What is hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy is a treatment that increases hormones in the body using synthetic hormones to correct imbalances. Elevate Health treats low testosterone, low estrogen or progesterone, and thyroid hormone imbalances using prescription hormone therapy. The hormones used during treatment are identical to the hormones your body already produces.

Which benefits does hormone replacement therapy offer?

Hormone replacement therapy at Elevate Health may provide the following health and well-being benefits:

The treatment is affordable, simple, highly effective, and can dramatically improve the quality of life in people struggling with hormone imbalance symptoms.

Am I a candidate for hormone replacement therapy?

To determine if you’re a candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, your specialist discusses your medical history, lifestyle, symptoms, and goals. They also have you undergo lab testing and evaluate the results to determine which hormones and doses best suit you.

What should I expect during hormone therapy treatment?

Hormone replacement therapy is available in many forms, including:

Gels
Creams
Pills
Injections
Vaginal suppositories

After you receive a prescription from Elevate Health, simply follow your hormone therapy instructions and use the recommended dose. During the next few weeks and months, as your hormone levels begin to normalize, you can expect to feel better, look younger, and gain confidence.

It’s also highly important to exercise regularly, achieve or maintain an ideal body weight, eat nutritious foods, minimize stress, avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and get 7-8 hours of sleep.

How often do I need hormone replacement therapy?

Depending on the type of hormone therapy you undergo, you might need follow-up appointments with your hormone specialist every few months, every six months, or yearly. They let you know when to schedule your next visit. Don’t hesitate to contact the office if you develop new symptoms or have questions about your treatment.
