What is hormone optimization and how does it work?

Hormone optimization is a science of optimizing hormones to levels that are no longer adequately produced by the body. Genetic programming causes us to lose 1% - 2% per year of essential hormones starting at the age of 30. Over time, the effects of naturally decling hormones make us feel tired, stressed and burned out. No wonder it is called "over the hill" or being past your peak. All hormones are measured including growth hormone, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, insulin and cortisol.Most are diminished to some degree, some more than others. The key is to have an experienced physician analyze the hormones, oxidative stress, metabolic changes and restore function to safe ranges that give the best opportunity for a healthy and vigorous life.

How soon will I start experiencing results?

This varies with each person. Some experiencing results within days such as improved energy. Like a beginning exercise program, you generally can expect results within 1 - 3 months depending on your ability and level of training especially weight and fat loss. The majority of our patients report benefits, such as an increase or improvement in libido, energy, memory, sleep, moods, and an overall sense of well-being.

What's the process?

It is called the Executive Health Evaluation, a 5 hour process that involves a comprehensive physical, mental, psychological, wellness and preventative report on the state of your health now and the direction for the future. It begins with blood tests that analzyes the degree of deficiency, identify potential diseases, screening for cancer, diabetes and heart disease. A comprehensive health questionaire is reviewed to discover the source of problems. Baseline measurements are obtained to design a personal prescription to achieve goals, results and improve health. Testing may include: EKG, VO2 max, Cat Scan, DEXA, body fat%, BMI, BMR, Brain testing, psychological testing, and vitamin testing.

What hormones are evaluated?

All hormones are evaluated. It is useful to obtain baseline levels to compare with future testing. Analyzing all hormones offers the best opportunity to fully evaluate where the problems originate. Cortisol and insulin are hormones are instrumental in fat storage and aging therefore are essential to evaluate for diabetes potential and adrenal stress. Growth hormone, testosterone, thyroid, estrogen, progesterone and related pituitary hormone levels are some of the hormones tested. Bioidentical hormones are used when available and when appropriate.

Will this treatment interfere with my regular medications or supplements?

Generally not. In some instances, medications may actually be reduced or no longer needed. During the evaluation, we will consider these issues and advise you, working with your personal physician, if you choose.

What about the negative press coverage concerning hormone replacement therapy?

We only recommend hormones and dosages supported by evidence-based protocols. Most women over 35 need some form of hormone supplementation. That applies to premenopausal women and those who have reached menopause. We perform a baseline evaluation to help determine exactly which hormones are diminished, how to replenish, why the hormone is important and offer alternative supplements and suggestions. Menopause and Andropause is a part of the aging process, resulting in a hormone deficiency condition. To regain and maintain optimal health, it's essential to supplement (not replace) lost hormones with natural, bioidentical hormones whenever possible. Identical hormone molecules are natural hormones and as close as possible to your own hormonal secretions; artificial hormones are not natural to the human body. Recent studies suggest low sex hormone levels contribute to heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
