Understanding Sexual Wellness and Hormone Therapy

Sexual wellness encompasses physical, mental, and emotional health related to sexuality and sexual function. As we age or experience health issues, hormone levels can become imbalanced, leading to decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, and other symptoms that impair sexual wellness.

Hormone replacement therapy from a qualified hormone clinic can safely and effectively correct hormone deficiencies. Treatment plans are customized after comprehensive lab testing and evaluation by specialists. Options include injections, gels, pellets, patches, and oral medications to restore testosterone, human growth hormone, thyroid, and other hormones to optimal levels.

Benefits of hormone balancing include:

• Increased sex drive and sexual function
• More energy, endurance, and stamina
• Decreased body fat and increased lean muscle mass
• Better mood, cognitive function, and sleep quality
• Slowed aging and higher disease resistance
• Improved work performance and personal relationships

While results vary, most individuals enjoy significant gains in vitality, virility, and overall well-being. Maintenance therapy sustains long-term hormone balance.

Diagnosing Hormone Imbalances

The first step is accurate testing since low testosterone and thyroid levels mimic other conditions. Recommended labs include:

Testosterone Tests	Thyroid Tests	Other Hormone Tests
Total and free testosterone	TSH, free T3, free T4	IGF-1 (growth factor)
Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG)	Reverse T3	DHEA-S (adrenal hormone)
Estradiol	Thyroid antibodies	Vitamin D
LH and FSH		Blood panels (cardiovascular, kidney, liver)

Tracking symptoms like low libido, erectile dysfunction, and unexplained fatigue along with comprehensive lab testing allows physicians to uncover problematic hormone imbalances missed by conventional screenings.

If low levels are reducing day-to-day health and enjoyment of life, balancing may help significantly. Rebalance Clinic tailors treatment plans to the unique hormone profile and needs of each patient after high-quality testing.

Dangers of Low Testosterone

Testosterone deficiency, also called hypogonadism or "low T," develops gradually, causing vague symptoms often chalked up to normal aging or stress. However, prolonged low testosterone levels pose serious risks:

Immediate Effects: - Loss of libido and sexual function - Low energy, fatigue, weakness - Weight gain - Increased body fat, decreased muscle - Cognitive dysfunction - Poor memory and concentration - Depression, irritability, agitation - Insomnia and sleep disturbances

Long-Term Dangers: - Cardiovascular disease - Metabolic syndrome - Diabetes, high blood pressure, belly fat - Osteoporosis – Bone loss and fracture risk - Frailty leading to falls and disability - Earlier death

Restoring testosterone to healthy ranges reduces these dangers and alleviates uncomfortable symptoms that impair overall well-being.

Rebalance Clinic specializes in detecting and treating low testosterone along with customized balancing of other key hormones.

Who Needs Testosterone Therapy?

Testosterone levels peak during adolescence and early adulthood, then slowly decline at about 1% per year after age 30-40. Deficiency has been defined as total testosterone below 300 ng/dL with symptoms.

However, many individuals have low-normal or midrange testosterone between 300-500 ng/dL yet still experience symptoms due to factors like gene polymorphisms, high sex hormone-binding globulin, hormone-disrupting stress, medications, or undiagnosed pituitary dysfunction.

Thus, treatment aims for optimal, not just average testosterone based on symptoms and overall presentation. Rebalance Clinic helps patients achieve their best possible hormonal balance.

Ideally, testosterone optimization begins in one's 40s-50s before advanced deficiency develops. Sustaining midlife levels can promote lifelong health.

In general, consider treatment if experiencing:

• Loss of libido, sexual function
• Lack of energy, endurance, ability to handle stress
• Weight gain - Increased body fat, decreased lean mass
• Poor cognition, memory, concentration, focus
• Depression, anxiety, emotional swings
• Sleep disturbances - Insomnia or not feeling rested
• Other unexplained signs like hair loss and skin changes

Symptom checklists help assess the need for balancing.

Rebalance Clinic treats individuals at any age with low testosterone or related symptoms that impair quality of life.

• Injections: Testosterone cypionate, enanthate, or propionate given 1-2 times per week
• Gels: Topical DHT-derived testosterone gels like AndroGel, Testim, Axiron, or Fortesta applied daily
• Pellets: Crystallized testosterone inserted under the skin lasting 4-6 months

With an array of options available, Rebalance Clinic helps patients select the optimal form, dose, and regimen tailored for treatment goals, needs, and preferences. Follow-up testing verifies hormone levels are restored to most favorable ranges for each unique patient.

Complementary Nutrients and Lifestyle Optimization

While vital for deficient individuals, testosterone therapy works best alongside nutrition, exercise, stress reduction, and other positive lifestyle measures:

Key Supplements: - Zinc and Magnesium - Vitamin D3 - Ashwagandha, Tribulus - Pregnenolone - DHEA (if adrenal imbalance present) - Boron

Necessary Lifestyle Changes: - Regular intense exercise (lifting and cardio) - Stress moderation - High protein, nutritious whole foods diet - Good sleep hygiene - Possible medication adjustment
