Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA and others are crucial chemical messengers that regulate many essential body functions. When hormonal balances occur, whether due to aging, stress, medical conditions or other reasons, both men and women can experience unpleasant symptoms like fatigue, low libido, hot flashes, erectile dysfunction, loss of muscle mass, weight gain, anxiety, brain fog and more.
Getting a comprehensive panel of hormone blood tests is key for both sexes to determine optimal hormonal levels and decide whether hormone therapy may help relieve deficiency signs. Customized bioidentical hormone therapy aims to restore lacking hormones to optimal ranges so patients feel revived with more energy, better sleep, enhanced sex drive, improved body composition, balanced moods and an overall higher quality of life.
Left untreated, hormone imbalances can worsen over time and elevate risks for various diseases. For example, testosterone deficiency in men is linked to higher likelihoods of obesity, diabetes, metabolic issues, osteoporosis, anxiety, depression and heart problems. Estrogen deficiency in women is associated with heart disease, bone loss, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke and other age-related conditions.
Restoring hormone levels earlier through medications like gels, pellets, patches, tablets and injections can often help patients regain wellness, vitality and a healthy aging process. Customized hormone replacement therapy (HRT) tailored to each patient’s needs helps optimize treatment success while reducing risks. That is why getting tested and treated without delay is so important.
Vitality Hormone Clinic specializes in precision hormone replacement therapy to restore lacking hormones in both women and men. Treatment is customized after blood analysis of a patient’s unique hormonal profile. Ongoing monitoring ensures optimal hormonal balance is achieved and maintained long-term for continued benefits.

Male hormone therapy offered by Vitality Hormone Clinic focuses on restoring testosterone levels using bioidentical hormones exactly matching natural testosterone molecules produced in the body. Major benefits reported by male patients on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) include:
Male testosterone levels start declining after age 30, with steeper drops as men get older. Low testosterone or “Low T” affects over 13 million American men causing debilitating symptoms that undermine masculine traits and wellbeing. Proper testing is essential to uncover the extent of deficiency and risks so optimal restoration of testosterone and other hormones can occur through customized treatment.
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone that gives men their masculine traits and plays crucial roles regulating metabolism, bone/muscle mass, sperm production, sex drive, energy, cognitive function and more.
Estrogen is important for bone health, cholesterol balance, brain and cardiovascular function in men. The right estrogen ratio with testosterone is key.
Symptoms of Low T or estrogen imbalance include:
Left untreated, male hormone deficiency can seriously impact quality of life while elevating risks for various diseases. Restoring optimal hormonal balance is key for regaining health and preventing long term issues.
Comprehensive hormone panel blood testing provides crucial data for determining precise deficiencies, imbalances and risks for patients. Key hormones checked include:
- Estradiol - Estrone - Estriol - Progesterone - DHEA - Testosterone - T3 & T4 (thyroid) - FSH (ovaries)
- Total and Free Testosterone - Estradiol - DHEA - PSA (prostate) - Complete metabolic panel - Complete blood count - Vitamin D - TSH, T3 & T4 (thyroid)
Testing is done through advanced analyzed blood draws, NOT saliva or serum tests which can be very inaccurate. Follow up testing occurs throughout treatment to ensure optimal hormonal balance is achieved and maintained. Vitality Hormone Clinic utilizes top CLIA-certified national labs for the most reliable, state-of-the-art test analysis.
Precision testing is crucial for uncovering the specific hormone deficiencies, imbalances and risks unique to each patient so the most customized, effective treatment plan can be developed targeting restoration back to optimal levels.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. While the emotional benefits are well-known, research also shows hormone therapy improves cardiovascular health. Transgender women taking estrogen have lower blood pressure and more efficient blood vessel function compared to men of the same age.
Vitality Hormone Clinic takes an integrative approach looking at each patient comprehensively including health history, genetic risks, symptoms, lifestyle and underlying issues to uncover root hormonal imbalances. Customized hormone replacement specific to deficiencies and risks is developed using bioidentical hormones for improved safety, efficacy and biocompatibility.
BioTE Medical Pellet Therapy is often utilized for convenient, steady-state dosing lasting 3-6 months for patient compliance and convenience. Patented pellet implants slowly release optimized hormones providing consistent levels without spikes or drops from gels/creams, patches, pills or shots. Pellet therapy also avoids potential skin irritations or transfer risks from topical treatments. Vitality Hormone Clinic also prescribes bioidentical testosterone injections, estradiol patches, DHEA pills, progesterone creams and other delivery methods for maximum flexibility optimizing each patient’s program.
Ongoing monitoring, testing adjustments and nutritional guidance ensures patients achieve optimal function, balanced wellbeing and a better aging process. We also coordinate specialized care with patients’ primary doctors.
Proper lifestyle also influences hormone health and the success of therapy. Vitality Hormone Clinic patients receive guidance on nutrition, exercise, stress management and other areas to enhance treatment results. Comprehensive care focusing both on hormone restoration AND optimal lifestyle provides fully integrated healing for better function, disease prevention and graceful aging.
We suggest Vitality Hormone Clinic patients consider making certain beneficial lifestyle adjustments that can enhance hormone therapy results like:
Nutrition: Eat hormone-supporting foods high in healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, nuts/seeds, wild caught salmon; sufficient protein for building muscles; probiotic foods for gut health and more. Reduce sugar, processed carbs and alcohol which can disrupt hormones.
Exercise: Incorporate strength training to build / maintain muscle mass which supports metabolic rate and healthy hormone levels. Include regular cardio for heart health. Yoga and stretching boost flexibility. Walking relieves stress.
Stress Management: Limit stress which elevates cortisol and inflammatory cytokines that can imbalance hormones. Practice meditation, get massages, go hiking in nature, engage in enjoyable hobbies. Prioritize good sleep for hormone health.
Healthy Habits: Quit smoking which damages hormones and overall health. Reduce alcohol which can lower testosterone. Hydrate properly and avoid BPA bottles. Certain supplements like magnesium, zinc and vitamin D also support hormones.
