Hormone therapy Victorville, CA - Elite Hormone Therapy

Introduction to Hormone Therapy

Hormone therapy involves using medications containing hormones to supplement low hormone levels in the body. It can provide relief from unpleasant symptoms of hormone deficiency and also reduce the risk of developing certain diseases later on.

At Elite Hormone Therapy in Victorville, our experienced medical team provides customized hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to help patients regain optimal hormone balance. We offer high quality care in a comfortable setting right here in Victorville.

Below is some key information about common types of hormone therapy that we provide:

Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) involves taking testosterone medication to treat low testosterone or "low T". Some signs and symptoms include:

Benefits of TRT include improved sexual function, increased energy/stamina, better mood and cognitive function, reduced fat and increased muscle mass, stronger bones, faster metabolism and potential anti-aging effects.

We provide TRT in various personalized forms - injections, gels, pellets or patches based on patient needs and preferences.

Our services

Estrogen Hormone Therapy

Declining estrogen levels can cause unpleasant menopause symptoms in middle aged women like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, sleep disruption and accelerated bone loss/osteoporosis risk.

Estrogen therapy eases these symptoms and provides cardiovascular and bone protection. Treatment options include oral tablets, skin patches, vaginal creams/tablets and pellet implants. We offer bioidentical hormones which closely match natural estrogens produced in the body.

Thyroid Hormone Therapy

Patients experiencing hypothyroidism have an underactive thyroid gland that doesn't produce enough thyroid hormone. Symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, feeling cold, constipation, dry skin and hair loss.

Taking oral thyroid hormone medication can effectively treat hypothyroidism, relieve symptoms and prevent complications like heart disease. We provide thyroid blood tests and prescribe optimal dosages tailored to each patient's needs.

Growth Hormone Therapy

Natural growth hormone production plummets as we get older. Symptoms of growth hormone deficiency include decreased muscle and bone mass, increased body fat, lack of energy, thinning skin and hair loss.

Growth hormone injections can reverse many effects of aging by building muscle, burning fat, strengthening bones, enhancing mood and improving skin thickness. We help patients determine if they are candidates for growth hormone based on medical history and blood tests.

Other Hormone Therapies

We also offer treatment solutions for other hormone disorders like progesterone deficiency, DHEA deficiency, high cortisol and more. Ourgoal is to identify underlying issues through testing and then create fully personalized, precision treatment plans to restore optimal balance.

Importance of Prompt Diagnosis and Treatment

The key thing to understand about hormone imbalances is that symptoms often worsen over time if left untreated, potentially leading to serious medical complications down the road.

Therefore, if you are experiencing any troubling signs/symptoms possibly related to hormones, we strongly recommend coming in to Elite Hormone Therapy for evaluation and testing as soon as possible.

The sooner an underlying issue gets properly diagnosed, the faster we can halt progression of symptoms and begin tailored treatment to help you start feeling normal and healthy again.

Don’t wait until frustrating symptoms erode your quality of life further. Take action now to identify root causes, find solutions, and optimize wellness going forward. We are here to help!

What to Expect at Your First Hormone Therapy Appointment

If you decide to become a hormone therapy patient at Elite Hormone Therapy, here is a general overview of what you can expect at your initial visit:

Confidential Patient History

We’ll have an in-depth discussion about your health background including:

Physical Exam

We’ll do a basic physical checking vital signs, height/weight, looking for any unusual clinical signs related to hormones and assessing overall health.

Blood Testing

We’ll draw several vials of blood to screen hormone levels and identify any nutritional deficiencies relevant for treatment planning.

Review Results

When lab results are back, we’ll thoroughly review them together to interpret what’s going on in your body and make informed decisions about appropriate therapies.

Prescribe Treatment

If hormone therapy is advised, we will prescribe you customized medications, provide instructions for proper use, schedule follow-ups, answer all questions and support you each step of the way!

Our streamlined process makes it efficient to go from concerning symptoms to having an effective treatment plan dialed-in.

Interesting fact

Estrogen therapy has been shown to improve verbal memory and vigilance attention in postmenopausal women. This cognitive benefit was unexpected as estrogen was previously mainly researched for its effects on vasomotor symptoms rather than brain function.

Hormone Testing Prior to Starting Therapy

Before hormone medications can be prescribed, it’s critical to first establish baseline hormone levels through blood testing.

This gives us objective data to determine if/where any deficiencies exist so we can select and dose appropriate treatment very precisely.

At Elite Hormone Therapy, we have an on-site lab for fast and convenient hormone testing.

What exactly do we test?

Standard panels check levels of key hormones like:

Plus we screen nutritional markers like vitamin D, B12, etc. that can impact hormone health.

Testing is quick and easy - just a simple blood draw that we can perform right in our office. Results are generally available within 1-3 days.

Once your personalized hormone panel is complete, we’ll have all the necessary data to create an optimal treatment plan for your needs!

Elite Hormone Therapy TRT Therapy Overview

As mentioned earlier, one of our most common hormone therapies is testosterone replacement (TRT) for patients experiencing low testosterone (low T).

Let’s overview the general process for starting TRT therapy at our Victorville clinic:

Step 1 - Symptom Evaluation

In your initial patient history, we’ll ask about common low T signs like low libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, decreased muscle mass, mood issues etc. This helps us determine likelihood of deficiency.

Step 2 - Physical Assessment

We physically examine your body for clinical manifestations of low T like loss of body hair, gynecomastia, small testicular size etc.

Step 3 - Testosterone Blood Testing

We test total testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG and other relevant hormone/nutrient markers using blood samples drawn in-office.

Step 4 - Review Results

If blood tests show clinically low testosterone, we’ll thoroughly discuss treatment options and make a plan tailored to your lifestyle, preferences and health goals.

Step 5 - Start TRT Therapy

Finally, we’ll prescribe you customized testosterone therapy based on what your body needs via injections, gels, pellets or other optimal methods for you.

That wraps up a simplified overview of starting the TRT process with us. We’re happy to answer any additional questions!

Lifestyle Recommendations for Best Therapy Results

While hormone medications can work wonders, certain lifestyle factors also significantly impact your overall wellness and success with treatment.

Here are some tips that we recommend to Elite Hormone Therapy patients for better therapy results:

Nutritious Anti-Inflammatory Diet

Eat more fresh fruits/veggies, healthy fats, lean proteins. Avoid excess sugar, refined carbs and processed foods. Taking targeted supplements helps too. Reducing inflammation is key for optimal hormone function!

Regular Exercise

Aim for 150 minutes per week of moderate activity like walking, cycling or strength training which stimulates hormone production and offsets age-related decline. We can suggest personalized plans.

Stress Management

Chronic stress raises cortisol which can disrupt other hormones. Practice relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation, deep breathing etc. Improve sleep quality which enables hormone regulation.

Limit Alcohol/Drugs

Heavy alcohol consumption and recreational drugs impair hormone balance and sabotage health. We can provide support if you want help cutting back.

By adopting some of these evidence-based lifestyle strategies under guidance from your Elite Hormone Therapy doctor, you can enhance hormone therapy effectiveness and amplify benefits! We look forward to working together.
