Hormone therapy is a treatment that supplements hormones when your body is not making enough on its own. As we age, hormone levels naturally decline, leading to symptoms like low energy, trouble sleeping, weight gain, and reduced sex drive. Hormone therapy can help restore optimal levels of key hormones, improving vitality and quality of life.
At Rejuvenate Hormone Clinic in Ontario, we offer customized hormone therapy programs to help you feel your best. Our board-certified physicians and nurse practitioners specialize in hormone replacement, using cutting-edge testing and treatment methods. We craft unique regimens to meet your needs, with ongoing monitoring and adjustment.
In this guide, we'll explain everything you need to know about hormone therapy and how it can reinvigorate your health. Read on to learn the benefits, whether you're a candidate, what to expect during treatment, and more.
Hormone therapy may be recommended if blood tests confirm a hormone deficiency. This often occurs naturally with age due to changes in the endocrine system. Both men and women over 30 can develop hormonal imbalances leading to undesirable symptoms.
Some signs you may be a candidate for hormone replacement therapy:
Hormone therapy can also benefit those with chronic conditions like osteoporosis, heart disease, and diabetes by optimizing hormonal balance.
Healthy lifestyle habits remain important during treatment, including regular exercise, stress management, proper nutrition, and adequate sleep. Our physicians will work with you to develop a comprehensive plan for feeling your best.
Restoring youthful hormonal levels offers a wide range of potential benefits:
Most patients notice a difference within the first few weeks. Results continue improving over 3-6 months as hormones regulate. With proper treatment, the benefits of hormone therapy can continue for years.
Our hormone therapy programs are fully customized to your needs and preferences. Here is a look at what to expect:
Our intake process begins with an extensive consultation covering health history, symptoms, and goals. Any underlying conditions are addressed. Blood tests and possibly imaging exams will check current hormone levels.
Based on test results and discussion, our practitioners will design a personalized treatment regimen. This specifies adjusted hormone doses and delivery methods. Most patients start with testosterone, estrogen, or both. Additional hormones like thyroid, DHEA, HCG, or growth hormone may be prescribed.
Patients return initially after 2-4 weeks for re-testing and dosage adjustments if needed. We carefully track progress with regular blood work and exams according to your protocol. The schedule is tailored to your individual needs.
Our team provides nutritional and exercise counseling to complement treatment. We can also address stress management, sleep hygiene, and other wellness issues that influence hormone health.
With our comprehensive approach, most patients report major improvements by 6 months, with benefits continuing in subsequent years. We partner closely each step of the way to ensure your satisfaction.
Hormone therapy has been used for over 70 years to help treat diseases like prostate cancer and breast cancer. While the risks and benefits are still being studied, research shows hormone therapy can help improve quality of life and delay disease progression when used appropriately under medical supervision. The field continues to advance as doctors learn how to maximize benefits and minimize side effects.

The first step is thorough testing to identify any hormone deficiencies behind your symptoms. Based on the results, your practitioner will design a customized treatment plan.
Though programs are individualized, here is an overview of common hormone therapy protocols:
Testosterone therapy is prescribed for most male patients with low lab results. It is available in different forms:
If indicated, we may also supplement with HCG to stimulate natural testosterone production plus sustain fertility. Anastrozole or similar medications can prevent excess estrogen conversion.
Female hormone therapy typically starts with estrogen and progesterone replacement:
We may also prescribe testosterone or DHEA to correct identified deficits. Thyroid hormone is added if thyroid blood tests warrant.
These basics can be combined in many different protocols to match your physiology. Follow-up testing determines further adjustments to ensure optimal balance.
We also offer counsel on managing menopause symptoms like hot flashes. Contact us to learn more about custom women's hormone therapy.
