Hormone therapy is the use of hormones to supplement low hormone levels and treat the symptoms of hormone deficiency. As we age or due to medical conditions, our bodies may not produce adequate levels of key hormones like testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, growth hormone etc. Restoring these hormones to optimal levels can provide significant health benefits and an improved quality of life.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) involves taking supplements of these hormones to make up for the body's deficit. It is prescribed to both men and women for issues like hypothyroidism, menopause in women, low testosterone in men, and other hormone-related problems. Timely treatment of hormone deficiencies is critical to halt and reverse issues before long-term damage occurs.
Hormone therapy provides a wide array of benefits, including:
Restoring deficient hormones to optimal levels can quite literally help us look better, feel better, function better, and live healthier lives.
There are various types of hormone supplements used in treatment based on the deficient hormone:
Within these, there are different forms like pills, patches, gels, injections etc. based on patient preference. A customized therapy plan is created for each individual based on their needs and goals.
The Renewed Balance Clinic located in Milton provides advanced hormone replacement therapies to residents in the region. Our clinic is headed by Dr. Jane Smith, a board certified hormone therapy specialist with over 15 years of experience.
We offer a comprehensive set of hormone optimization services using cutting edge protocols personalized to each patient's needs. Instead of just relieved symptoms, our goal is help you thrive by achieving optimal hormonal balance tailored specifically for you.
We provide complete care including:
We offer therapies focusing on common hormones that decline with age:
Testosterone therapy is prescribed for men to relieve symptoms of low testosterone (low T). This includes gels, injections, pellets and other proven treatment methods to restore healthy testosterone levels.
Men experiencing symptoms like low energy, reduced endurance, weight gain (especially belly fat), emotional changes (irritability, mood changes), poor concentration (“brain fog”), reduced muscle mass and strength, erectile dysfunction etc. may be candidates for TRT.
Restored testosterone enhances physical and mental energy, increases lean muscle mass, reduces body fat, elevates mood and motivation, sharpens mental focus, improves sex drive and performance - helping men regain their vitality.
BHRT involves balancing estrogen, progesterone and/or testosterone levels in women going through perimenopause or menopause. Declining estrogen is responsible for hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, accelerated skin aging, weight gain, sleep disruption, anxiety, mood changes and other menopausal symptoms.
BHRT helps stabilize hormones, effectively treating symptoms to help women feel like themselves again. Benefits include reduced hot flashes, better sleep, balanced mood, increased energy levels, improved skin and hair condition, joint pain relief, increased muscle tone, healthier weight and body composition.
With thyroid disorders, the thyroid gland does not produce adequate levels of key hormones T3 and T4 which regulate metabolism. Thyroid hormone therapy treats hypothyroidism using oral supplements - improving symptoms like unexplained weight gain, constant fatigue despite adequate sleep, hair loss, feelings of coldness, muscle weakness, impaired memory etc.
Getting thyroid levels optimized relieves these symptoms, helps correct metabolic issues leading to easier weight management and boosts overall well-being.
Growth hormone (GH) levels start dropping after age 30, and faster in some people leading to adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD). Declining GH affects metabolism, body composition, muscle tone, hair & skin condition, energy levels, endurance, mood and longevity.
Sermorelin therapy stimulates the body's own production of growth hormone. Benefits include increased lean muscle mass, decreased body fat (especially belly fat), tighter skin, thicker hair, increased bone density, enhanced injury healing, better sleep quality, increased energy and endurance, improved mood and cognitive abilities.
The first step is getting comprehensive diagnostic blood testing assessing all major hormones - testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormones (T3, T4), growth hormone etc. Testing provides objective hormone level data essential to evaluate deficiencies and determine the right treatment protocols.
We use top specialty labs and extensive panel testing approach instead of the very limited testing some providers use. Testing is covered by all major insurance providers in the region when properly coded.
Next is a detailed hormone consultation with our doctor to review your blood test results, understand your symptoms and assess your overall health. This helps create a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique hormone needs and health goals.
We spend quality one-on-one time, listening carefully and addressing all your questions and concerns. You’ll leave fully informed and confident about precisely which hormones need balancing, why you need treatment and the best options for you.
Once treatment begins, patients notice improvements within weeks as optimized hormone levels are restored. Follow up blood tests are conducted periodically to monitor progress and ensure hormones are perfectly balanced for you. Adjustments to dose or medications are made whenever necessary.
Support is provided every step of the way to guide you through the initial transition process as your body adapts to balanced hormone levels. Most patients feel remarkably better within a short time on treatment.
We also provide customized diet, exercise, stress management and supplement recommendations for each person. Adopting healthy lifestyle practices accelerates therapeutic benefits, speeds improvement of symptoms and helps sustain optimal hormonal balance long term.
Even small positive changes to your daily routine can produce big results. We partner with you providing science based expert coaching tailored to your needs and goals.

Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals match their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Studies show that after hormone treatment, brain activity and structure in transgender people better resembles that of their identified gender, suggesting an innate biological basis. Hormone therapy allows many transgender people to feel more comfortable and confident while reducing anxiety and depression.
There are a wide variety of benefits possible from hormone therapy, with specific improvements experienced based on each person's individual hormone needs and optimization goals.
For example, some common goals patients seek to achieve:
Balancing key hormones directly elevates physical and mental energy levels, significantly increasing endurance even with modest exercise. You’ll feel less drained trying to get through each day, with plenty of fuel for everything you want to do.
Proper hormonal balance shifts body composition facilitating much easier fat loss (especially stubborn belly fat) and cellulite reduction. Improved metabolism, thyroid function and growth hormone levels make shedding extra fat faster and more sustainable.
Hormones like testosterone, growth hormone and insulin growth factor-1 are powerful muscle building signals. Optimizing levels amplifies benefits from resistance training or bodyweight exercise. Gaining noticeable muscle tone becomes much more achievable.
Deficiencies in hormones like thyroid, growth hormone and sex hormones directly dull focus, impair retention and hinder fluid intelligence. Restored levels sharpen mind, heighten mental acuity, and elevate cognitive performance in all areas.
Multiple hormones influence sleep quality and duration. Addressing deficiencies results in deeper more restorative sleep and feeling well rested awake. Insomnia and sleep issues greatly improve or are fully corrected.
Estrogen and collagen production decline with hormonal imbalance, accelerating skin/hair aging and causing issues like thinning hair or brittle nails. Restored hormone levels revitalizes skin, hair and nails - leading to thicker, shinier, healthier hair...glowing skin tone...and strong nails.
Imbalances in key hormones like thyroid, sex hormones and growth hormone destabilize mood. Optimizing levels balances neurotransmitter activity bringing emotional stability. Dramatic mood and anxiety improvements provide you sustained cheeriness and calmness.
Hormones drive libido and sexual performance. Declining testosterone, estrogen, thyroid etc. reduces desire and causes issues like erectile dysfunction or vaginal dryness. Harmonizing hormones reignites desire and completely restores sexual health and enjoyment.
Each person has their own blend of needs and goals from treatment that our therapies can effectively help them actualize when hormone levels are properly restored.
