Many individuals suffer from symptoms related to hormone deficiencies that negatively impact quality of life. At Optimal Hormone Solutions in Fullerton, we provide comprehensive hormone therapy to help patients restore optimal hormonal balance.
Hormones are chemical messengers secreted by glands throughout the body that travel through the bloodstream to organs and tissues. They regulate critical biological functions like metabolism, growth, mood, sexual function, and cognition. When hormone levels drop below normal ranges, patients may experience unpleasant signs and symptoms.
There are several potential causes of hormonal imbalance, including:
Patients with deficient hormone levels may exhibit:
If you are experiencing any of these issues, hormone testing is recommended to pinpoint specific deficiencies for treatment.
Optimal Hormone Solutions in Fullerton provides cutting-edge hormonal treatments personalized to each patient's needs in a comfortable, welcoming environment.
Our clinic is directed under the expertise of Dr. Jane Smith, a board-certified hormone therapy specialist with over 15 years of experience restoring patients' hormonal balance. Patients appreciate her compassionate bedside manner.
Dr. Smith leads a clinical team including nurses, medical assistants, nutritionists, and fitness experts. Together, our specialists develop customized treatment plans to help patients look and feel their best by optimizing their hormone levels.
Optimal Hormone Solutions offers advanced hormone optimization therapies to suit each patient's needs:
We provide bioidentical hormones carefully dosed to mimic the body’s natural hormones for superior safety and results.
Male hormone therapy (TRT) at Optimal Hormone Solutions can relieve frustrating low testosterone symptoms so patients feel healthy, energetic and youthful again.
We first test patients’ total and free testosterone blood levels in our on-site lab.
Low testosterone, or hypogonadism, is diagnosed when levels measure below 300 ng/dL.
Men over 30 lose approximately 1-2% of testosterone yearly, hence treatment often benefits aging men. That said, low testosterone afflicts younger men too.
Clinical studies reveal testosterone treatment helps men:
We tailor testosterone therapy regimens to each patient for optimal safety and results.
Options include testosterone injections, gels, pellets or patches dosed based on factors like age, symptoms, and treatment goals.
Most men notice improvements in energy, sex drive, and wellbeing within 1-2 weeks with maximal benefits in 2-3 months.
Monitoring via follow-up blood tests prevents adverse side effects.
Optimal Hormone Solutions also specializes in hormone therapy for women to relieve unpleasant perimenopause or menopause symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, irregular periods, low sex drive, weight gain, anxiety, depression, irritability, trouble focusing, thinning hair, and skin aging.
Perimenopause marks the 5-10 year transition phase leading up to menopause featuring hormone fluctuations causing symptoms. Periods may become heavier, lighter, shorter or longer and more erratic during this time.
Menopause indicates 12 consecutive months without menstruating, marking the end of fertility. This milestone typically unfolds between ages 45-55 due to waning estrogen and progesterone output.
We offer comprehensive estrogen & progesterone therapy programs tailored to rebalance each woman’s hormones for:
Plus we provide supportive therapies like customized nutrition plans to control unwanted weight/belly fat, physical therapy to reduce injury risk, and stress reduction techniques to manage anxiety/depression.
Women undergo lab testing to determine ideal estrogen & progesterone dosing via patches/gels, pellets, or creams/suppositories with careful medical oversight. Those still experiencing light, sporadic periods may benefit from the oral contraceptive pill.
Hormone therapy was originally developed to help manage symptoms of menopause in women, but studies have found it may also have benefits for transgender individuals undergoing gender transition. Hormone therapy has been shown to improve mental health, quality of life, and body image in transgender people while aligning secondary sex characteristics with gender identity.
Beyond our specialty in testosterone and estrogen/progesterone therapy, we offer other hormone treatments to restore wellbeing:
Growth hormone enhances cell regeneration, muscle and bone mass, brain function, immunity, cardiovascular health, lipid profiles, and body composition as we age. When the pituitary gland reduces HGH output due to injuries or normal aging, patients may experience premature signs like weight gain, emotional distress and mental fog. Our specialists provide HGH therapies using bioidentical hormones to help patients regain a youthful quality of life.
Thyroid hormones regulate metabolism, growth, respiration, heart rate, weight, mood, fertility, digestion, brain development, and temperature regulation. Deficiency causes hypothyroidism; excess triggers hyperthyroidism. After comprehensive lab testing, we can prescribe thyroid replacing hormones to resolve hypo/hyperthyroidism symptoms like fatigue, weight shifts, constipation or diarrhea, sensitivity to cold or heat, cardivascular issues, muscle weakness, mood changes, memory loss, or puffy face.
Cortisol regulates blood sugar/pressure, metabolism, immunity, and stress adaptation. Chronically high levels due to uncontrolled stress can lead to risky visceral fat deposits, bone/muscle loss, poor blood sugar regulation, hypertension, insomnia, and depression. We offer treatments to resolve both cortisol excess and adrenal deficiency including cortisol therapy.
Optimal Hormone Solutionsians sensitively support transgender patients during their transition journeys with customized sex hormone therapy regimens to assist masculine or feminine transformation goals.
If you are experiencing fatigue, mental fog, sexual dysfunction, stubborn weight gain or any other issues potentially related to hormonal decline, we strongly advise making an appointment for comprehensive lab testing without delay.
Hormone deficiencies become increasingly difficult to reverse over time, leading to heightened risks of heart disease, obesity, osteoporosis, diabetes, loss of fertility, depression/anxiety, and neurodegenerative decline.
Furthermore, research confirms the substantial, lifelong protective benefits of early intervention to balance declining growth, sex, thyroid and cortisol hormones using replacement therapy protocols tailored to each patient's needs.
Optimal Hormone Solutions leverages cutting-edge testing and treatments to safely, effectively restore hormone deficits before they take a heavier toll on patients' health and quality of life. We also incorporate proactive lifestyle guidance.
Optimal Hormone Solutionsians provide each patient with evidence-based lifestyle recommendations to complement hormone therapy results:
We craft customized eating plans to control inflammation, balance blood sugar, enhance gut health, and support a lean body composition for optimal hormone function:
Chronic stress over-activates the fight-or-flight hormones cortisol and norepinephrine, which can suppress the immune system, reproductive hormones, thyroid function, sleep and cognitive performance. We educate patients in evidence-based relaxation practices including deep breathing, yoga, mindfulness meditation, music/art therapy, spending time outdoors in green space and other decompression techniques to counter stress.
Regular exercise promotes weight management and supports all body systems for hormonal equilibrium as we age. Our experts craft personalized fitness plans patients enjoy sticking with considering mobility levels and health conditions. We also refer patients to trusted local gyms, pools, parks and hiking trails conducive to active stress reduction and community.
