Hormone therapy provided by The Hormone Hub can help improve quality of life for many Meridian residents. As we age, hormone levels naturally decline, leading to symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, decreased libido, muscle loss, weight gain, fatigue, mood changes, and difficulty sleeping.
There are many potential benefits of hormone therapy:
The first step is to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced hormone therapy doctors at The Hormone Hub. We will ask about your symptoms, medical history, and goals.
We will then order blood tests to measure your hormone levels. This allows us to determine exactly which hormones need to be replaced. Common lab tests include:
Once results are back, your doctor will design a customized hormone treatment plan. This includes selecting appropriate bioidentical hormones, doses, and routes of administration like oral capsules, creams, patches, pellets, or injections.
Follow-up visits and lab testing are done periodically to ensure optimal hormone levels are achieved and maintained. Most patients start feeling better within a few weeks!
Meridian's mild winters and sunny climate make it a great place to optimize your hormone health all year round. Engaging in outdoor activities like hiking, biking, tennis, and swimming during hormone therapy can improve mood and help manage weight. Be sure to stay hydrated and use sun protection when spending time outside. Some of our favorite local spots include Eagle Island State Park, Rhodes Skate Park, and the Meridian Greenbelt. The Meridian Farmers Market is a wonderful place to pick up fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables to support a balanced diet during treatment. Healthy cafes in town like The Hangout and Flip Side offer nutritious meals to-go. Getting good sleep is also key. Meridian has several relaxing spas like Serenity Spa and Urban Float to promote restful sleep.
Hormone therapy has been shown to improve quality of life and reduce depression in transgender individuals. Studies found that allowing transgender youth to delay puberty with hormone blockers until they were older reduced rates of suicidal ideation and improved mental health outcomes. Though controversial, evidence suggests hormone therapy can greatly benefit transgender patients.
Hormone imbalance can significantly reduce quality of life. The experienced doctors at The Hormone Hub provide customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to help patients feel their best again. If you're experiencing symptoms of hormone decline, we encourage you to schedule a consultation to determine if treatment is right for you. With an individualized plan, most patients quickly start experiencing relief from symptoms and improved wellbeing.
