What is hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy is a treatment that restores depleted hormones. 

Men start to lose testosterone gradually starting at age 30, with total testosterone levels falling nearly 2% per year after that. Women experience a sharper sudden decline in their own natural hormones generally starting at age 40.

Regardless of your sex, hormone depletion can cause a number of very uncomfortable and difficult side effects. Hormone replacement therapy replenishes your hormones in a safe way. 

What are the signs that I need hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone depletion symptoms can be different in men and women. Some common problems include: 

Male hormone depletion

In men, testosterone depletion can cause erectile dysfunction, weight gain, hair loss, depression, fatigue, mood swings, muscle loss, and a number of other negative effects. 

Female hormone depletion

In women, hormone depletion can cause hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, depression, low libido, urinary incontinence, and other serious problems. 

If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms and it’s disrupting your life or making you feel less-than-great about yourself, Atlas Health Institute is here to listen compassionately, determine the cause of your problems, and prescribe a customized treatment plan.
 

How does hormone replacement therapy work?

There are a number of hormone replacement therapy options today, but Atlas Health Institute uses customized doses of supplemental hormones that are most similar to those your body produces naturally. 

Your treatment starts with a comprehensive hormone level evaluation. You’ll review your test results in detail with the Atlas Health Institute team so you can understand your ideal treatment plan.

Bioidentical hormones 

Bioidentical hormones come in pellets. Providers insert the tiny pellets under your skin, and they go to work within 7-10 days. You’ll experience quick symptom relief and the pellets maintain a stable hormone level for at least several months at a time. 

Injectable testosterone

Weekly testosterone injections can be effective for men with low testosterone. Testosterone cypionate injections peak on day three and subside by the end of the week. They’re highly regulated and specifically dosed for your body’s own natural hormone levels. 

One shot a week gives you the energy and other positive effects you need without overdosing your body with monthly testosterone. Men who take testosterone say they feel better in just three weeks.
