While there are many similarities in hormone function between men and women, we believe that a gender specific approach is paramount for any optimization program.
For Men
For Women
Hormones (testosterone, estrogen, progesterone) and thyroid hormone receptors are present in every body system. Every day we are degenerating or regenerating and at some point, the scales tip. We can age differently, prevent problems and live a better quality of life with Hormone Therapy.

Low Testosterone Levels?
In men, hormonal imbalances are often linked to a decrease in testosterone levels. Symptoms often start to appear during mid-life but can also manifest earlier.
Hormone Imbalances?
In women, symptoms of hormonal imbalance are diverse and can significantly affect quality of life, especially during perimenopause and menopause.

Testosterone
Known as the primary male sex hormone, but also present in women in smaller amounts.
Progesterone
Another critical hormone for reproductive health, particularly in regulating the menstrual cycle and maintaining pregnancy.
LH, FSH and DHEA-sulfate
Key pituitary and adrenal hormones that help to regulate normal cycle and patterns.
Estradiol
A form of estrogen, essential for reproductive and sexual function, as well as bone health.
Thyroid Hormones
These hormones regulate metabolism, energy levels, cognitive health and skin and hair health.
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin
A protein that binds to sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen, regulating their activity.
Symptoms of Hormone Deficiency May Mimic Other Diseases
During a consultation, we will cover so much more than hormones. The symptoms of hormone imbalances often overlap with other problems and health issues.
Understanding The Thyroid
The importance of the thyroid cannot be overstated. It regulates vital processes such as:
- Metabolism
- Heart Health
- Digestion
- Muscle Control
- Brain function

Creams / Gels
Creams and gels are topical methods that are absorbed through the skin. They are typically applied to areas like the arms, thighs, or abdomen.
Creams and gels may transfer to others through skin contact. This is important to consider when choosing this therapy.
They also require daily application, 1-2 times daily.
Pills / Troches
Oral pills and troches are a convenient and familiar form of medication. Absorption can vary as this method has to pass through your GI tract.
Patches
Adhesive patches that release hormones through the skin over a set period, usually changed weekly or bi-weekly.
Advantages: Provides consistent hormone levels, easy to use, and bypasses the digestive system.
Considerations: Can cause skin irritation, visible on the skin.
Injections
Injections deliver hormones directly into the bloodstream through intramuscular or subcutaneous injections.
Advantages: Provides high and consistent hormone levels, less frequent dosing (weekly or bi-weekly).
Considerations: Requires a healthcare professional for administration or training for self-injection, can cause discomfort at the injection site.
