Saint Paul, Minnesota is home to Balance Hormone Institute, a top-rated anti aging and hormone therapy clinic specializing in helping patients look and feel their best. As we age, hormone levels naturally decline, leading to unwanted symptoms that impact quality of life. The experienced medical team at Balance Hormone Institute offers advanced testing and personalized treatment plans to target age-related hormone deficiencies.
Hormone levels peak in the teens and 20s, then slowly drop over time. Factors like stress, poor diet, lack of sleep and illness can accelerate deficiency. The most common age-related hormonal changes include:
Testosterone helps maintain muscle mass, bone density, red blood cell production, and libido. Low testosterone leads to fatigue, weight gain, erectile dysfunction, and emotional changes in men over 30.
These key hormones regulate a woman’s reproductive cycle and manage processes like body temperature. Declining levels during perimenopause and menopause cause hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings, sleep disruption and irregular periods.
Thyroid hormones manage metabolism. An underactive thyroid, or hypothyroidism, causes stubborn weight gain, constipation, fatigue, hair loss and sensitivity to cold.
Growth hormone works with collagen to maintain youthful muscle composition and skin integrity. With less output, collagen breaks down leading to sagging skin and wrinkles while muscle mass declines.
Boosting hormones with bioidentical therapy can:
In balancing hormones, patients report feeling healthier, happier and often decades younger. Individual results depend on many factors including age, diet and lifestyle habits. That's why testing hormone levels first is key.
The foundation of anti aging therapy lies in accurately assessing a patient's hormone levels. Balance Hormone Institute utilizes advanced blood analysis and diagnostics to measure:
Testing may reveal multiple deficient hormones that need balancing for optimal wellness. Interpreting lab analysis allows our practitioners to create treatment programs specific to the patient’s needs. Follow up blood work helps monitor patient progress.
After thorough testing, Balance Hormone Institute custom blends bioidentical hormones tailored to the patient’s body and untreated levels. Made from plant sources, these molecularly identical hormones match what the body produces naturally.
Unlike synthetic versions, individually prepared bioidentical hormones:
We offer hormone replacement pellets, creams, pills and injectables including:
In men, restoring testosterone to healthy ranges reverses symptoms of low T like fatigue, low libido and weight gain. Women also benefit from small testosterone amounts to improve metabolic factors and sexual health.
Balancing estrogen levels in women alleviates hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and related discomforts while supporting heart health, bone density and mental acuity.
Patients with low thyroid often require thyroid hormone supplementation to resolve stubborn weight gain, hair loss and associated hypothyroid symptoms.
As levels decline with age, replacing growth hormones enhances cell regeneration for younger looking skin, muscle tone and a healthy metabolism.
This adrenal hormone plays dozens of roles in the body. Supplementing low levels supports immune function, mood, libido and bone density while improving energy.
Treatment plans always start with the lowest effective dose, then adjust based on follow up testing and patient response. Pellet implants bypass the digestive system to deliver consistent daily hormones over 4-6 months. Creams allow easy dose changes but require daily applications.
Hormone therapy works best alongside healthy lifestyle choices that slow age-related decline including:
Eating natural, minimally processed whole foods high in antioxidants keeps cells healthy. These nourish without spiking glucose or insulin levels.
Cardio, weights and stretching sessions build lean muscle mass supporting metabolic rate and mobility as we age. Even light activity benefits hormone balance and wellness.
High cortisol from chronic stress accelerates aging. Relaxation practices like meditation, yoga and massage lower cortisol while boosting immunity and mental health.
Getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep allows hormones and cells to regenerate fully overnight. Maintaining consistent bedtimes and healthy sleep hygiene supports the entire endocrine system.
Certain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and omega fatty acids help hormone production. Our practitioners may suggest specific nutritional supplements to nourish glands based on testing results.
