months. Regular follow-ups ensure your treatment is adjusted as needed, helping you maintain optimal results over time.
