Hormone therapy Pocatello, ID - Hormone Harmony

What is Hormone Therapy?

Hormone therapy corrects hormone imbalances that occur naturally with age or due to medical conditions. The most common hormones we treat include:

• Testosterone - Boosts sex drive, energy, muscle mass in men
• Estrogen - Regulates menstrual cycle, skin elasticity in women
• Progesterone - Balances estrogen, improves sleep and mood in women
• Thyroid - Regulates metabolism, weight, energy

At Hormone Harmony, we offer bioidentical hormone therapy using hormones identical to those your body produces naturally. This allows precise balancing of your hormone levels.

Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidenticals come with fewer side effects. We can customize treatment based on your lab tests and symptoms.

Hormone Therapies We Offer

Some of the hormone therapies we commonly prescribe include:

Testosterone Replacement Therapy for Men

Male hormone replacement therapy corrects low testosterone levels causing low energy, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, mood issues, and sexual problems.

Testosterone is administered by injection, gel, or pellets inserted under the skin every few months. Most men start noticing positive effects on libido, energy, endurance, and body composition within a few weeks.

Estrogen and Progesterone for Women

Balancing a woman's reproductive hormones alleviates symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, anxiety, and sleep disruption.

Estrogen and progesterone therapy come in pills, patches, gels, sprays, or pellets. Women transitioning through perimenopause or menopause benefit most. However, hormonal issues can occur at any age.

Thyroid Hormone Replacement

A sluggish thyroid leads to stubborn weight gain, constant exhaustion, chills, and mood instability. Thyroid hormone replacement restores metabolism and energy levels.

Thyroid hormone comes in tablet form, taken daily upon rising. Periodic blood tests ensure proper dosing for your body. Most patients feel noticeable relief of hypothyroid symptoms within 6-8 weeks.

Ideal Time for Hormone Therapy

Pocatello's high elevation and extreme seasonal weather can exacerbate hormone deficiency symptoms. For this reason, hormone balancing is ideal during:

• Winter - The long nights and lack of sun in winter lower vitamin D, serotonin, and melatonin. This leads to seasonal affective disorder (SAD) with increased fatigue, melancholy moods, and carb cravings. Hormone therapy in winter stabilizes energy, mood, and weight.
• Fall - With nightfall coming earlier in fall, mood disorders and insomnia flare up. Treating hormone imbalances prevents their worsening during these months.
• Spring - When days start getting longer in spring, many experience renewed energy and motivation naturally. This momentum makes spring a great time to initiate hormone therapy for more vibrancy.
• Summer - Long sunny days and moderate temperatures prime your body and mind for optimal wellbeing. Stable hormone levels allow you to make the most of summer activities and fun.

While any season works for beginning therapy, avoid starting during major life stressors. Give your body time to adjust to hormonal changes without extra pressures.

Our staff can advise the ideal timing for you based on your lifestyle, goals, and hormone test results.
