Hormone therapy involves supplementing hormones that are low or lacking in the body. At New Beginnings HRT Clinic in Radford, we offer cutting-edge hormone treatments to help patients regain optimal hormonal balance.
When hormones fall out of balance, patients can experience debilitating symptoms that negatively impact quality of life. Getting hormone levels tested and initiating hormone replacement therapy (HRT) allows patients to resolve deficiency signs and improve wellbeing.
There are several reasons why hormone levels may decline:
Catching and addressing hormonal imbalances early optimizes patient outcomes with HRT.
Low hormone levels generate various signs and symptoms, including:
If patients experience any combination of these symptoms, HRT may helpresolve them.
Our hormone clinic provides comprehensive HRT to help patients regain optimal hormonal balance. We offer:
New Beginnings HRT Clinic strives to make HRT accessible, safe, and effective to promote patient wellbeing.
The first step in HRT is diagnosing hormonal deficiencies. At New Beginnings HRT Clinic, we thoroughly evaluate patients’ signs, symptoms, and medical history to determine what hormones require balancing.
We also utilize advanced lab testing to check baseline blood levels of key hormones patients may be lacking, including testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, thyroid hormones (T3/T4), growth hormone, and DHEA.
Detecting imbalances early is key for successful treatment outcomes.
All patients undergo an initial consultation with one of our hormone specialists where we:
Thorough review of patients’ medical background provides insight into what hormones may be imbalanced.
In addition to a medical workup, patients receive baseline bloodwork measuring levels of:
Diagnostic blood tests accurately pinpoint which hormones need balancing with HRT. We utilize cutting-edge analysis at accredited diagnostic laboratories.
When hormones decline, patients experience debilitating symptoms negatively impacting health and wellbeing. Hormone therapy gets levels back into optimal ranges to resolve deficiency issues.
HRT benefits include:
Declining hormones sap energy levels, endurance, and daily functioning. HRT restores hormones to reinvigorate patients’ drive and resilience. Testosterone therapy, balancing estrogen, thyroid adjustments, and other protocols counter fatigue.
Imbalanced hormones negatively alter mood, cognitive skills, and overall mental health. HRT alleviates hormone-related depression, anxiety, mood swings, memory problems, and brain fog to sharpen cognition.
As we age, muscle mass and strength diminish, quickening with hormonal decline. HRT – particularly testosterone therapy - rebuilds lean muscle mass for increased strength, mobility, and injury resilience.
Certain hormones like DHEA and testosterone help regulate immune function. Deficiencies make patients more prone to infections. HRT fortifies the immune system against viruses and pathogens.
Hormonal issues contribute to weight gain and fat accumulation in the belly and midsection. HRT helps normalize fat distribution and increases calorie-burning to facilitate weight/fat loss. Testosterone therapy is particularly beneficial for improved body composition.
Low testosterone and imbalanced estrogen or progesterone dampen libido and sexual functioning. HRT – especially correcting testosterone deficiency – restores healthy libido, arousal, sensation, orgasm response, and performance for active seniors.
Deficient estrogen, testosterone, parathyroid and growth hormone accelerate bone loss, increasing osteoporosis risk. HRT boosts bone-building to increase bone mineral density protecting against age-related fractures.
As demonstrated above, precise hormonal corrections generate transformative benefits making patients feel youthful, energetic, sharp, and healthy again.
At New Beginnings HRT Clinic, we utilize cutting edge bioidentical hormone therapy (BIT) customized for each patient’s needs. As the term suggests, bioidentical hormones have a chemical structure identical to those produced naturally in the body to seamlessly integrate.
Once we determine patient’s specific deficiencies and optimal hormone levels, our experts develop personalized BIT regimens using hormones expertly crafted to match human hormones.
Human-identical bioidentical hormones offer advantages over synthetic hormone drugs, including:
The bioidentical difference enables highly targeted treatment customized per patient.
We offer bioidentical hormones via:
Absorbed through skin, topical testosterone, progesterone, estrogen, and DHEA creams conveniently restore local tissue levels. Creams offer precise dosing adjustable based on patient blood levels and symptom response.
Testosterone injections, human growth hormone injections, and select nutrient injections effectively elevate circulating hormone levels. Our experts tailor injection protocols and frequencies catered to each patient.
Liquid testosterone, estradiol, and DHEA administered under the tongue rapidly increase blood hormone levels without relying on digestion or liver metabolism providing optimal absorption. Doses are easily titrated based on patient response and labs.
Bioidentical hormone pellets implanted under the skin offer sustained-release; stabilizing hormones using the smallest doses. Pellet therapy maintains remarkably steady blood levels reducing the need for frequent application. We utilize premium-grade pellets for reliable hormone elevation lasting 4-6 months depending on the hormone.
Our clinic offers all leading bioidentical hormone preparations allowing patients and providers to determine optimal administration methods during treatment.
We don’t just provide initial treatment – our experts meticulously track patient progress. Follow-up blood tests indicate how therapy is restoring levels along with any dosage titrations needed to hone in optimal balance points and symptom relief. We also regularly assess patient reported outcomes like energy, mood, sexual function, sleep quality and other critical quality of life indicators while making therapy adjustments accordingly
Ongoing fine-tuning and supervision leads to steady state hormonal optimization and peak treatment benefits.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Studies show that when initiated during adolescence, hormone therapy allows transgender youth to experience puberty consistent with their affirmed gender, improving mental health outcomes compared to those who delay treatment.
One of the most common and impactful hormone deficiencies New Beginnings HRT Clinic treats is low testosterone (Low T).. The latest clinical data indicates biological testosterone starts declining in men’s late 30s onward. But, today’s environmental exposures and chronic illnesses accelerate decreases resulting in 30% of men over age 50 falling into outrightLow T deficiency.
Declining testosterone not only dampens libido and performance but also massively reduces energy, fitness, emotional health, weight management, and resilience. Correcting Low T generates life-changing benefits through our cutting-edge TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) protocol.
Men demonstrate biological need for TRT when blood testing shows testosterone under: - 350 ng/dl – symptoms often present - 300 ng/dl – most men have multiple Low T symptoms - 200 ng/dl – risk of cardiovascular issues rises indicating treatment necessity
We also diagnose men as TRT candidates based on clusters of Low T signs like fatigue, erectile dysfunction, depression, obesity, and diabetes risk even if testosterone levels don’t quite meet deficiency thresholds.
New Beginnings HRT Clinic Testosterone Therapy Protocol
Initial Consultation – Patients undergo a thorough evaluation including discussion of symptoms, health history review, and a physical exam. Baseline blood tests measure total and free testosterone, estradiol, red blood cell count, PSA (prostate), comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid panel, thyroid panel, and vitamin D.
TRT Administration – We educate patients on options like weekly injections, daily gels, patches and pellets so they can choose their preferred methods. Based on patient needs and lifestyles, we develop customized treatment regimensusing bioidentical preparations titrated to optimum dosing.
Follow Up & Monitoring – Patients return monthly when first starting TRT for repeat blood tests, side effect evaluations, and dosage adjustments until symptom reliefand ideal testosterone levels stabilize typically between 500 – 900 ng/dl depending on patient age and individual variation. We also monitor key health markers and lipids.
Maintenance – Once optimized, patients undergo blood tests and follow up every 4-6 months to ensure healthy testosterone levels, safety parameters, and sustained benefits. We adjust dosing or change preparations if needed.
