Hormone therapy involves using medications or supplements to restore hormone levels that are low or unbalanced. Many people experience hormonal changes with age or due to medical conditions that can lead to unpleasant symptoms. Hormone therapy can help alleviate issues like fatigue, low sex drive, trouble sleeping, and more.
At Balance Health Clinic in Camby, we offer cutting-edge hormone therapy to help patients feel their best. We specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), which means using hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced in the body. This advanced therapy can effectively treat hormonal imbalances while avoiding unwanted side effects of synthetic hormones.
There are many reasons why your hormones may become imbalanced, leading to suboptimal levels. Common causes include:
Since hormones affect almost all body tissues, having too much or too little of key hormones can cause wide-ranging signs and symptoms. Common symptom categories include:
If you’ve noticed any persistent symptoms on this list, hormone testing may provide helpful insights. The experienced practitioners at Balance Health Clinic can run the appropriate lab work and determine whether hormone optimization could help you feel healthier and more energized.
When done properly under medical supervision, hormone therapy offers many potential upsides like:
The degree of benefit depends on the hormones that are out of balance, your age, symptoms, lifestyle and other factors. But most patients report significant improvements in quality of life from properly administered hormone replacement therapy.
Determining the right hormone therapy starts with testing to identify any imbalances. Treatment is then customized based on which hormones are low or high to restore optimal balance.
Comprehensive hormone testing gives us a snapshot of what’s happening inside your body. Based on symptoms and risk factors, we may check levels of key hormones like:
Blood draws are generally done first thing in the morning when hormone levels are most stable. Follow up testing is used to monitor patient progress on therapy.
State-of-the-art hormone testing allows our practitioners to determine exactly which hormones are out of optimal range for your gender and age. This precise diagnosis guides customized treatment plans.
Once we understand your unique hormone profile and needs, we can develop an integrated plan to restore balance. Balance Health Clinic specializes in bioidentical hormone replacement, using molecularly identical hormones tailored to your body’s ideal ratios.
The most common delivery methods we use include:
Dosages start low and are gradually adjusted based on follow up lab work and symptom monitoring. The goal is to alleviate deficiency symptoms while keeping levels in the optimal range. This fine-tuning process requires an expert practitioner guiding each step.

Hormone therapy can help trans women develop fuller breasts, softer skin, decreased body hair, and changes in fat distribution that lead to more feminine body contours. However, it does not significantly alter bone structure, voice pitch, or height for those whose puberty has already concluded.
Hormone issues tend to worsen gradually over time. This means that symptoms escalate slowly, and people simply get used to not feeling their best. But the downstream consequences of prolonged hormone deficiency can be serious.
For example, low testosterone in men raises the risk of:
Likewise, menopausal women with unmanaged low estrogen levels face higher likelihood of:
The key takeaway is that ignoring hormone issues won’t make them go away. And over time, feeling tired, gaining weight, and losing vitality takes a real toll on quality of life. In some cases the increased disease risks are substantial.
At Balance Health Clinic, we emphasize early detection and timely treatment to help patients regain energy, health and quality of life. Don’t write off exhaustion, weight gain or low libido as “just part of aging”. Optimizing your hormone balance provides loads of benefits now, and reduces future health risks.
