Hormone Replacement Therapy
Mounting scientific evidence favors a balanced endocrine system for optimal heart health, bone health, sexual health, body composition, and cognitive function.
The endocrine system is made up of more than 11 major hormone-secreting glands that provide information and cellular instructions. It does this by releasing chemical messengers called hormones through the bloodstream to act on a variety of cells through specific receptors on or in the cell.
The relationship among the endocrine glands demands that they work in harmony, and that hormone levels stay within specific ranges to maintain system integration and optimal functioning.
Hormone imbalance can result in:
- decline in energy, fatigue
- decreased libido and sex drive
- weaker erections (men)
- vaginal dryness and hot flashes (women)
- weight gain, increased body fat
- loss of lean muscle and muscular strength
- sleep disturbances
- slower cognitive functions and reduced work productivity
- emotional irritability
Your Hormone Levels Can Be Safely and Effectively Modulated and Restored to an Optimal Range.
At Alternity Healthcare, we don’t just check hormones in a blood test. We also test the saliva and can evaluate how hormones are being broken down and released in the urine, as well.
We only prescribe bio-identical hormones, which mirror the chemical and molecular structure of your natural hormones. We believe they are the safest and most effective hormone therapy.
Women
Hormone replacement for women remains controversial due to incomplete and frequently conflicting information available to women and their doctors.
Men
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for men is emerging as a necessary ingredient for healthy aging (“Essential for Optimal Health”). Men do not have as abrupt change in their hormone status as women. Men experience a more gradual decline in hormones and physiologic functions.
