Hormone Therapy
In Phoenix, AZ

Hormone therapy is a medical intervention aimed at restoring hormonal balance in individuals with hormone deficiencies. Therapy approaches may focus on hormone optimization, hormone replacement, or hormone balancing, but no matter the method, the process will identify why there is an imbalance in your hormones. At that point, we will then recommend a natural approach to supplement your hormone production or we may need to optimize your hormone production by prescribing hormones that are not in an optimal range.

What Does Hormone Therapy Involve?

As its name suggests, hormone therapy revolves around the administration of various hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones, or adrenal hormones. These hormones are tailored to address specific concerns, symptoms, and conditions experienced by the patient.

The choice of hormones utilized in therapy varies based on factors like the underlying cause of concern and the individual’s unique medical profile. For instance, hormone therapy may be prescribed to alleviate symptoms of menopause, address hormonal imbalances, or support hormone levels affected by conditions like hypothyroidism or adrenal insufficiency.

The method of administering hormone therapy can vary widely and is personalized to meet the needs and preferences of each patient. Patients may receive hormones through different delivery methods, including pills, patches, creams, injections, or pellet implants.

Each method offers distinct advantages and considerations in terms of convenience, absorption rate, and dosage precision. For example, pills and patches provide convenient and consistent delivery of hormones, while creams offer flexibility in application and dosage adjustment.

On the other hand, injections and pellet implants provide longer-lasting effects and may be preferred by some individuals seeking sustained hormone levels. By tailoring the choice of hormones and administration method to each patient’s unique circumstances, TriMotus can optimize the effectiveness and comfort of hormone therapy interventions.

Candidates for Hormone Therapy

Candidates for hormone therapy are individuals grappling with symptoms of hormonal deficiencies, which can stem from various factors such as aging, menopause, hypogonadism, or other medical conditions. To determine eligibility for hormone therapy, it’s essential to consult with TriMotus and undergo a comprehensive evaluation that considers your medical history, symptoms, and treatment goals:

1. Hormone therapy has been associated with increased energy levels, improved mood, and enhanced overall well-being. By restoring hormonal balance, individuals undergoing hormone therapy often report feeling more energetic and experiencing a brighter outlook on life.

2. For women experiencing symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and insomnia, hormone therapy can provide significant relief. By replenishing declining hormone levels, hormone therapy helps alleviate these symptoms and improves the quality of life during the menopausal transition.

3. Hormone therapy is an effective approach for managing various hormone-related conditions, including hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, polycystic ovary syndrome, and andropause. By restoring hormonal balance, this therapy helps alleviate symptoms associated with these conditions and improves overall health and well-being.

4. Maintaining bone density and reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures are crucial aspects of overall health, particularly as individuals age. Hormone therapy can contribute to bone health by preserving bone density and strength, thereby reducing the risk of fractures and promoting skeletal integrity.

5. Hormone therapy may have beneficial effects on cardiovascular health by reducing cardiovascular risk factors such as improved lipid profiles and vascular function. By modulating hormone levels, this therapy may help maintain cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of heart disease.

6. Hormone therapy holds promise for improving cognitive function, memory, and mental clarity, particularly in individuals experiencing cognitive decline associated with hormonal imbalances. By restoring hormonal balance, hormone therapy may support brain health and cognitive function.

7. Issues such as reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, and vaginal dryness can significantly impact sexual health and overall quality of life. Hormone therapy can address these issues by restoring hormonal balance, thereby improving sexual desire, function, and satisfaction.

Overall, hormone therapy offers multifaceted benefits that extend beyond symptom management, supporting individuals in achieving optimal health and vitality.

Why Would Someone Need Hormone Therapy?

Hormone therapy may be necessary for individuals experiencing hormonal imbalances or deficiencies due to various factors such as aging, medical conditions, or surgical procedures. There are several reasons why someone might need hormone therapy:

1. Hormonal imbalances can occur naturally with age, particularly during menopause for women and andropause for men. During these life stages, the body’s production of key hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone declines, leading to a range of symptoms including hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue, and reduced libido.

2. Individuals with specific medical conditions like hypothyroidism have insufficient hormone production, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, and depression. Hormone therapy can effectively restore thyroid hormone levels and alleviate these symptoms.

3. Surgical procedures such as hysterectomy or oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries) can induce hormonal changes that may necessitate hormone therapy to mitigate the resulting symptoms and health risks. Hormone therapy can help alleviate s menopausal symptoms and reduce the risk of medical concerns associated with hormonal decline.

4. Hormone therapy can play a crucial role in managing hormone-related conditions such as adrenal insufficiency, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and gender dysphoria. In these cases, hormone therapy aims to restore hormonal balance, alleviate symptoms, and improve overall health and quality of life.

Hormone therapy addresses hormonal imbalances and deficiencies through specific hormones tailored to the individual’s needs and medical condition. By restoring hormonal balance, hormone therapy helps alleviate symptoms, improve health outcomes, and enhance overall well-being.

When to Use Hormone Optimization?

Hormone optimization should be considered not only in cases of overt hormone deficiencies but also when hormone levels fall within the low optimal ranges, especially when these levels correlate with symptoms that affect quality of life and overall health. Functional medicine practitioners often emphasize hormone optimization as a strategy to address subclinical symptoms and improve patient outcomes by restoring hormone levels to their optimal range, rather than just within the normal laboratory range. Expanded Indications for Hormone Optimization: Low Libido: Hormone optimization can help address low libido by correcting deficiencies in testosterone, estrogen, or other sex hormones that play crucial roles in sexual function and desire. Fatigue: Chronic fatigue can be linked to suboptimal levels of hormones such as thyroid hormones, cortisol, and sex hormones. By optimizing these hormone levels, patients often experience improved energy levels and a reduction in chronic fatigue symptoms. Weight Gain: Hormones like insulin, thyroid hormones, cortisol, and sex hormones are intricately linked to metabolism and fat storage. Optimizing these hormones can help manage weight more effectively, addressing issues like weight gain and difficulty losing weight that are often resistant to diet and exercise alone. Skin Issues: Hormonal imbalances can contribute to various skin conditions such as acne, dryness, and premature aging. Optimizing hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can improve skin health and appearance by promoting better hydration, collagen production, and overall skin integrity. Peri-Menopause and Menopause: Used to relieve menopausal symptoms and improve quality of life. Functional medicine emphasizes personalized care, utilizing tailored hormone regimens that reflect the individuals hormonal landscape. Hormone Deficiencies: Effective for conditions causing hormone deficiencies, such as hypogonadism or adrenal insufficiency, by restoring physiological levels of hormones and supporting overall endocrine function.

Is Hormone Therapy Safe?

Short-Term and Long-Term Use: Very safe when closely monitored by healthcare professionals. Functional medicine practitioners prioritize monitoring hormone levels and adjusting dosages to minimize risks and ensure therapy is within safe and effective ranges. Individual Factors: Safety depends on the individual’s health history, genetics, and specific type of hormone therapy used. Functional medicine practitioners focus on a comprehensive assessment of these factors to tailor therapy accordingly.

Does Hormone Therapy Cause Weight Gain?

Varied Effects: Weight gain can occur, particularly due to changes in metabolism and fat distribution, but it is not a universal side effect. Functional medicine addresses these changes by incorporating dietary and lifestyle strategies to manage weight and optimize metabolic health. Men may experience an increase in weight as they gain muscle mass. Lifestyle Factors: Diet, exercise, and overall lifestyle play significant roles in how hormone therapy affects body weight. Functional medicine practitioners provide guidance on nutrition, physical activity, and stress management to support healthy weight maintenance during therapy.

How Does Hormone Therapy Make You Feel?

Symptom Relief: Can improve mood, energy levels, cognitive function, and overall quality of life by addressing the underlying hormonal imbalances that contribute to these symptoms. Side Effects: Potential side effects include mood swings, nausea, headaches, and breast tenderness. A functional medicine approach seeks to minimize these by carefully selecting the type and dosage of hormones and using complementary therapies to support the body’s adaptation. Adjustment Period: The body may need time to adjust to hormone therapy, and effects can vary widely among individuals. Functional medicine emphasizes ongoing monitoring and adjustment of therapy to ensure that patients achieve the best possible outcomes with minimal side effects.

What Does Hormone Therapy Do?

Hormone Balance: Hormone therapy aims to restore optimal hormone levels to alleviate symptoms of hormone imbalances and support overall physiological function. By addressing the root causes of hormone dysregulation, therapy can improve not only symptoms but also underlying health conditions. Menopause Symptoms: Hormone therapy reduces menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness, which are often due to declining estrogen and progesterone levels. Functional medicine approaches this by considering bioidentical hormones, which are structurally similar to the body’s natural hormones, to provide a more natural and individualized treatment. Bone Health: Hormone therapy helps maintain bone density and prevent fractures in postmenopausal women by supporting calcium absorption and bone remodeling processes, addressing the loss of bone-protective hormones like estrogen.

Patient Reviews

Robert Hedeen is the most caring and knowledgeable chiropractor. Paperwork and scheduling was very easy. He provided education and exercises to do at home, so I continued to get better between visits as well.

ONE OF THE BEST IN THE VALLEY! I’ve been coming here for almost a month, and am already moving and feeling better than I have in years. After several other doctors and naturopaths failed to help me, I was referred here and couldn’t be happier with the level of knowledge and professionalism I’ve received.

Excellent care from start to end – consistent communication, thoughtful approaches and reliable teamwork are on point 100% of the time. Very thankful for my team at TriMotus!
