Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) involves using hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced in the human body to supplement declining hormone levels. As we age or due to medical conditions, our hormone levels can become imbalanced, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Getting hormone levels tested and beginning customized BHRT under the supervision of a knowledgeable healthcare professional can help patients feel their best.
The practitioners at Harmony Hormone Center specialize in hormone therapy and balance. We offer cutting edge testing and both male hormone therapy and women’s hormone therapy options to help patients optimize their health and quality of life.
Imbalanced hormone levels can negatively impact energy, sleep, sexual function, mental health and more. Hormone deficiency often has gradual onset of nonspecific symptoms including:
Catching and correcting hormone imbalances early provides the best results. Our experienced practitioners at Harmony Hormone Center can order the appropriate lab tests and analyze results to determine which hormones need balancing.
The right BHRT regimen customized for each patient’s needs can help patients feel healthier and more vibrant. Those undergoing treatment often report benefits such as:
Finding an optimal hormone balance enhances health both physically and mentally. The skilled providers at Harmony Hormone Center develop personalized plans to help patients look and feel their best long-term.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is commonly used for men experiencing low testosterone (low T). Testosterone plays many crucial roles related to physical health, sexual function, energy, mood and cognition. When levels become deficient, TRT can provide transformative benefits.
The expert clinicians at Harmony Hormone Center offer cutting edge Low T treatment options tailored to each patient’s physiology and needs. We provide both short and long acting TRT therapy methods to give men enduring vitality, wellness and performance.
Many men start experiencing declining testosterone in their 30s and 40s. Low T symptoms seem vague initially but become more bothersome over time. Symptoms signaling deficient testosterone may include:
Testosterone levels fluctuate daily. Getting tested requires analyzing more than a single blood draw to accurately diagnose deficiency. Harmony Hormone Center offers state-of-the-art testosterone blood spot testing for comprehensive results. We require multiple samples collected at specific times over a two week period. This superior testing methodology helps ensure TRT is only advised for patients with legitimately low testosterone.
Once low T has been confirmed with blood spot analysis, our experts walk patients through all aspects of beginning TRT. We start by choosing an optimal delivery method customized for each man’s lifestyle and preferences.
Patients then get training on proper handling and self administration of their prescribed testosterone therapy. For those using gels or patches, we provide detailed instructions on application rotation sites and schedules. Patients selecting long acting injection options are taught safe intramuscular injection methods they can perform themselves at home.
We schedule patients for follow up blood spot testing at intervals after initiating TRT. Testosterone levels get monitored throughout therapy with dosage adjustments as needed. Most men begin noticing positive effects within the first month with gradual improvements over three to six months.
In addition to TRT, we offer supplemental medications and therapies to maximize benefits. These include human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), estrogen modulators, DHEA, weight management assistance, erectile dysfunction treatments and more. Our goal is empowering men to take charge of their vitality and performance long-term through TRT monitoring and support from our caring staff.

The pellets dissolve slowly, steadily releasing bioidentical hormones matching the body’s natural chemistry. Most patients only need pellets replaced every 4-6 months.

Studies show that for many, this medical intervention reduces gender dysphoria and improves quality of life.

Hormone blood, saliva or urine testing provides clinical data revealing risk for hormone deficiency long before severe symptoms arise. Getting properly tested gives objective insights indicating when treatment becomes appropriate.
However, testing only gives beneficial guidance under a qualified practitioner’s supervision. Harmony Hormone Centerians specialize in the intricacies of hormone lab analysis, including:
We provide state-of-the-art hormone testing patients can rely on. However, high quality lab work means little without the expertise to interpret it properly! Our practitioners make recommendations grounded in each patient’s unique physiology and lifestyle needs for personalized care.
The adrenal glands produce crucial hormones influencing how the body manages stress adaptation, immune function, inflammation, energy levels, mood and more. Adrenal gland activity gets regulated partially by signals from other hormone glands. Imbalances anywhere within the interconnected “hormonal symphony” therefore increase risks for compromised adrenal function known as adrenal fatigue.
Common causes of adrenal fatigue include:
Patients beginning hormone therapy sometimes experience increased adrenal workload attempting to adapt to changing hormone levels. Harmony Hormone Centerians carefully monitor adrenal status in patients before and during treatment. We provide nutraceutical and lifestyle supports minimizing fatigue risks, including:
Proactively supporting adrenal health leads to the best patient experience undergoing hormone therapy. Our staff offers continuing guidance on maintaining optimal energy, immunity and resilience while correcting hormone deficiencies long-term.
