Hormone therapy involves adjusting hormone levels using medications like gels, patches, pellets or injections. It treats symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances related to aging, menopause, andropause or medical conditions.
When hormones like estrogen, testosterone or thyroid are low or not functioning properly, patients may experience fatigue, depression, hot flashes, low libido, erectile dysfunction, weight gain, and other issues that negatively impact quality of life.
Hormone replacement therapy can successfully alleviate these symptoms when prescribed and monitored by a qualified hormonal specialist. Treatment plans are customized to each patient's unique needs and goals.
The first step is diagnostic testing to accurately measure hormone levels. At Thrive Hormone Therapy, we use advanced medical technologies to perform sensitive hormone blood panels, saliva tests and urine tests.
We check key hormones including:
Testing provides objective data on any existing hormone deficiencies or excesses. This enables our hormone therapists and endocrinologists to develop specialized treatment plans for each patient.
Table 1: Common Symptoms of Hormone Imbalances
| Low Testosterone | Low Estrogen | Low Thyroid |
|---|---|---|
| Low libido | Hot flashes | Fatigue |
| Erectile dysfunction | Vaginal dryness | Weight gain |
| Depression | Bone loss | Constipation |
| Loss of strength | Bladder issues | Cold sensitivity |
| Fatigue | Vaginal atrophy | Heavy periods |
Once we have diagnostic lab results, our hormone therapy doctors use medical expertise to create tailored therapy plans, including:
Treatment goals revolve around resolving deficiency symptoms and restoring optimal hormonal balance for overall health and wellbeing.
We also provide therapies for other hormone-related conditions like PCOS, menopause, andropause, adrenal fatigue and infertility.
There are various medical treatment options depending on each patient's preferences, sensitivities, lifestyle factors, and types of hormone deficiencies present.
Testosterone therapy is prescribed for men with low testosterone (low T), which is also called hypogonadism or andropause. This treatable medical condition leads to unpleasant symptoms that affect quality of life.
Research shows testosterone therapy effectively:
Thrive Hormone Therapy utilizes all proven methods to safely increase testosterone levels:
We work closely with each patient to choose the optimal testosterone therapy based on treatment goals, sensitivities, lifestyle and convenience.

| Method | How It Works | Duration | Convenience |
|---|---|---|---|
| Injections | Administered into muscle/fat | 1-2 weeks per dose | Self-inject at home |
| Gels | Rubbed daily onto skin | 24 hours per dose | Daily application |
| Pellets | Inserted under skin | 3-6 months | Requires minor procedure every few months |
| Pills | Swallowed | 4-24 hours per dose | Daily oral dosing |
Declining or insufficient estrogen levels lead to unpleasant menopause symptoms that disrupt life - hot flashes, insomnia, vaginal atrophy, osteoporosis, weight gain, anxiety, brain fog and depression.
Estrogen therapy alleviates these issues by restoring estrogen to healthy youthful levels. Treatment is available as pills, skin patches, gels or vaginal inserts.
We help patients choose options aligning with personal preferences and lifestyles for convenient, effective treatment.
An underactive thyroid gland leads to a condition called hypothyroidism with symptoms like chronic fatigue, stubborn weight gain, constipation, cold sensitivity, dry skin and hair loss.
By restoring thyroid hormones to optimal levels, symptoms dramatically improve and energy increases. We provide pure thyroid medications and closely monitor the effects with lab testing to dial in the perfect dosage.
