Balance & Renew Clinic specializes in hormone optimization therapy for both women and men. We provide customized hormone replacement therapy to help patients regain optimal hormone balance and alleviate unpleasant symptoms caused by hormone deficiencies. Proper hormone levels are essential for overall health and quality of life. When hormones become imbalanced, patients may experience issues like fatigue, difficulty sleeping, weight gain, loss of sex drive, and other problems. Through our innovative therapies, we can help patients feel like their best selves again.
There are several key hormones that often become imbalanced, leading to undesirable effects. At Balance & Renew Clinic, we frequently treat deficiencies in the following hormones:
Testosterone is an essential sex hormone for both men and women. In men, low testosterone can cause:
In women, testosterone plays a vital role in:
Male hormone replacement therapy at Balance & Renew Clinic can safely increase testosterone to optimal levels in men with low counts. We create customized treatments involving testosterone injections, gels, or pellets based on each patient's needs and preferences.
Estrogen regulates the female reproductive system. Women's hormone therapy can provide estrogen to alleviate unpleasant symptoms like:
During perimenopause and menopause, estrogen levels decline rapidly. Our clinic offers bioidentical estrogen therapy with progesterone to help women maintain hormonal balance and good health.
Thyroid hormones T3 and T4 control metabolism and impact many vital processes in the body. Low levels lead to:
Through comprehensive lab testing, we diagnose thyroid disorders and customize treatment plans involving thyroid hormone medications. Balancing this gland is essential for restoring wellbeing.
In addition to the hormones above, we also frequently treat growth hormone and cortisol imbalances at Balance & Renew Clinic. Our specialized medical team stays up-to-date on the latest advancements in hormone replacement therapy to help patients optimize all key hormones.

We counsel all hormone therapy patients at Balance & Renew Clinic on key lifestyle factors for supporting treatment and promoting long-lasting health:
Anti-Inflammatory Diet
Choosing anti-inflammatory foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains and clean proteins helps balance hormones and reduce symptoms. We provide nutrition guidance or refer clients to registered dietitians.
Strength & Cardio Combo
Incorporating both aerobic activity and resistance training weekly provides optimal hormonal and metabolic benefits. We discuss specifics like target heart rates and use of free weights.
Reduce Cortisol
Excess cortisol from high stress disrupts hormone function. We teach skills like mindfulness meditation, breathing exercises, nature immersion and music therapy to curb anxiety and cortisol production. Clients feel calmer, sleep better and produce hormones smoothly.
Adopting healthy lifestyle behaviors potentiates results from hormone therapy for substantially enhanced quality of life, now and in later years. Our integrative care empowers patients with total wellbeing.
