Hormone therapy (HT) involves correcting hormonal imbalances by supplementing hormones that are low or blocking hormones that are too high. It can provide immense benefits for those suffering from hormonal deficiencies or excesses. Balanced Hormone Clinic specializes in multiple forms of hormone therapy to help East Dublin residents optimize health, wellness and quality of life.
Many struggle with nonspecific symptoms that actually stem from hormonal issues. Common signs of hormone deficiencies include:
Feeling constantly drained despite adequate sleep points to issues like low testosterone or thyroid disorders. Optimal hormonal levels support consistent energy levels and metabolism.
Unexpected weight fluctuations often accompany imbalances in key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, cortisol or insulin. Restoring balance facilitates healthy weight management.
Hormones like testosterone and estrogen heavily impact sex drive and sexual health in both men and women. Imbalances commonly manifest with low libido, erectile dysfunction or vaginal dryness.
Deficiencies in serotonin, dopamine, estrogen, progesterone and other hormones can undermine mental health. Patients often experience depression, anxiety, irritability and emotional dysregulation.
These notoriously impact women undergoing menopause, as estrogen levels shift. But they also affect men with hormonal issues like thyroid disorders or low testosterone.
Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid hormones all influence hair growth cycles. Imbalances lead to excessive shedding, thinning, slowing growth and bald patches.
Hormones like cortisol and melatonin regulate sleep-wake cycles. Disruptions often lead to insomnia, restless sleep or frequent waking at night.
By recognizing these common symptoms, patients can seek appropriate treatment through hormone testing and replacement therapy. Balanced Hormone Clinic provides comprehensive care.
Hormone therapy involves correcting deficiencies or imbalances by directly supplementing hormones. It bypasses the typical endocrine feedback loops to restore optimal levels. Below are basics of the most common replacement therapies:
These key female reproductive hormones diminish during perimenopause and menopause. Supplementing them treats hot flashes, vaginal dryness, low libido, sleep disruption, heart issues, emotional changes and osteoporosis.
Hypothyroidism from Hashimoto’s or inflammation causes fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, pain and mood changes. Levothyroxine (T4) or liothyronine (T3) tablets restore thyroid function and energy levels.
Growth hormone lessens with age, reducing cell regeneration, muscle mass, bone density and immunity while increasing body fat and cholesterol. HGH injections renew energy, strength, skin thickness, mental clarity and heart function.
Declining neurotransmitter levels disturb sleep, mood, focus, motivation, appetite and digestion. Supplements like melatonin, 5-HTP (serotonin) and L-dopa (dopamine) restore mental health, cognitive abilities and sleep quality.
Key hormones to measure and potentially supplement include testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormones, cortisol, DHEA, growth hormone, insulin, leptin, serotonin, dopamine and melatonin. Balanced Hormone Clinic provides testing and personalized plans.
Hormonal issues become more severe over time without proper treatment. Prioritizing early detection and intervention is critical to minimize risks, dependence and loss of vitality.
Unaddressed hormone deficiencies drain energy, libido and optimism. Mood disorders, sexual dysfunction, weight gain, fatigue and mental fog worsen over months and years without treatment.
Imbalanced insulin, cortisol and thyroid hormones drive inflammation, cholesterol changes, blood sugar dysregulation and metabolic issues. This spikes cardiovascular disease and diabetes risks over time.
Deficient estrogen, testosterone, thyroid and adrenal hormones hasten risky neurological changes like reduced blood flow, thinner gray matter, less dopamine and impaired cognition. Therapies protect the aging brain.
Estrogen and testosterone deficiency increase risks for breast, endometrial and prostate cancers. Growth hormone deficits also raise chances of malignancy over the long run.
Without supporting hormones, women experience earlier menopause and worse symptoms like painful sex. Similarly, men face earlier erectile dysfunction, prostate changes and fertility loss without testosterone therapy.
Declines in anabolic hormones like testosterone, growth hormone and IGF-1 accelerate sarcopenia (muscle loss) and dangerously weaken bones over time. This raises risks of osteoporosis and injury.
Catching hormonal dysfunction early and intervening stops this downward spiral to support active longevity, healthspan and wellbeing. Balanced Hormone Clinic offers comprehensive testing and evidence-based therapies.
Hormone therapy can help treat some mental health conditions. Studies show that stabilizing hormone levels in those with conditions like PMS or postpartum depression can significantly improve mood and emotional regulation. This suggests a complex interplay between our hormones and emotions that we are still striving to fully understand.

Optimizing hormones hinges on accurately diagnosing deficiencies. Balanced Hormone Clinic offers advanced testing to uncover imbalance issues:
We assess hormone metabolism markers linked to dysfunction risk using comprehensive blood panels and urinalysis. Definitive hormone tests follow if warning signs emerge.
Easy at-home saliva testing kits measure free (usable) fractions of key hormones over 24 hours. This captures fluctuations missed on single blood draws. We test up to 10 biomarkers.
Genes influence hormone status and therapy responses. Analyzing 1200 DNA markers helps predict deficiencies and tailor treatment plans. Common targets include estrogen, testosterone, folate and methylation genes.
Precise body scanning visualizes fat vs lean muscle distribution. Low muscle and high belly fat reflect growth hormone, testosterone and cortisol issues. Metrics track therapy efficacy.
We support patients with interpreting results, planning follow-ups and selecting treatments. Accurately diagnosing hormone dysfunction is the crucial first step in proper therapy.
Testosterone powers male health, but declines with age, stress and illnesses. Low testosterone goes undiagnosed in nearly 40% of men over 45 suffering symptoms like low energy, reduced strength and sex drive.
After screening tests show likely deficiency, Balanced Hormone Clinic confirms it through blood testing for free and total testosterone. Levels below 300 ng/dL often require therapy. Genetics inform treatment plans.
TRT boosts energy, mood, cognition, body composition, sexual function and cardiovascular health. Patients see increased virility, vitality and disease resilience on optimized therapy.
Balanced Hormone Clinic offers skin gels/creams, muscular injections, subcutaneous pellets and nasal gels to restore testosterone levels. We work together to select the optimal modality for patient lifestyles.
We retest blood levels after 6 weeks of therapy to ensure target ranges between 500-1000 ng/dL are reached without excess. Dose adjustments or changing modalities helps optimize treatment.
Like any medication, testosterone therapy comes with potential side effects worth discussing. We monitor for fluid retention, enlarged prostate, heart disease biomarkers and red blood cell count changes.
However, evidence increasingly shows testosterone replacement provides substantial benefits for hypogonadal men with few risks when properly administered. Balanced Hormone Clinic specializes in maximizing these benefits long-term while enhancing vitality.
Thyroid disorders create symptoms like stubborn weight gain, fatigue, low mood and hair thinning. Balanced Hormone Clinic optimizes thyroid function through testing, hormonal supplementation and supporting lifestyle changes:
Basic screening includes cholesterol ratio, basal body temperature and symptoms screening. Definitive assessments measure TSH and free T4/ T3 hormone levels, along with thyroid antibodies.
Supplementing the T4 thyroid hormone is standard for hypothyroid patients. We prescribe bioidentical T4 tablets like Tirosint to normalize metabolism, cognition, weight management and hair growth.
Some patients remain symptomatic on T4 alone since their bodies cannot convert it into the active T3 form. Combination T4 T3 therapy further improves mood, energy, body composition and digestion.
Balanced Hormone Clinic also counsels patients on nutritional approaches to reduce inflammation and autoimmunity while supporting thyroid function through trace minerals, healthy fats and gentle movement.
Thyroid issues often go undetected or ignored due to nonspecific symptoms. We dig deeper to uncover dysfunction and craft custom regimens restoring thyroid health. Patients find increased energy, clearer thinking and sustainable weight control.
Estrogen levels profoundly impact women’s health given receptors found throughout the body in organs, bone, blood vessels and the brain. Declining estrogen during the menopause transition causes disruptive symptoms. Balancing levels treats:
Estrogen therapy alongside natural progesterone alleviates hot flashes/night sweats, sleep disruption, vaginal dryness and bladder issues that derail wellbeing.
Estrogen supports healthier blood flow, cholesterol balance and vessel flexibility to reduce cardiovascular risks. It also optimizes cognition, memory, focus and mood while preventing risks of dementia long-term.
Estrogen signals our bodies to absorb more bone-building calcium and collagen while reducing bone breakdown. Maintaining strong, resilient bones prevents osteoporosis and fractures.
Estrogen interplays with adrenal hormones to keep cortisol levels in check. This sustains more consistent blood sugar and crashes less often, stabilizing energy, calming inflammation and boosting drive.
Bioidentical estrogen replacement paired with lifestyle optimization empowers women to feel their best throughout all life stages. Balanced Hormone Clinic specializes in supporting smooth menopause transitions and renewed vitality.
While optimizing lab levels is pivotal, certain lifestyle factors also support hormone health:
High psychological stress chronically elevates cortisol while reducing testosterone, thyroid hormones and growth hormone. We teach patients valuable stress relief techniques.
Regular exercise, especially lifting weights, powerfully boosts testosterone and growth hormone levels while improving insulin sensitivity. We provide customized fitness guidance.
Getting sufficient deep sleep normalizes cortisol rhythms and allows key restorative hormones like growth hormone and melatonin to rise overnight. We offer sleep hygiene advice.
Following an anti-inflammatory, Mediterranean-style diet abundant in produce, healthy fats and clean proteins while avoiding processed foods helps balance metabolic hormones like insulin and leptin.
Adopting healthier daily lifestyle habits complements hormone therapy for amplified, lasting benefits. Balanced Hormone Clinic guides patients through sustainable changes ensuring success.
