Hormone Balancing Therapy
What is Hormone Balancing?
Hormone balancing, also known as hormone optimization or hormone therapy, is the process of restoring or maintaining the proper balance of hormones in the body. Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate various functions in the body, such as metabolism, growth, mood, reproduction, and more. When hormone levels are either too high or too low, it can lead to a variety of health issues and symptoms. By integrating diagnostic testing with customized functional medicine programs, we offer our clients a holistic path to defying age.
This commitment to personalized care and cutting-edge treatments has established Lifestyle Medicine as a leader in the hormone balancing industry, setting new standards for health and wellness in Miami Beach and beyond since 2010.
Why do I need Hormone Balancing?
The process begins with complete blood testing to see exactly who you are bio- physically. What does that mean? Hormones impact your growth and development, control your mood, determine how you’ll handle stress, influence how the body breaks down food and how fast you age.That’s the reason why Hormone testing is SO IMPORTANT. It’s the best and only way to determine if your lifestyle is affecting your health. We can find the root cause of physical ailments and identify potential problems in the earliest stages.
Who is a candidate for Hormone Balancing?
Any person suffering symptoms ranging from any kind of pain, low energy, brain fog, weight gain, irregular periods, low sexual desire, anxiety, depression or simply feeling that something it's not right without a clear explanation, means it's time to take it seriously and get a full hormone panel.
What to expect from my treatment?
After diagnostic test results are obtained, an in depth consultation will take place that covers the results, past medical history and current goals. A two month program will be initiated with the expectation of the entire treatment process lasting 6-8 months in total. This time frame is to ensure your body has been given adequate time to heal and learn how to operate at its maximum abilities naturally without the need of medications.
Patients should anticipate improvements in everything from better sleep and sex to improved skin elasticity, optimized physiques, and augmented brain functioning.
