Hormone levels naturally decline with age, and this can lead to unpleasant symptoms that disrupt quality of life. Recognizing the signs of hormone deficiency is the first step to seeking treatment and feeling your best.
Symptoms of hormone deficiency vary by gender but often include:
Women may also experience vaginal dryness, urinary issues, and emotional changes related to perimenopause or menopause. Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) can help alleviate these symptoms and improve wellbeing.
Getting your hormone levels tested is essential for identifying deficiencies. Vitality Hormone Center provides state-of-the-art testing to accurately evaluate your estrogen, testosterone, thyroid, cortisol and other hormone levels. Once imbalances are found, we can develop a customized treatment plan to help you feel healthy and energized again.
Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the body. BHRT replenishes hormone levels to alleviate deficiency symptoms. Benefits may include:
BHRT is a natural, effective option for correcting hormone deficiencies using customized treatment plans tailored to your needs.
Bioidentical hormones are man-made formulations that are structurally identical to the hormones produced naturally in the body. This allows them to bind perfectly with existing hormone receptors and mimic natural activity in the body.
Common bioidentical hormones used in therapy include:
These can be customized into pellet implants, oral capsules, topical creams or other delivery methods for ease of use and optimal results.
Our practitioners take a personalized approach to develop customized bioidentical hormone therapy based on your lab testing and symptoms. We match treatment plans to your unique hormonal imbalances and needs.
After testing reveals deficiencies, our practitioners will work with you to design the ideal regimen that may include:
Follow-up testing allows for continually optimizing and adjusting your treatment over time. We partner with you on your path to wellness.
With consistent use of properly balanced hormone therapy, patients find relief from uncomfortable symptoms of hormone deficiency and a renewed sense of wellbeing. BHRT can help both men and women regain optimal physical, cognitive and emotional health for better quality of life.
Recognizing the early signs of hormone imbalance and seeking prompt treatment is key to restoring wellness and vitality. Allowing deficiency symptoms to linger can negatively impact physical and mental health.
In contrast, early optimization of hormones can help stall and even reverse aspects of aging for enhanced longevity and function. Our experienced practitioners emphasize the relevance of timely testing and treatment to maintain optimal hormonal balance.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Studies show that after hormone treatment, many transgender people report feeling more comfortable, less depressed, less anxious, and more satisfied with their bodies. This improved well-being allows them to participate more fully in work, school, and relationships.
We are passionate about helping patients achieve hormone wellness for healthy, vibrant living. With two conveniently located Austin clinics, Vitality Hormone Center has proudly served the local community since 2005.
Our expertise in bioidentical hormone therapy, preventive care and age management therapies help patients tackle symptoms of hormonal decline. We offer cutting edge testing and tailored treatment plans managed by top local practitioners.
While balancing your hormones and replenishing deficiencies form the core of feeling your best, we also emphasize key lifestyle factors that enhance treatment and promote whole-person wellness.
Eating a diet rich in organic fruits and vegetables, high quality proteins, healthy fats and fiber helps provide the building blocks for cellular repair and hormone creation. We provide nutritional guidance personalized for your needs and treatment goals.
Engaging in consistent strength training and cardio exercise supports production of hormones and growth factors for adding lean muscle mass. We suggest local gyms like Balanced Fitness and outdoor options such as the Lady Bird Hike and Bike Trail for patients to take advantage of our wonderful Austin recreation scene during treatment.
Chronic stress takes a major toll on hormone production and inflammatory pathways in the body. Our in-house acupuncturist helps patients tap into ancient modalities like acupuncture, breathing practices and massage for lowering stress hormones like cortisol. We also refer patients to local wellness centers such as Urban Roots Community Acupuncture for additional support.
Getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night allows critical hormone production and tissue repair to occur. We provide sleep hygiene education and stress reducing techniques to help patients achieve restorative rest.
When combined with individualized bioidentical hormone therapy, tailored lifestyle enhancement helps create optimal wellbeing during treatment and beyond.
