Hormones are crucial chemical messengers that regulate many processes in the body. When hormone levels decline or become imbalanced, it can lead to unpleasant symptoms and health issues. Hormone therapy involves restoring hormones to healthy levels, which can provide immense relief.
At Renewed Balance Clinic in Medina, we specialize in cutting-edge hormone therapies to help patients feel their best. We offer science-based treatments tailored to your unique needs. Read on to learn all about hormone health and how we can help.
There are several key hormones that often fall out of optimal ranges. Getting tested and detecting imbalances early is important. We provide state-of-the-art testing to pinpoint exactly which hormones need balancing.
Testosterone deficiency becomes increasingly common in men after age 30. Regrettably, low testosterone has become an epidemic, now affecting over 15% of men. Declining testosterone corrodes vitality in men - plummeting energy levels, eroding muscle mass, sapping sex drive, and weakening bone density.
Restoring healthy testosterone through testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can completely rejuvenate men suffering from low T. Most men are amazed at how much better they feel after beginning treatment.
In women, the decline of reproductive hormones like estrogen during menopause triggers hot flashes, vaginal dryness, disrupted sleep, mood changes, and accelerated aging. For some women, symptoms severely undermine quality of life.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can renew comfort and vitality by optimizing estrogen and progesterone levels. Most women find immense relief from troublesome menopausal symptoms after beginning HRT under medical supervision.
The thyroid gland regulates metabolism via hormones like thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Deficiency slows metabolism, accelerating weight gain and sapping energy. Conversely, excess thyroid activity speeds metabolism up uncomfortably. Balancing thyroid hormones is essential for maintaining stable weight and energy levels.
Various other hormone disturbances can undermine wellbeing - growth hormone deficiency, elevated cortisol, dysregulated blood sugar, infertility issues, and more. Our cutting-edge lab testing identifies hormonal weak links. We craft therapeutic programs using bioidentical hormones to restore balance from head to toe.
Since hormonal issues often lurk without clear symptoms initially, testing is crucial for early detection. We utilize advanced diagnostic methods to comprehensively evaluate hormone status, including:
Blood tests directly measure circulating free and total hormone levels in detail- exposing imbalances needing correction. We test key hormones like testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, thyroid hormones (T3, T4), IGF-1, cortisol and more.
Saliva testing reveals real-time free hormone levels that may fluctuate during the day. Saliva tests are especially useful for scrutinizing cortisol patterns, women’s monthly hormonal variations, and customizing treatment.
Tracking symptoms provides invaluable insight that guides treatment planning. We administer research-validated symptom questionnaires for men (ADAM), women (Greene Climacteric Scale), thyroid issues, and more. Symptoms reveal how imbalances impact daily life.
Comprehensive testing illuminates underlying issues, enabling custom-tailored treatment for optimal outcomes.
After pinpointing which hormones need balancing, we develop science-based treatment regimens utilizing cutting-edge modalities:
Bioidentical hormones - testosterone, estrogen, progesterone thyroid hormones, DHEA and others- are meticulously structured to perfectly match natural hormones produced in the body. They are extensively researched and published in medical literature to be both safe and effective.
Hormone pellets offer convenient long-term dosing, bypassing intestinal absorption and liver metabolism of traditional patches and pills. Pellet implantation takes seconds under local anesthetic. Pellets dissolve slowly under the skin, providing steady hormone release lasting ~5 months. Pellets yield excellent clinical results with minimal hassle.
Compounded bioidenticals like creams, troches, and injectables allow flexible customization of dosing to suit each person’s needs. We expertly calibrate dosing to balance hormones for ideal wellness.
Peptide bioregulators activate stem cells and stimulate regeneration. Peptides help rejuvenate hormone-producing glands that may decline with age - like the pituitary, thyroid, ovaries and testes. Supporting hormonal glands enhances sustainable function long-term.
Growth hormone secretagogues combined with sound nutrition and fitness accelerate fat-burning and sculpting of lean muscle. Results transcend what is possible through diet and exercise alone. Athletes utilize peptides to amplify performance legally and safely.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy harnesses growth factors naturally present in blood to repair joints, tendons, muscles and alleviate pain. PRP injections often work when other treatments fail.
Stem cell therapy introduces fresh multipotent mesenchymal cells to renew cartilage, tendons, ligaments, skin and enhance healing after injuries or surgery. Stem cells target sites of tissue damage to stimulate regeneration.
Combining cutting-edge hormone optimization with regenerative treatments, patients enjoy transformative rejuvenation for body, mind and spirit.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Studies show that when given access to hormone therapy, transgender people report improvements in quality of life, social functioning, and overall happiness and well-being. The therapy allows them to live more authentically.
Acting promptly when hormone disturbances develop optimizes treatment response and safeguards health. Hormone imbalance symptoms often emerge subtly then compound gradually - leaving people acclimatized to declining wellness. Delaying treatment lets dysfunction take deeper root.
Thankfully, restoring balance promptly can yield dramatic improvements fairly quickly in many cases. Still, the longer imbalances persist untreated, the longer recovery takes. Catching issues early better protects long-term wellbeing.
That’s why we urge acting upon any suspicious symptoms suggestive of hormonal imbalance right away instead of “toughing it out”. Diagnosing underlying issues promptly through comprehensive testing allows crafting timely treatment to minimize discomfort and prevent decline.
Through expert therapy, most hormonal issues are highly treatable. Yet, delaying intervention tends to complicate matters. We encourage engaging cutting edge therapies like those offered at Renewed Balance Clinic early after symptoms develop for best outcomes.

Abundant intake of colorful antioxidant-rich produce, fermented vegetables, wild-caught seafood, grass-fed meats and antioxidant spices amplifies therapy benefits. We offer personalized nutrition guidance.
Gentle, pleasure-oriented movement like walking nourishes body and soul unlike stressful, depleting over-exercising. We share locations of Medina’s most inspiring nature spots for rejuvenative ambling. Enjoy parks along the shore of Lake Washington and peaceful trails through Maple Valley nearby. Indoor fitness centers offering yoga, Pilates and gentle strength training classes also nurture restoration.
Relaxation practices like breathwork, meditation, massage and float therapy counteract strain-induced cortisol and inflammation, speeding healing. Luckily, Medina hosts excellent spas and wellness centers to unwind in. Make time for rest and renewal.
A: Bioidentical hormone therapies from reputable clinics like Renewed Balance Clinic have excellent safety profiles when properly dosed and monitored under medical supervision based on definitive testing. However, quality and dosing varies among hormone providers - underscoring importance of specialist care.
A: Advancing age, chronic stress, medications, toxins, poor diet, illness and environmental factors gradually exhaust hormone-producing glands. Inherited susceptibilities also contribute for some. Lifestyle interventions aim to conserve and strengthen glandular resilience.
A: Most patients note significant improvements within 1-2 months on properly customized protocols. Yet full benefits accrue over 3-6 months as metabolic machinery recalibrates - barring any underlying nutrient deficiencies needing correction first. Tracking symptoms helps gauge progress.
A: When properly dosed, bioidentical hormones have remarkably low risks, as they are identical to native human hormones. However, estrogen and testosterone therapies could theoretically aggravate preexisting cancers when misused. We carefully screen patients to minimize risks. Mild water retention or irritability may initially occur as hormone levels stabilize.
