Hormones dictate and affect every system in the body. Reproductive hormones especially can have a significant impact on much more than sexual function. Both men and women can experience hormone imbalances as they get older, affecting their health and quality of life. As part of our medical services at Beverly Hills Concierge Doctor, we offer effective hormone replacement treatment or therapy (HRT) through our medical practice in Los Angeles, CA.

Testosterone Therapy for Men

Men have slowly declining testosterone levels by age 40, which is a normal part of aging. However, some men have sudden drops in testosterone production, which can cause abnormally low levels. Referred to as “low T,” this condition can impact energy levels, hair growth, erectile function, body weight and libido. Starting HRT with testosterone injections can increase testosterone levels, which can help improve overall health.

Numerous physiological processes depend on testosterone. Stress, aging and some medical diseases, such as hypogonadism, can all cause a drop in testosterone levels. Testosterone replacement therapy aims to restore levels that naturally decline with age, which can have the following benefits:

• Increased libido
• Enhanced muscle mass
• More energy
• Better mental clarity
• Promote fat loss
• Improved sleep

HRT for Women

Hormones such as estrogen are essential elements for proper female body functioning. Estrogen levels drop suddenly at menopause, which can have a dramatic impact on many different bodily functions. The menopausal transition is a crucial time in every woman’s life that signals some irreversible changes in their body. This natural biological process happens when a woman is in her 40s or 50s, ending the menstrual cycle and often beginning physiological and emotional symptoms.

Hormone replacement therapy is a special treatment for menopausal symptoms and protects long-term health. HRT with estrogen replacement enables women to replenish hormone deficiency with hormones identical to the ones their body produces. Some of the benefits of estrogen HRT include:

• Increased libido
• Improved sleep
• Improved metabolism
• Reduce frequency of hot flashes
• Better mental clarity
• Strengthens bladder muscles

Hormone replacement therapy for men and women can be a game changer. It can quickly return hormone levels to a more youthful level, reversing some of the symptoms of hormone imbalance.
