Hormone Therapy

Hormonal Balance in Women

At Seven Lakes Prescription Shoppe, we specialize in customized hormone therapy, a personalized approach to hormone replacement using hormones that are identical to those naturally produced by the body. Hormone deficiencies in women can result from aging, illness, medications, or environmental factors.

What is Customized Bioidentical Hormone Therapy?

Compounded hormone prescriptions are derived from natural sources like the yam plant and are converted into hormones with a chemical structure identical to your body’s natural hormones. Unlike synthetic hormones found in some birth control pills, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) offers a more natural approach.

Benefits of Customized Hormone Therapy

Customized therapy can be beneficial for women at any age experiencing hormonal imbalances. The process involves assessing hormone levels and symptoms, replacing deficient hormones, and ongoing monitoring to fine-tune the therapy. BHRT is commonly available in topical, sublingual, or oral dosage forms.

Key Hormones for Therapy

  • Estrogen: Helps relieve menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and painful intercourse. It also supports bone health and cardiovascular health.
  • Progesterone: Often combined with estrogen to prevent "estrogen dominance" and alleviate symptoms like insomnia and anxiety. It also supports menstrual cycle regulation and may enhance estrogen’s benefits.
  • Androgens (DHEA and Testosterone): Important for vitality, libido, and maintaining skin, bone, and muscle health. Supplementation may be beneficial as levels decline with menopause.

Comprehensive Approach to Hormonal Health

Achieving hormonal balance goes beyond sex hormones. Evaluating thyroid and adrenal function, as well as nutritional status, can be essential parts of the process.

Hormonal Balance and Vitality in Men

Customized Hormone Therapy is also available for men at Seven Lakes Prescription Shoppe. As men age, especially after 40, hormone levels, particularly testosterone, naturally decline, which can lead to a condition known as “andropause.” Andropause has been compared to menopause in women.

What is Hormone Therapy for Men?

HRT for men primarily involves Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), but may also include other hormones such as DHEA and pregnenolone. These therapies can address hormone deficiencies due to aging, illness, medications, or environmental factors.

Symptoms of Hormone Deficiency in Men

  • Diminished sex drive and vitality
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Depression
  • Anemia
  • Heart disease or worsening lipid profiles
  • Reduced muscle mass and bone density
  • Increased fat mass
  • Frailty and osteoporosis

The Process

Achieving hormonal balance involves assessing hormone levels through saliva or blood tests, evaluating symptoms, and replacing deficient hormones with customized therapy. Testosterone therapy can be compounded into topical or sublingual forms.

Comprehensive Care for Men’s Health

Alongside sex hormones, assessing thyroid and adrenal function, as well as nutritional status, is crucial for overall hormonal health.

Expertise and Personalized Care

At Seven Lakes Prescription Shoppe, our pharmacists have received advanced training and regularly attend seminars to stay current with the latest techniques in compounding hormone therapy. We offer private consultations to help our patients understand the benefits of customized hormone therapies.
