Hormone therapy (HT), also known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT), involves the use of hormones to treat common hormone deficiencies that can develop as we age or due to medical conditions. Hormone therapy can provide immense health benefits and help people feel their best by restoring optimal hormone levels.
At Renew Hormone Clinic in Lakewood, we specialize in high-quality, customized hormone replacement therapy to help both men and women suffering from hormone imbalance reclaim their health, vitality and quality of life.
Hormone therapy encompasses a variety of treatment protocols that use bioidentical hormones to elevate hormones that have become depleted. As we age or develop certain illnesses, hormonal decline and imbalance are inevitable. Some common signs of hormone deficiency include:
Restoring optimal hormonal levels can produce life-changing results, enabling patients to look and feel healthier while preventing damage to the body and mind from hormonal decline.
The goal of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is to supplement declining hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and more to achieve hormonal balance. Benefits include:
Hormone replacement therapy can quite literally reverse aging in many ways, allowing patients to live fuller, healthier, more active lives.
Hormone therapy works by delivering bioidentical hormones directly into the body to restore optimal levels. Hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone regulate hundreds of rejuvenating bodily process but inevitably decline with age and also due to illness or medical treatments.
HRT specialists thoroughly evaluate each patient to determine their specific hormonal deficiencies and needs. A customized treatment protocol utilizing FDA-approved bioidentical hormones is then prescribed to bring their hormones back into balance for improved health and wellbeing.
Treatment is delivered through:

Women experience a rapid reduction in key hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone during perimenopause and menopause. Declining hormones trigger a wide range of uncomfortable symptoms while also heightening the risk of chronic disease.
Hormone therapy provides an effective solution to counteract hormonal imbalance and dramatically improve menopausal health.
As women age, declining ovarian function reduces production of fertility hormones, leading to menopause around ages 45-55 on average. Common symptoms include:
These symptoms can severely impact quality of life but hormone therapy provides a proven way to minimize troublesome menopause concerns and restore wellness.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) supplements the body with bioidentical estrogens, progesterone and testosterone to lift levels back to optimal ranges. Restoring hormonal balance alleviates symptoms while also delivering protective effects against age-related diseases.
The benefits of HRT for women include:
Many doctors hesitate to prescribe HRT due to dated fears regarding breast cancer risk. However, evidence clearly shows combination estrogen plus progesterone therapy does NOT heighten breast cancer risk in menopausal women, even after over a decade of use.
Estrogen alone can slightly increase risk but progesterone negates this effect, making combination therapy protective for women's health in many ways.
Initiating hormone replacement therapy early in menopause or perimenopause provides enhanced benefits compared to later intervention for symptom relief and disease prevention. Starting within 1-5 years of menopause is ideal.
The sooner your hormone levels can be restored, the lower your risks of osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes, cancer and substantially slowed cognitive decline. It's critical not to procrastinate if menopausal symptoms develop!
There are three main delivery methods of bioidentical hormone replacement to choose from:
Hormones like estradiol, estriol, progesterone and DHEA are administered in specific ratios to match the body's natural hormone profiles. Testosterone may also be included.
At Renew Hormone Clinic Lakewood, treatment always begins conservatively, with dosage adjustments made based on clinical response and follow-up lab testing to optimize therapy benefits while minimizing risk.
We also provide recommendations for dietary adjustments, high quality supplements, stress reduction practices and fitness programs to enhance hormone balance through improved gut health, toxin elimination, better sleep and increased physical activity.

Just as women endure menopause, men undergo a parallel decline in hormones that drastically affects the physical body and mental health. The most notable male hormone deficiency involves declining testosterone levels, known as Low T.
Men over 30 lose roughly 1% of their total testosterone per year. Clinical Low T symptoms develop when circulating testosterone dips too low.
Restoring healthy testosterone levels through testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) alleviates Low T decline, helping men regain peak strength, vigor and wellbeing.
While testosterone deficiency develops gradually, symptoms often appear suddenly - seemingly overnight - between ages 30 to 50. Common warning signs include:
If multiple symptoms emerge, lab testing can confirm if low testosterone is responsible. Ignoring symptoms enables progressive decline while treatment can fully restore men's health.
Over 20 reputable studies demonstrate immense benefits from testosterone replacement for Low T men regarding:
BODY - Increased muscle mass and reduced body fat - Greater strength and endurance - Improved body composition and cardiometabolic profile
MIND - Restored motivation, assertiveness and drive - Elevated mood, reduced anxiety and depression - Sharper memory, mental clarity and focus
SEXUAL HEALTH - Heightened libido and sensation - Increased erection frequency and firmness - Greater orgasm pleasure and intensity
Normalizing testosterone through proper treatment also supports healthier aging for men by:
Yet due to lack of provider knowledge, only 5% of Low T men currently receive treatment..
No medical therapy comes without potential risk. However, experts overwhelmingly agree - when properly administered and monitored, testosterone therapy benefits far outweigh risks for men over age 30 with low levels.
Risks like blood thickening, prostate issues or heart strain are modest if precautions are followed under a specialist's care.
There are several delivery methods for testosterone replacement:
We begin with conservative doses, checking bloodwork at 6 weeks to ensure levels are optimized to relieve deficiency symptoms without exceeding normal ranges.
Follow-up blood tests, progress exams and dose adjustments continue every 3 months thereafter to ensure successful treatment. Patients enjoy steady improvements for the first year with proper monitoring.
We also provide lifestyle guidance surrounding fitness, nutrition and stress reduction to help amplify the benefits of therapy.
If you are experiencing any symptoms of Low T, we encourage you to promptly schedule lab testing and a comprehensive evaluation of your health, hormones and future risk.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Studies show that after a year of hormone treatment, transgender women score higher on tests of verbal fluency, while transgender men tend to show improved spatial awareness more in line with males.
Maintaining a proper hormonal balance is essential for sustaining health and functioning as we progress through life. Like a complex puzzle - when one or several key hormones fall out of optimal range, the whole picture of good health becomes distorted and begins to degrade at an accelerated pace.
By accurately diagnosing and properly treating hormone disorders in a timely manner, patients can enjoy lasting relief from debilitating symptoms while also protecting future health - adding life to years and years to life thanks to proactive intervention.
Hormone-related symptoms often develop gradually until a tipping point suddenly triggers noticeable decline in the form of anxiety, exhaustion, low sex drive, emotional instability and a plethora of concerning mental and physical changes.
People frequently ignore subtler symptoms or blame them on normal aging/life stress because hormone balance is complex with many overlapping influences. But brushing off symptoms allows progressive imbalance to take hold, enabling accelerated dysfunction and disease processes.
Diagnosing and addressing hormonal disorders early is critical for the best patient outcomes regarding both relieving current symptoms and reducing future health risks!
