Hormone therapy Westport, CT

What is Hormone Therapy?

Hormone therapy involves restoring optimal hormone levels in the body through medications and lifestyle changes. As we age, hormone levels naturally decline, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Hormone therapy can help patients regain energy, vitality, and an overall sense of wellbeing.

At The Hormone Hub, we offer cutting-edge bioidentical hormone therapy tailored to each patient's unique needs. Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones produced naturally in the human body. They are carefully compounded in our on-site pharmacy using plant-based hormones, providing the closest match possible to what your body produces.

Who Can Benefit from Hormone Therapy?

Both men and women can benefit from hormone replacement therapy at various stages of life. Some common candidates include:

The Hormone Hub Personalized Approach

At The Hormone Hub, we do not take a one-size-fits-all approach. Our physicians, nurse practitioners, and hrt therapists take the time to understand your unique health history and symptoms.

We offer comprehensive hormone testing to get an accurate picture of any imbalances. Based on the test results and your goals, we develop a customized hormone replacement plan.

Hormone Therapies Offered

The Hormone Hub offers cutting-edge bioidentical hormone therapy options to suit each patient's needs:

Testosterone Therapy for Men

Testosterone is essential for men's health. When levels drop, men may experience low energy, reduced muscle mass, increased body fat, poor concentration, irritability, low libido, erectile dysfunction, and reduced quality of life.

Our providers offer comprehensive men's hormone therapy including testosterone replacement through gels, injections, pellets, and other delivery methods. We also address lifestyle factors impacting hormones like diet, exercise, stress, and sleep.

With treatment, most men enjoy restored energy levels, improved strength and endurance, better mood and cognitive function, increased libido, reduced risk of chronic disease, and an overall improved quality of life.

Estrogen and Progesterone Therapy for Women

Estrogen and progesterone play critical roles in women's health. Imbalances can lead to unpleasant menopausal symptoms along with increased risks for osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes, and dementia.

Our clinic offers bioidentical estrogen and natural progesterone tailored to your needs and goals. This can effectively relieve hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, sleep disruption, and other symptoms while protecting long-term health.

We also address factors like nutrition, movement, stress reduction, and sleep quality to support hormone balance during perimenopause and beyond.

Thyroid Hormone Therapy

The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism. An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) causes fatigue, weight gain, low mood, dry skin, intolerance to cold, constipation, and more.

Through comprehensive testing, our providers identify any thyroid hormone deficiencies. We offer thyroid replacement including synthetic T4 alone or natural thyroid combing T4 and T3. This relieves symptoms and helps patients lose weight, improve energy, support heart health, and avoid complications.

Other Hormone Therapies

In addition to sex hormones and thyroid hormones, The Hormone Hub also addresses imbalances in hormones produced by the adrenal glands, pancreas, and pituitary gland. Therapies can include DHEA, melatonin, human growth hormone, and others based on your needs.

We also help patients address lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management to support healthy hormone balance. Our goal is to help you look and feel your best while optimizing wellbeing.

Interesting fact

Hormone therapy can have some surprising benefits beyond the commonly known physical changes. Studies show it may improve mental health by reducing anxiety and depression. This is likely due to hormones bringing people's physical presentation more in line with their gender identity, resulting in greater comfort and confidence.
