Hormone therapy involves supplementing hormones that are lacking or out of balance in the body. This can help alleviate unpleasant symptoms and improve overall health and wellbeing.
Hormone imbalance can occur due to aging, stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, and other lifestyle factors. Some of the most common hormones that become deficient are testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormone, melatonin, and growth hormone. Replacing these vital hormones can provide extensive benefits.
Balance & Renew Clinic specializes in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to help patients optimize their hormone levels. We offer cutting-edge therapies to suit each patient's unique needs. Our experienced medical staff provides compassionate care and expert guidance so patients can regain health, vitality and enjoy an improved quality of life.
The first step in hormone therapy is diagnostic testing to pinpoint specific deficiencies or imbalances. Balance & Renew Clinic provides state-of-the-art testing including:
Getting a comprehensive hormone panel is crucial before starting therapy. Hormone levels fluctuate based on age, gender, lifestyle habits, genetics, health conditions, and other parameters.
"Getting properly tested is the only way to know your baseline hormone status. We individualize treatment plans based on each patient's lab results and symptoms." - Dr. E. Expert, Balance & Renew Clinic Medical Director
Testing also establishes a starting point to monitor patient progress on therapy. Follow-up bloodwork lets patients quantify improvements and make dosage adjustments as needed.
Optimizing hormones with replacement therapy can lead to impressive benefits including:
"I spent years feeling lousy with low energy and aches and pains. Getting my hormones balanced at Balance & Renew Clinic gave me my life back - I feel healthier in my 50s than I did at 30!" - Maria D., Balance & Renew Clinic Patient
Balance & Renew Clinic offers cutting-edge hormone therapies to suit each patient's physiology and lifestyle. Our expert medical team works closely with patients to create fully customized treatment plans.
Testosterone is crucial for physical strength, stamina, metabolism, and sex drive in both men and women. Balance & Renew Clinic offers several state-of-the-art testosterone therapies including:
We also provide accompanying therapies to keep testosterone levels optimized:
Men typically start testosterone therapy for symptoms like fatigue, low libido, erectile dysfunction, and loss of strength/muscle mass.
Women also benefit from boosting deficient testosterone levels to improve energy, athletic performance, sexual health, strength, weight management, and wellbeing.
Balancing testosterone with estrogen and progesterone is key for optimal effects in women.
Estrogen regulates female sexual development, reproductive health, cardiovascular function, bone density, weight distribution, skin elasticity, mood and cognition.
Declining estrogen is the hallmark of perimenopause and menopause. Supplementing estrogen and progesterone through hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can alleviate unpleasant symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, irregular periods, low libido, weight gain, irritability, anxiety, depression, trouble focusing, memory lapses, insomnia, osteoporosis and heart disease risk.
"Getting on bioidentical HRT was lifechanging. My debilitating menopause symptoms vanished - I feel healthy, energetic and like myself again thanks to Balance & Renew Clinic! " - Alice C., Age 52
We offer estrogen HRT including:
Estrogen therapy is combined with progesterone which balances and protects the uterus. Balance & Renew Clinic uses top quality bioidentical hormones which perfectly match natural hormones produced in the body.
The butterfly-shaped thyroid gland produces hormones T3 and T4 that regulate metabolism, energy, weight, mood, concentration, body temperature, heart rate, digestion, and more.
Hypothyroidism is a common cause of stubborn fatigue, weight gain, mental fog, constipation, aches, dry skin and hair, depression, menstrual irregularities and high cholesterol.
Replacing missing thyroid hormone can dramatically alleviate these nagging complaints. Balance & Renew Clinic offers natural desiccated thyroid supplements or prescription thyroid medications including synthroid, levothyroxine, cytomel/liothyronine and more.
"Getting treated for my underactive thyroid was life-changing - I lost weight easily, had way more energy and felt so much happier once I got my levels optimized!" - Teresa N, Age 47
We also test and address Hashimoto’s autoimmune thyroid disease. Supporting the immune system combined with thyroid hormone replacement helps patients finally feel well again.
Human growth hormone (HGH) stimulates tissue growth and regeneration. Levels steadily decline after age 30 leading to unwanted effects like decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, wrinkles, osteoporosis, stiffness, fatigue, impaired cognition, mood changes, and more.
Balance & Renew Clinic employs advanced growth hormone-releasing peptides (GHRPs) and sermorelin acetate injections to naturally restore growth hormone levels for anti-aging benefits and improved health span.
“I’d heard about growth hormone for athletic performance and longevity...The anti-aging benefits drew me in. I’m feeling terrific with more energy and stamina than I had in decades!" - Peter, Balance & Renew Clinic Male Age 63
Boosting growth hormone has been shown to:
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Studies show that when initated at a young age, hormone therapy leads to better mental health outcomes for transgender youth by alleviating gender dysphoria. This allows them to focus on normal developmental challenges.

We provide holistic guidance to support your HRT treatment for optimal response including:
Eat a balanced, whole foods diet with sufficient calories, macronutrients and micronutrients tailored to your physiology. Certain foods impact hormones - we offer customized nutrition plans.
Get 7-9 hours nightly, avoid screens before bed. Melatonin, meditation, magnesium and our other tips support deep sleep for balanced hormone function.
Uncontrolled stress raises cortisol which can suppress optimal testosterone, thyroid and other hormones. Relaxation techniques, adequate sleep, fun activities, community support and medication if needed enable better hormone response.
Exercise boosts testosterone, growth hormone and endorphin levels for mood, circulation and metabolism benefits. We provide personalized fitness guidance including weights, HIIT and recovery.
Alcohol, drugs, medications and environmental toxins strain the endocrine system. We help patients identify and minimize sources of hormone disruption.
