What is Hormone Replacement Therapy and Why It’s Important
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) supplements hormones that your body may be lacking. It can effectively treat symptoms of menopause, andropause or other hormone deficiency to restore wellbeing.
Crucial hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone regulate many vital processes in the body and mind:
- Bone strength and fracture prevention
- Muscle mass maintenance
- Sexual desire and function
- Energy levels, motivation and concentration
- Mood balance and emotional wellbeing
- Metabolism and body composition
- Skin and hair health
- Cardiovascular function and cholesterol
- Memory, focus and cognitive performance
When our hormone levels decline or become imbalanced due to aging, stress, poor diet, or other factors, it takes a heavy toll on our quality of life. Rebalancing hormones through replacement therapy offers widespread benefits.
How Hormones Impact the Body and Mind
To determine the best treatment approach, you must understand the diverse roles of our body’s chemical messengers.
Key Hormones and What They Do
Hormone | Function |
Estrogen | Regulates female sexual development and function; impacts skin, hair, bone, cognitive health, cholesterol levels, heart health. |
Progesterone | Works with estrogen to control the menstrual cycle; supports pregnancy and embryo development. |
Testosterone | Directs male sexual development; stimulates bone & muscle growth, impacts libido, energy, mood and memory. |
Insulin | Allows cells to use glucose for energy; regulates blood sugar. |
Growth hormone | Stimulates tissue growth and cell regeneration; helps regulate body composition. |
Melatonin | Guides sleep-wake cycles; regulates circadian rhythm. |
Cortisol | Manages response to stress; regulates inflammation, blood pressure, blood sugar. |
Hormone production naturally rises and falls over our lifespan:
In Women
Estrogen and progesterone drop during perimenopause and menopause as ovarian function declines. Hot flashes, mood swings, sleep disruption, vaginal dryness, and loss of bone density may occur.
In Men
Testosterone decreases approximately 1% each year after age 40. Low libido, erectile dysfunction, muscle loss, fatigue, and cognitive issues may develop.
On Both genders
Growth hormone, melatonin, DHEA and cortisol also decline with age. Metabolic rate, sleep quality, stress response, energy levels, endurance and recovery time are impacted.
While subtle at first, these changes accumulate over time, leading to considerable impacts on wellbeing. Hormone replacement can help counteract the unwanted effects of hormonal decline.

Our Approach to Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Allure Medical only uses bioidentical hormones, which are structurally identical to the hormones naturally made in the human body. This allows precise dosing to restore optimal levels specific to your physiology and needs. Bioidentical hormones have a lower risk of side effects compared to synthetic versions.
- We begin with extensive lab testing to accurately assess your hormone levels and identify any deficiencies. Our experienced physicians take a comprehensive health history and discuss your symptoms in depth during an initial consultation.
- We then develop a customized treatment plan using bioidentical hormones via pellets. The dosage, delivery method and combination of hormones is tailored to your unique situation.Â
- Patients receive ongoing monitoring, with hormone levels retested and dosages adjusted over time as needed.
Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women
For women experiencing perimenopause or menopause, we offer bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA tailored to your needs.
Benefits may include:
- relief from hot flashes
- night sweats
- vaginal dryness
- improved sleep quality
- energy levels and mental clarity
- balanced mood
- increased libido
- weight management
- reduced risk of osteoporosis and heart disease
We carefully monitor patients on estrogen therapy due to increased cancer and blood clot risks when taken long term. However, short term estrogen replacement for severe menopause symptoms is considered relatively safe under medical supervision.
Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men
In men, testosterone therapy is commonly used to alleviate andropause symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, loss of muscle mass, erectile dysfunction and decreased endurance. We also address growth hormone or DHEA deficiencies as needed.
Benefits of testosterone replacement in men may include:
- heightened energy and stamina
- improved concentration
- balanced mood
- enhanced libido and sexual function
- increased muscle mass and strength
- reduced risk of cardiovascular disease when properly dosed.
Safety and Side Effects
HRT is generally safe when administered correctly under medical supervision. Potential side effects may include:

- Bloating or fluid retention
We minimize risks by:
- Carefully assessing your health to determine if HRT is appropriate
