Estrogen	25-75 pg/mL	<25 pg/mL
Progesterone	1-28 ng/mL	<1 ng/mL
DHEA	130-680 mcg/dL	<130 mcg/dL
Thyroid (T3)	2.3-4.2 pg/mL	<2.3 pg/mL
Cortisol	6-17 mcg/dL	<6 mcg/dL

Choosing the Right Physician

Selecting the proper hormonal wellness physician is vital to successful treatment. We recommend board-certified doctors specializing in anti-aging and regenerative medicine. Optimally, your physician should interpret your labs themselves instead of outsourcing. They ought to take time discussing your case and teaching you about hormone optimization. Beware of "one-size-fits all" approaches - your therapy should be customized. Our clinic boasts physicians meeting all these qualifications - and more!

Cutting-Edge Medications

Novel bioidentical hormones precisely match human hormones to optimize tolerability and safety. For example: * Testosterone cypionate - next generation injectable testosterone * Estradiol valerate - bioidentical estrogen

Telehealth

Virtual visits allow patients to meet online with our knowledgeable physicians, making care more convenient and accessible. Our telehealth platform is secure and simple to use.

"After struggling with low energy and lab results showing extremely low testosterone, my doctor started me on testosterone injections. My energy and strength rapidly improved, along with my mood. I'm blown away by how this therapy has given me my life back." - John S., age 62

Lifestyle Recommendations

While hormone treatment plays a big role in regaining wellness, lifestyle factors significantly impact outcomes. We provide personalized recommendations on nutrition, exercise and stress reduction for amplifying the benefits of your therapy.

Key areas to address: * Nutrition - eating whole, unprocessed foods high in nutrients relative to calories. Getting sufficient healthy fats, quality carbohydrates and protein. * Exercise - ideally 30 minutes daily of heart-pumping activity like running along with strength training 2-3 times a week. * Sleep - prioritizing 7-9 hours nightly. Establishing an relaxing bedtime routine and limiting electronics before bed. * Stress - controlling stress through sufficient rest periods, meditation, yoga, counseling, or prescription anti-anxiety medications if warranted.

Fine-tuning these pillars of health helps hormone optimization take fuller effect. Our physicians and nutritionists offer sage, practical advice tailored to your needs. We partner closely with patients for clinical excellence.

Hormonal Connections to Men's Health

Hormone balance powerfully influences men's health - directly impacting areas like sexual performance, mental health, aging and longevity.

Impacts on Libido and Sexual Function

Testosterone especially drives male sexual desire and functioning. Declining testosterone later in life frequently: * Lowers libido * Causes erectile dysfunction * Reduces intensity of orgasms

Research shows testosterone therapy effectively improves these areas of sexual health when low T underlies problems. Beyond enhancing enjoyment, intimacy holds importance for quality relationships and emotional health.

Influences on Mental Health

Studies demonstrate multiple hormones including testosterone, estrogen, thyroid and cortisol significantly control mood and mental function.

Imbalances may manifest as: * Depression * Anxiety * Irritability * Poor concentration

Restoring levels to optimal ranges through our specialized care alleviates these concerns for many patients.

Connections with Healthy Longevity

Emerging research reveals hormone optimization plays a role in sustaining health and extending prime years. Key hormones like growth hormone and DHEA decline with age, contributing to: * Loss of muscle * Bone weakening * Fat gain * Lower immunity * Decreased longevity

Maintaining youthful hormone balance through properly supervised therapy may help slow aspects of aging. Our clinic offers therapies utilizing bioidentical hormones, vitamins, and other innovative modalities to help patients achieve enduring vigor.

• Actor Michael Douglas reports testosterone helped him regain energy and sexual function after cancer treatment.
