Hormone Restoration: An Integrative and Longitudinal Approach

The Importance of Hormonal Balance

Hormones play a crucial role in regulating mood, energy levels, metabolism, and overall health. In women, fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone during menopause can result in symptoms like:

• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Mood swings and irritability
• Fatigue and sleep disturbances
• Weight gain and changes in metabolism
• Vaginal dryness and discomfort

For men, declining testosterone levels—often associated with andropause—can lead to issues such as:

• Decreased libido and erectile dysfunction
• Loss of muscle mass and increased body fat
• Fatigue and reduced stamina
• Mood changes, including irritability or depression
• Difficulty with concentration and memory

Addressing these hormonal imbalances is key to improving quality of life for both men and women.

A Holistic Approach to Hormone Restoration

At Wellness at Century City, we combine natural therapies with prescription options when needed to restore optimal hormonal balance. Every patient is unique, and our approach is designed to meet your individual needs:

• Nutritional Support: Proper nutrition supports hormone production and balance. For men, zinc and vitamin D are particularly important for testosterone levels, while phytoestrogens and healthy fats can support women’s estrogen balance.
• Herbal Remedies: Herbs like maca, ashwagandha, and tribulus may help boost testosterone in men, while black cohosh and red clover can support women experiencing menopausal symptoms.
• Lifestyle Modifications: Regular exercise, stress management, and restorative sleep are crucial for maintaining hormonal health for both genders. Strength training, in particular, can help boost testosterone in men.

In cases where natural methods alone aren’t enough, we consider bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for both men and women. Whether it’s balancing estrogen and progesterone or replenishing testosterone levels, our goal is to use the least invasive and most effective treatment options available.

Comprehensive Hormone Testing

Accurate testing is essential for a tailored hormone restoration plan. We use both blood and saliva tests to assess hormone levels, providing a detailed picture of imbalances in estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and other key hormones. This thorough evaluation helps us craft a personalized treatment plan designed to restore your hormonal balance effectively.

Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance

Understanding the symptoms of hormone imbalance can help you identify when it’s time to seek treatment. Common symptoms in both men and women include:

• Fatigue and low energy
• Changes in libido and sexual function
• Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
• Mood swings, irritability, or depression
• Decreased muscle mass and strength
• Cognitive issues like memory loss or brain fog

By addressing these symptoms early, we can help you restore balance and vitality to your life.
