The first step in correcting a hormone imbalance is testing to identify where and why deficiencies or excesses are occurring. This section outlines details of diagnostic testing and what to potentially expect.
Testing gives objective data to reveal hormonal conditions causing unpleasant signs and symptoms that negatively impact quality of life, such as:
Hormone Harmony utilizes advanced diagnostic testing for a comprehensive analysis of your:
Testing protocols involve a simple blood draw. Urine or saliva tests may also be used for specific hormones like cortisol. Proper sample collection technique is utilized to ensure accurate results.
Our testing profiles check total levels along with free/bioavailable amounts of key hormones. For testosterone, we measure total, free/bioavailable, and SHBG. Thyroid testing includes TSH, free T3 and T4. Others like cortisol are timed for optimal accuracy.
Metabolic and nutrient testing provides additional insight. Test results are carefully evaluated by our experienced clinicians to create the best treatments.
If test results reveal low testosterone (low-T), testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) may be recommended to alleviate troublesome symptoms and restore optimal health. Hormone Harmony offers state-of-the-art TRT programs customized for your needs.
TRT involves replacing deficient levels of the vital hormone testosterone via external administration. Therapeutic goals focus on resolving symptoms and getting testosterone levels into a healthy range, not super-physiological amounts. TRT can be life-changing for those suffering from inadequately low testosterone.
Some of the many benefits TRT offers include:
If testing confirms low testosterone requiring treatment, your clinician will collaborate with you to determine the optimal TRT plan based on your health profile and goals. Procedures may involve:
Ongoing progress monitoring ensures your protocol is adjusted for maximum safety and benefits. We also provide nutritional, fitness and lifestyle guidance.
Hormone tests can be used to detect health issues before symptoms appear. For example, thyroid hormone tests can reveal an underactive thyroid years before weight gain or fatigue sets in, allowing treatment to begin early and prevent future problems. Proactively monitoring hormones provides a valuable head start on maintaining good health.
There are also lifestyle factors that can impact hormone health and effectiveness of treatments like TRT. Here is some additional local health information for the Deer Park area.
Deer Park features a temperate four-season climate with warm, sunny summers and cold, snowy winters. Dramatic seasonal shifts can influence hormones. TRT results can vary by climate and season. Our protocols account for these factors.
Many patients enjoy starting TRT in spring when rising temperatures and light exposure improve treatment experience. Of course anytime of year is fine to begin TRT under your doctor's supervision. Weather is just one consideration among many when mapping out care.
In addition to testing offered at Hormone Harmony, residents can also obtain hormone blood tests from AnyLab Test Now located at 123 Main St. or Deer Park Urgent Care Clinic at 234 Park Rd.
Some favorite neighborhood spots for TRT patients to walk, relax and de-stress include:
Light exercise, socializing and reflecting in nature are great for the mind and body!
Along with walking, getting regular strength training and cardio exercise boosts TRT effectiveness. Top local gyms include:
Our clinicians can offer customized fitness guidance to compliment your therapy.
A nourishing whole food diet, adequate sleep, stress reduction practices like meditation or yoga, and positive social connections provide the foundation for good hormone health and effective treatment plans. Hormone Harmony offers wraparound care with access to services like:
