Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA orchestrate many vital processes in the body. When hormones decline or become imbalanced, wide-ranging symptoms can occur. Common signs of hormone disruption include:
Both men and women can experience hormone-related symptoms as they age. Factors like menopause, andropause, stress, poor diet, inactivity and environmental toxins deplete hormones over time.
Hormone therapy helps correct hormone deficiencies and imbalances through personalized treatment plans. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, hormone optimization begins with testing to uncover an individual's unique hormonal needs.

Now that you understand the advantages of Hormone Harmony, let's explore key details about hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Also called hormone optimization therapy, HRT corrects low hormone levels to alleviate symptoms. Treatment typically includes:
Comprehensive lab testing analyzes blood, saliva or urine to identify hormone imbalances. Key hormones evaluated include:
Testing provides hormone levels to guide precise treatment plans. Follow-up blood draws assess progress.
Bioidentical hormones (BHRT) customized to lab results help restore optimal levels. CYZHormones utilizes high quality, natural hormones identical to those produced in the body. We offer convenient delivery methods:
Pellet implants placed under the skin which release steady hormone doses over months are also an option. Patients appreciate the convenience of pellets. We adjust formulations based on follow-up testing and symptom resolution.
A healthy diet optimizes hormone function. We offer nutrition plans to balance blood sugar, reduce inflammation and provide key micronutrients that support hormone activity.
Sleep, exercise, stress management and toxin avoidance also influence hormone levels. Patients receive personalized lifestyle plans to drive results.
Hormone levels change across time. We tailor therapy based on regular reassessment for sustained benefits. Patients enjoy continual support.
Now let's explore common hormone therapy options at Hormone Harmony.
Declining estrogen and progesterone due to perimenopause and menopause lead to unpleasant symptoms that disrupt wellbeing. Hormone Harmony helps women restore hormonal balance and vitality with personalized plans like:
With menopause, ovarian estrogen production stops leading to hot flashes, vaginal dryness, insomnia, weight gain and accelerated aging. Estrogen replacement therapy effectively:
Hormone Harmony crafts individualized estrogen therapy based on lab testing. Bioidentical estradiol can be taken orally, transdermally, as a pellet implant or via injection. We recommend the lowest effective dose to optimize results.
Progesterone works synergistically with estrogen during the menstrual cycle. After menopause, progesterone production stops leading to estrogen dominance. Restoring optimal progesterone levels alleviates:
Bioidentical progesterone therapy effectively resolves these concerns. Hormone Harmony offers capsules, sublingual drops, transdermal creams or progesterone pellet implants. We can also customize combination therapy with estrogen and testosterone for optimal effects.
Although a male hormone, testosterone plays an important role in women's health. Testosterone gives women energy, stamina, lean muscle mass, mental clarity and healthy libido. After menopause, testosterone levels drop up to 50% causing:
Testosterone replacement therapy in women relieves these concerns. Carefully-dosed bioidentical testosterone enhances vitality, body composition, cognition and libido. Hormone Harmony offers testosterone as capsules, sublingual drops, pellets, gels or injections. We provide just enough testosterone to resolve symptoms without causing unwanted side effects. Testosterone works best when combined with estrogen and progesterone therapy.
Hypothyroidism from low thyroid hormones T3 and T4 causes unwanted weight gain, constipation, fatigue, intolerance to cold and hair loss. Thyroid hormone replacement resolves hypothyroidism when the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormone. Hormone Harmony offers bioidentical T3/T4 capsules or injections to optimize metabolism, energy and wellbeing.
DHEA is an androgen hormone secreted by the adrenal glands that peaks in the 20s then gradually declines. Low DHEA is linked to inflammation, cardiovascular disease, sexual dysfunction, weakened muscles and bones, mood disorders, impaired immunity and more. Supplementing with bioidentical DHEA enhances energy, immunity, libido, strength and well-being.
Hormone Harmony tailors DHEA replacement to each woman's needs and hormonal profile. We provide oral capsules, sublingual drops, pellets or creams. DHEA works best alongside estrogen, progesterone and testosterone therapy.
Our founder Dr. Cynthia Darling tells patients: "Restoring hormonal balance through personalized plans allows women to look and feel their absolute best regardless of age. Call us today to discover your path to renewed energy, health and quality of life."
Now let's explore the options available for men.
Hormone therapy can have surprising benefits beyond transitioning gender. For example, small doses of estrogen delivered through patches, gels or pills may significantly reduce hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms in cisgender women. Hormones play complex regulatory roles throughout our bodies and modulated dosing can provide therapeutic effects we are still discovering.
Hormone Harmony uses advanced hormone testing to identify deficiencies. We then craft customized plans to restore optimal testosterone levels and reverse the effects of andropause, including:
Testosterone decreases about 1% per year after age 30 in men. Lower testosterone reduces muscle mass, energy, stamina, motivation, confidence, sexual performance and enjoyment. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) effectively relieves:
Bioidentical testosterone therapy stimulates muscle growth, enhances performance, sharpens cognition and restores healthy libido. Hormone Harmony provides individualized TRT including:
We start with the lowest doses needed to resolve symptoms then periodically adjust based on follow-up testing and feedback.
Growth hormone decreases steadily after age 30. Low HGH speeds aging and leads to weight gain, loss of bone and muscle mass, reduced endurance, decreased immunity and declining mental function.
HGH therapy effectively:
Hormone Harmony offers bioidentical HGH injections to restore youthful HGH levels for anti-aging benefits. HGH excels when combined with testosterone optimization.

The bioidentical hormones used at Hormone Harmony have an identical chemical structure to the hormones your body produces naturally. Made from plant sources, bioidentical hormones precisely match human hormones at the molecular level. This allows them to bind to receptors and work optimally in your body. Hormone Harmony uses only the highest quality bioidentical hormones to ensure safety and efficacy. We avoid synthetic hormones with side effects. With close medical supervision, bioidentical hormone therapy is extremely safe and effective.
Coverage for hormone replacement therapy depends on your specific insurance plan. Some plans cover therapy that is deemed medically necessary. Blood tests documenting a hormone deficiency are usually required for insurance coverage. Hormone Harmony will provide you with detailed statements and medical coding that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement of treatment costs and testing. We make the process as easy as possible, but insurance policies do vary in their coverage of hormone therapy.
Although women undergoing perimenopause and menopause benefit greatly from hormone therapy, both sexes can develop hormone deficiencies at any age that produce symptoms. Factors like chronic stress, poor sleep, inadequate nutrition, certain medications and environmental toxins impair hormone production throughout adulthood. Hormone Harmony can uncover hormone imbalances through testing then restore optimal levels regardless of age or gender. Healthy hormone balance is the foundation of vitality and wellbeing throughout life.
When properly dosed and monitored under medical supervision, the risks associated with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy are very low. However, estrogen and testosterone therapy may not be appropriate for certain individuals with hormonally-influenced medical conditions like prostate or breast cancer. We carefully screen patients for contraindications and avoid prescribing hormone therapy where risks outweigh potential benefits. In some cases, we use drugs like Arimidex during testosterone therapy to mitigate risks. With periodic lab testing and medical management, hormone therapy is exceptionally safe with few side effects.
Most patients begin noticing positive changes within 1-2 weeks of starting therapy. However, the full benefits take 2-3 months to fully develop. It takes time for hormone levels to optimize and exert their beneficial effects. Have patience and follow medical advice to give your customized program a chance to work. Keep track of your symptoms - most patients find steady improvements as time progresses. Contact us if your results plateau or new symptoms arise so we can adjust your treatment.We hope this guide addressed the most pressing questions about restoring your hormone health through expert therapy.
