Fatigue, depression, hot flashes, and sexual dysfunction can all signal hormone deficiencies. Imbalances manifest differently in each individual but often radically impact quality of life. Prompt diagnosis and treatment can alleviate debilitating symptoms.
A specialized endocrinologist can order tests to check ovarian reserve, testosterone levels, and more. Getting tested yearly, especially during perimenopause and menopause, enables timely intervention.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy utilizes plant-based hormones identical to those the human body produces to supplement deficiencies. Muriel Larauche, board-certified bioidentical hormone specialist at our North Plainfield clinic New Beginnings HRT Clinic, customizes treatment to suit each patient’s unique needs.
Symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, and insomnia often disappear after beginning therapy. Patients report feeling more energetic, mentally sharp, and emotionally balanced.
Estrogen deficiency contributes heavily to cardiovascular issues while testosterone boosts libido and energy. Balancing hormones isn’t just about feeling better day-to-day - it could add years to your life!
We first test hormone levels through bloodwork or saliva samples to gain insight into deficiencies. After assessing results, Dr. Larauche prescribes plant-derived bioidentical estrogen, testosterone, or progesterone tailored to the patient’s physiology and needs.
The medications come in creams, patches, pellets, gels, and oral capsules. We teach patients how to properly administer their prescribed regimens, then follow up periodically to check lab work and adjust dosages accordingly.
Most feel drastic improvements soon after beginning therapy. That said, balancing hormones takes time and discipline. We monitor patients closely and tweak plans when necessary until their bodies adapt.
Crafting an individualized hormone protocol requires specialist expertise. That’s why New Beginnings HRT Clinic partners each patient with a dedicated care team.
Our physicians first order labs to analyze hormonal balance and address nutritional deficiencies. They then work diligently to formulate a treatment plan aligned with the patient’s health history, age, symptoms, and lifestyle.
We prescribe the lowest effective doses and continually adjust until finding an optimal balance. Patients then follow their personalized protocols until their bodies acclimate, a process lasting around five months on average.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Large, long-term studies are still needed to fully understand the risks and benefits of bioidentical estrogen and progesterone compared to conventional hormone therapy.
Left untreated, hormonal imbalances spur cascading negative health effects. Deficient hormones slow metabolism, inhibit cognition, reduce bone density, decrease muscle mass, and impede sexual function.
Patients often struggle through worsening menopausal symptoms and age-related declines for years before seeking help. By then, they experience plummeted vitality and increased risks of osteoporosis, heart disease, and diabetes.
In contrast, those starting therapy promptly upon onset of deficiency symptoms cultivate longevity through strengthening metabolic processes, brain connectivity, and emotional resilience. They also avoid deterioration of wellbeing that untreated patients suffer.
New Beginnings HRT Clinic strives to educate on recognizing deficiency signals, empowering patients to take control of health outcomes. We also offer exceptional responsiveness - new patients gain plan initiation within two weeks of first appointment!
Bioidentical hormones serve as the cornerstones of revitalized wellness, and lifestyle modifications maximize their effectiveness. We counsel patients on dietary, exercise, sleep, and stress adapting strategies promoting therapy success.
Nutrient-dense whole foods, particularly those containing phytoestrogens, bolster hormonal balance. Low-intensity workouts enhance metabolic processes while also lowering mental anxiety. Adequate high-quality sleep optimizes cognitive sharpness and emotional regulation. Finally, activities like yoga, meditation, or journaling curb harmful stress.
New Beginnings HRT Clinic also connects clients with specialized practitioners like nutritionists, trainers, and therapists to actualize total body/mind enrichment. Our locale offers abundant resources - we happily provide referrals!
