Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) involves using medications to supplement hormones when your body is not producing enough on its own. As we age or due to medical conditions, our hormone levels can become imbalanced, leading to unpleasant symptoms. HRT can help restore optimal hormone levels, thereby relieving symptoms and promoting better health.
HRT is available in various forms like tablets, skin patches, gels, implants, and injections. The therapy typically replaces estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone. The type and dosage of hormones are customized to your body's needs through blood tests.
At Renew Hormone Institute in Senoia, we provide cutting edge bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to help patients regain hormonal balance. Bioidentical hormones have a chemical structure identical to naturally occurring hormones in the human body. This allows them to integrate seamlessly with your body's physiology.
You may be a candidate for HRT if you suffer from:
Timely treatment of hormone deficiencies through replacement therapy can provide immense benefits. It is vital to understand when your body needs assistance regulating hormones.
Some benefits of HRT include:
Restoration of hormone levels alleviates unpleasant deficiency symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and low libido. Balanced hormones translate to improved physical and emotional comfort.
Optimal hormones are vital for overall good health. HRT helps prevent chronic inflammation leading to conditions like heart disease. It also promotes bone health, reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
With balanced hormones, sleep, mood, cognition, exercise capacity, appearance, and self-confidence all get a boost. Your zest and enjoyment for life is restored.
HRT therapy is suitable for both women and men suffering from hormonal imbalances. Let's look at common treatments:

Balancing estrogen levels has a beneficial impact on body weight distribution in menopausal women. Estrogen assists utilize fat stores for energy metabolism while regulating appetite hormones.
Our specialized programs incorporate bioidentical HRT with fitness guidance and dietary counseling for effective, holistic weight management.
Testosterone levels naturally decline with age in men, resulting in unpleasant symptoms. We offer comprehensive treatment including:
