Living in Rock Hill and feeling like you're no longer yourself? Hormone imbalance can sap your energy, sleep, sex drive and overall health. The good news is Hormone Harmony offers customized hormone therapy to help you feel like yourself again. What Is Hormone Therapy? Hormone therapy corrects hormone deficiencies that occur with aging and health conditions. Our bodies make hormones like estrogen, testosterone and thyroid hormone to regulate metabolism, reproduction, sleep, mood and more. When levels decline, you may experience symptoms like: - Low energy and constant fatigue - Increased body fat and difficulty losing weight - Poor sleep and insomnia - Reduced mental focus and memory issues - Loss of muscle mass and reduced strength - Decreased libido and sexual function - Emotional changes like depression or anxiety Restoring balance with bioidentical hormone therapy can provide relief from these disruptive symptoms. Hormone replacement helps you maintain your vitality, health and quality of life. Why Choose Hormone Harmony for Hormone Treatment?

Hormone Therapy for Women For women in perimenopause and menopause, declining estrogen and progesterone cause noticeable effects on physical and mental health. Our clinic offers bioidentical hormone replacement including: - Estrogen - Restores estrogen to alleviate hot flashes, vaginal dryness, insomnia, bone loss and mood changes. - Progesterone - Corrects progesterone deficiency to reduce anxiety, fatigue, weight gain and irritability. - Testosterone - Small boosts of testosterone promote energy, muscle tone, sex drive and mental acuity. - Thyroid hormone - Balances low thyroid levels causing weight gain, fatigue, hair loss and many other hypothyroidism symptoms. We also address elevated androgen levels that disrupt hormone function. With a personalized women's hormone therapy program, most women find sustained relief from menopause or perimenopause symptoms. Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men Low testosterone affects most men as they age. Also called hypogonadism or low T, this hormone imbalance causes: - Loss of strength and muscle mass - Weight gain, especially around the abdomen - Low energy and endurance - Reduced mental focus and memory - Irritability and depression - Erectile dysfunction and reduced libido - Loss of facial, body and pubic hair - Hot flashes and night sweats Testosterone therapy can successfully reverse these effects of andropause and help men regain their vitality. At Hormone Harmony, we offer comprehensive men's hormone replacement including: - Testosterone - Testosterone supplementation is administered via injections, gels, pellets or other modalities to restore optimal levels. - HCG - Human chorionic gonadotropin stimulates natural testosterone production and fertility. - DHEA - Dehydroepiandrosterone, a testosterone precursor, boosts energy, immunity and bone strength. - Thyroid hormone - Low thyroid function exacerbates testosterone deficiency. Balancing thyroid hormone enhances treatment results. With our personalized men's hormone therapy approach, most men report sustained benefits including increased energy, sexual function, lean muscle mass, stamina and improved mood. Starting Hormone Replacement Therapy Beginning any treatment, a thorough evaluation guides development of your customized hormone optimization plan. Here's what to expect at your first appointment: - We'll review your health history, lab results, lifestyle and treatment goals. Be prepared to discuss any symptoms you're experiencing. - A physical exam assesses current health status. For men, this includes examination of the prostate. - Initial blood tests establish hormone levels. We may recommend additional testing to uncover issues like nutritional deficiencies, thyroid problems or metabolic disease. - Your practitioner interprets results to identify hormone imbalances. This data drives your individualized therapy protocol. - We'll discuss treatment options like hormone creams, injections, pills or pellets to restore optimal hormone levels. - You'll receive clear instructions on administering prescribed hormones and any follow-up testing needed. Expect to notice improvements in many symptoms within 2-6 weeks as your hormone therapy takes effect. Follow-up visits and testing determine if any therapy adjustments are needed. Most patients enjoy sustained benefits and improved quality of life with continued treatment. Lifestyle Supports Hormone Balance While hormone optimization provides major benefits, lifestyle adjustments magnify the positive effects: - Nutrition - An anti-inflammatory diet high in produce, lean proteins and healthy fats balances hormones. We offer nutritional counseling to help you optimize your diet. - Exercise - Regular fitness appropriate for your age and condition builds strength and balances hormones. We suggest walking trails and gyms perfect for moderate activity. - Stress reduction - High cortisol worsens hormone disruption. We teach stress management techniques like meditation, yoga and massage for relaxation. - Sleep - Adequate high-quality sleep supports hormone function. We provide sleep hygiene guidance to improve your sleep. With personalized care, hormone therapy significantly improves wellbeing. However, hormone balance incorporates your entire lifestyle for optimal mind-body health.
