What is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?
As we age, our bodies gradually produce lower levels of essential hormones. This decline begins subtly in our 30s and often accelerates in our 40s and 50s, though it can occur earlier due to stress, illness, or surgical removal of hormone-producing glands. Hormones act as chemical messengers, regulating nearly every body system—from metabolism and immune function to mood, cognition, and reproductive health. When levels drop below optimal, it can cause a range of symptoms that interfere with daily life and long-term wellbeing.
Hormone Replacement Therapy is designed to restore these hormones to more youthful, balanced levels. In the context of anti-aging medicine, HRT is not just about easing symptoms like hot flashes or low libido; it’s about maintaining long-term health in areas like bone density, cardiovascular protection, cognitive performance, and muscle mass preservation.
In women, menopause brings a sharp drop in estrogen and progesterone, while in men, testosterone levels can gradually decline in a process known as andropause. Thyroid imbalances can occur at any age and affect both men and women. Other hormones, like DHEA and pregnenolone, also decrease over time, influencing energy, mood, and resilience. HRT aims to correct these deficiencies and restore hormonal symphony.
Types of Hormone Replacement Therapy
We offer multiple forms of HRT, always tailored to individual needs and based on comprehensive lab testing. Our focus is on bioidentical hormones, which are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces. This molecular similarity means your body recognizes and utilizes them efficiently, often with fewer side effects compared to synthetic hormones.
The main hormones we work with include:
- Estriol and Estradiol (Estrogen therapy) – Crucial for bone strength, cardiovascular health, skin elasticity, and cognitive clarity. Balancing estrogen can also help with hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness.
- Testosterone – Vital for muscle mass, metabolism, mood stability, libido, and mental sharpness. Low testosterone in men can cause fatigue, weight gain, and loss of drive. In women, it supports energy, libido, and lean body composition.
- Progesterone – Helps balance the effects of excess estrogen, supports restful sleep, reduces anxiety, and is protective for the uterus.
- Pregnenolone – Known as the “mother hormone” because it is a precursor to other steroid hormones. It supports memory, mood, and stress response.
- DHEA – An adrenal hormone that supports energy, immune function, skin health, and hormonal balance.
- Thyroid Hormones – Regulate metabolism, body temperature, and energy levels. Optimizing thyroid function can improve fatigue, weight control, hair quality, and mental clarity.
Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy
HRT provides both short-term symptom relief and long-term health protection.
- Long-term benefits include:
- Bone protection – Reducing osteoporosis and fracture risk.
- Brain protection – Supporting memory, focus, and lowering dementia risk.
- Heart protection – Maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and blood vessel function.
- Short-term benefits include:
- Increased energy and vitality, making daily activities easier
- Improved libido and sexual satisfaction
- Enhanced mood and reduced anxiety or irritability
- Better sleep quality and reduced night sweats
- Relief from hot flashes and menopausal symptoms
- Support for healthy weight management and muscle tone.
How Hormone Replacement Therapy Works
The process begins with a detailed consultation covering your symptoms, lifestyle, medical history, and health goals. We then conduct comprehensive hormone testing—often a combination of blood, saliva, or urine tests—to measure baseline levels. Based on your unique profile, we create a personalized plan using the best delivery method for your needs:
- Topical creams and gels – Applied daily for steady absorption
- Transdermal patches – Provide consistent hormone delivery through the skin
- Injections – Given weekly, biweekly, or monthly for stable levels
- Subcutaneous pellets – Implanted under the skin for slow, steady release over several months
Treatment is never “set and forget.” We monitor your hormone levels regularly, usually every 3–6 months, and adjust dosing as needed to ensure safety and optimal results. This ongoing care also includes tracking how you feel, as symptom improvement is as important as lab results.

- Menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, or vaginal dryness
