Hormone imbalances can negatively impact quality of life. As we age, hormone levels naturally decline, leading to undesirable symptoms. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help restore optimal hormone levels to promote better health and wellbeing.
There are various potential causes of hormonal imbalances, including:
Symptoms of hormone deficiencies vary by which type of hormone is affected but may include hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, weight gain, low libido, anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, and more.
Left untreated, hormonal imbalances can significantly reduce one’s quality of life. Imbalances have been associated with risks for osteoporosis, heart disease, dementia, and certain cancers.
Restoring hormone levels through replacement therapy can help mitigate or even reverse these issues when treatment is started sufficiently early. At Vital Hormones Clinic, we emphasize the importance of routine testing and prompt treatment when imbalances are found to halt progression of related health declines.
With individualized therapy supervised by our highly-qualified hormone specialists, patients report dramatic improvements in troublesome menopausal, andropausal, and other hormone-related symptoms. Treatment enables people to regain energy, mental clarity and ability to rest, manage weight easily, revive sex drive and intimacy, strengthen bones, and elevate mood.
The first step in HRT is testing key hormones like estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, cortisol and thyroid to uncover specific deficiencies or excesses. Treatment is then customized accordingly through careful adjustment and routine testing to ensure optimal balance is achieved.

Optimizing health during hormone therapy goes beyond medications alone. Vital Hormones Clinic advises all HRT patients on evidence-based lifestyle changes and holistic remedies to complement treatment. Key recommendations include:
Following a nutrient-dense diet full of minimally processed whole foods ensures the body has the building blocks needed to properly utilize hormones. Specific diet tips include:
Chronic stress elevates inflammatory cortisol, which can suppress reproductive and thyroid hormones. Making time to purposefully relax activates the parasympathetic nervous system to counteract pressures of everyday life. Useful stress-reduction practices include:
