Hormones regulate nearly every function in the human body. When levels of key hormones fall out of optimal range, you may experience low energy, poor sleep, weight gain, loss of strength and stamina, reduced libido, and other unpleasant symptoms. Getting a blood test to check your hormone levels can identify any imbalances. Often, restoring balance through hormone therapy leads to renewed health, vitality and quality of life.
Many people may benefit from having their hormone levels checked, including:
As we age, hormone production can slow down, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Blood testing identifies any deficiencies early so treatment can begin promptly. This helps you continue feeling your best regardless of age.
Certain symptoms like low libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, mood issues, and unexplained weight gain may signal a hormonal imbalance. Testing pinpoints which hormones are out of optimal range so customized treatment plans can be created.
Imbalanced testosterone or estrogen levels can negatively impact heart health, bone density, muscle mass, and other areas over time. Testing allows therapists to help patients prevent these long term effects through timely treatment.
Optimal hormone levels support energy, endurance, strength gains and injury resilience. Athletes use testing to ensure hormones are balanced for peak performance without unsafe supplementation.
The endocrine system produces over 50 different hormones. At HormoVital, we strategically test the key hormones most likely causing bothersome symptoms. This allows therapists to create tailored plans that efficiently restore balance from the inside out. Hormones evaluated include:
Known as the “vitality hormone”, optimal testosterone promotes energy, sex drive, lean muscle mass, strength, mood and cognition. Low levels contribute to unpleasant effects like fatigue, erectile dysfunction, reduced stamina and more.
Estrogen levels impact body fat distribution, skin health, mood stability in women, and protect cardiovascular function. High or low levels increase unpleasant symptoms and health risks.
Thyroid hormone regulates body temperature, weight management, energy levels, appetite and more. Imbalanced thyroid levels lead to fatigue, stubborn weight, constipation/diarrhea and temperature sensitivity.
DHEA supports immune function, aids lean muscle growth, promotes skin and joint health. Declining DHEA levels may cause fatigue, mood instability, low libido and impaired immunity.
Getting your hormone levels tested offers many advantages:
Self-evaluating symptoms leaves guesswork. Lab testing provides objective data for developing customized treatment plans targeting root causes.
Since hormones fluctuate, levels may fall in suboptimal zones before severe symptoms appear. Testing identifies imbalances early so prompt adjustment prevents progression.
Balancing key hormones curbs symptoms like low energy, poor sleep and reduced libido that impair daily function and enjoyment of life. Testing paves the way for positive changes.
Imbalanced hormones negatively impact many aspects of health over time - cardiovascular, mental, metabolic, sexual and more. Testing helps prevent cumulative damage from hormonal dysfunction.
Chronically imbalanced hormones increase risks for certain cancers, infertility, obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis and mood disorders. Testing allows timely interventions, reducing susceptibilities.
Hormonal testing can reveal important health insights even for those without clear symptoms. For example, testing testosterone in aging men can uncover declining levels years before obvious signs appear, allowing early treatment to help maintain strength, energy and mental sharpness.
If testing reveals hormonal imbalances, customized treatment plans can efficiently restore optimal balance. Therapies aim to curb symptoms using natural options whenever possible.
