What is Hormone Balancing?
Hormone balancing refers to any treatment that combats hormonal imbalance. As men and women age, or due to other circumstances, they experience a loss of key hormones. These hormones play an essential role in regulating nearly every function of the body.
Hormonal imbalance causes many symptoms often associated with aging. Symptoms that can be addressed with hormone balancing include:
- Low libido
- Chronic fatigue
- Male and female pattern baldness
- Weight gain
- Hot flashes
- Vaginal dryness (women)
- Mood swings
- Lack of mental clarity
- Trouble focusing
- Loss of lean muscle
- Fibromyalgia
- Insomnia
- Depression
No two people experience hormonal imbalance exactly the same. Because of this, these symptoms are just some of the many problems that can stem from hormonal imbalance. While any hormone in the body can become imbalanced, the most common hormonal imbalances stem from:
- Testosterone
- Estrogen
- Progesterone
How Does Hormone Balancing Work?
Hormone balancing works by restoring the body's natural hormone levels. This helps combat age-related decline and the symptoms of hormonal imbalance.
Hormone balancing typically begins with the use of a hormone level test. A hormone level test is used to determine if an imbalance is present and which hormones are out of balance. There are several ways to test hormone levels in the body. The most common hormone level tests include:
If a hormonal imbalance is found, hormone balancing and optimization can begin. The process of replacing and replenishing hormones can be done in several ways. These are known as hormone therapy delivery methods. Hormones can be balanced using:
- Patches
- Pellets
- Pills
- Creams
- Gels
- Injections
It's important to note that a provider typically won't utilize all of these hormone delivery methods. The best one for a given situation depends on the needs of the patient and the preference of provider.
While hormone balancing can be performed with synthetic or lab-created hormones, many providers prefer the use of bioidentical hormones. Bioidentical hormones are versions of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and others that are chemically-identical to what the body produces naturally.
