Imbalanced hormone levels can significantly impact quality of life. Understanding the signs enables timely treatment.
Catching and addressing hormone imbalance early is crucial for regaining wellness. The caring providers at Vivo Health leverage advanced testing and proven protocols to get patients back on track.
Hormones like testosterone and estrogen play crucial regulatory roles across bodily systems. Maintaining ideal levels promotes overall vitality.
The endocrine system produces hormones using a network of glands, including:
This feedback loop aims to keep hormones balanced. When levels swing too high or low, wide-ranging symptoms can occur.
Reasons for hormonal disruption include:
Catching and promptly treating imbalances helps curtail complications.
When hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone are restored to optimal levels, transformative benefits occur:
Patients often report feeling years younger upon restoring hormones to balanced levels, sparking renewed enthusiasm for life.
Given the potency of hormones, customized treatment plans based on comprehensive lab analysis help ensure patient safety and satisfaction.
Our clinic leverages state-of-the-art testing to assess:
This integrated analysis is entirely unique to the patient and precisely informs individualized therapies.
Initial testing establishes a baseline to determine appropriate treatment interventions. Follow-up testing during treatment allows providers to continually calibrate dosing until the patient reports satisfactory symptom relief, and labs show ideal levels.
The providers at Vivo Health leverage best-in-class testing and proven treatment protocols to restore patients to peak wellness.
The endocrine experts at Vivo Health offer customized treatment plans based on each patient's diagnostic results and goals.
Using lab testing as a guide, providers formulate personalized prescriptions of bioidentical hormones - molecularly identical to those produced in the body - dosed to reach and maintain a patient's optimal level based on age and gender. Ongoing labs confirm progress.
Providing thyroid or adrenal support when labs indicate allows for more complete endocrine regulation and relief of uncomfortable symptoms. We offer both pharmaceutical and natural supplementation approaches based on patient preferences.
Vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other compounds help restore nutritional deficiencies, detoxification pathways, and metabolic processes - addressing the root causes of hormonal disruptions.
Our providers offer counseling on managing stress, proper sleep habits, strategic dietary changes, and ideal exercise plans for sustaining peak wellness based on each patient's needs and labs. Ongoing fine-tuning helps patients thrive.
The goal of Vivo Health specialized treatment plans is complete patient recovery, not mere symptom management. We empower patients to take charge of their health.
Catching and addressing hormone deficiency early is crucial for regaining and preserving quality of life and reducing long-term health risks.
Balanced hormones promote neuroplasticity - protecting memory, cognition, and preventing mood disorders long-term. Even mild hormone declines increase dementia risks if left untreated.
Optimal hormones prevent systemic inflammation, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease over time. Imbalance hastens chronic disease progression.
Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and DHEA naturally wane over decades. Maintaining youthful levels as we age keeps us vibrantly energetic, sharp, fit, and sexually active into our later years.
Bioidentical hormones used for replacement carry little risk when properly dosed and monitored via testing. Synthetics and uncontrolled use carry higher risks. Starting treatment earlier ensures gentler required dosing.

Margaret W. shares:
"I was coping with hot flashes, trouble sleeping, mental fog, and zero sex drive in my late 40s. My primary doctor said it was just normal aging. After struggling for years, I found the Vivo Health. Custom testing showed my hormones were tanking fast. After starting balanced bioidentical estrogen and testosterone therapy along with targeted nutrition and some lifestyle tweaks, I feel like a new woman - sleeping great, thinking clearly, and my passion for intimacy with my husband is back better than ever! I have so much energy now - my life is vibrant again thanks to the integrative solutions Vivo Health provided. I tell all my middle-aged friends they need to get their levels checked and consider hormone therapy too!"

Cutting-edge advances in hormone therapy make treatment more targeted, convenient, and comfortable than ever.
Unlike earlier synthetic versions, today's bioidentical hormones match endogenous human hormones molecule for molecule, providing precision effects throughout the body with minimal side effects. Continual improvements in bioavailability, duration, and delivery methods offer patients flexible, effective options catering to preferences for ease of use, like painless sublingual DHEA drops or convenient compounded testosterone creams.
Analyzing individual genetic SNPs helps predict responses to nutrients and bridges the diagnosis gap when standard labs appear "normal range" despite deficiency symptoms manifesting due to genetic inefficiencies in hormone pathways. Nutrigenomics-guided nutritional support enhances hormone balance synergistically with other therapies. Vivo Health now offers state-of-the-art testing and targeted nutrient therapies for customized optimization.
Exciting peptide compounds like Kisspeptin powerfully stimulate GnRH pathways in the hypothalamus, increasing endogenous sex hormone production, including testosterone and sperm formation in men or egg maturation in women - representing a revolutionary capability to directly impact hormone generation at the most fundamental level through a simple subcutaneous injection.

Supporting hormone therapy with positive lifestyle adjustments enhances progress.
Aim for 7-9 hours per night. Block blue light before bed, keep the room cool and dark, avoid caffeine in the evening, and develop a relaxing pre-bed routine. Address sleep apnea if present. Solid sleep sustains hormonal harmony long-term.
Work out most days per week, alternating strength training, which boosts testosterone, with cardio conditioning for optimal health. Even daily walking confers benefits. Support recovery with electrolytes, nutrients, and foam rolling.
Eat an anti-inflammatory diet emphasizing healthy fats, clean proteins, fibrous greens and vegetables, some fruit, and eliminating sugars. We offer customized meal plans. Vital nutrients like zinc also aid hormone pathways.
Excess stress over-triggers adrenal glands, altering hormone regulation negatively. We teach stress relief practices like box breathing, nature immersion, yoga, meditation, and maintaining fulfilling social connections, which serve as a buffer during demanding times.
Further hormone-supportive changes like strategic fasting, targeted supplementation, and toxin elimination may provide an advantage on labs and symptom relief. Vivo Health guides patients continually for best outcomes.
Aligning lifestyle factors with hormone therapy speeds progress towards ideal wellness.
Balanced hormones profoundly influence mood, clarity, drive, and cognition throughout life. Deficiency exacerbates risks for anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline.
Testosterone, thyroid hormones, and cortisol significantly impact mood regulation pathways. Imbalances often manifest as increased irritability, volatility, and low-grade depression. Optimizing levels alleviates distress.
Circulating androgen hormones drive reward center activity, explaining the increased ambition and drive reported by men who boost sub-optimal testosterone levels. Energy expenditure also increases.
