What is hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is an effective treatment for adults who experience moderate to severe symptoms of a hormone imbalance. 

Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate many of your body’s vital functions. Illness and aging can disrupt hormone production in men and women and lead to a hormone imbalance. Women may also be susceptible to an imbalance during the transition to menopause, the natural end of their childbearing years.

Wellness by Design specializes in customized hormone therapy plans for adults. Dr. Zuniga and his experienced medical team focus on correcting the imbalance with supplemental hormones.

They also offer resources you can use to optimize hormone production and prevent additional complications that interfere with your physical, mental, and sexual health. 

When should I consider hormone replacement therapy?

You may be a candidate for hormone replacement therapy if you have persistent symptoms of a hormone imbalance that you can’t manage with lifestyle and diet changes. These symptoms can include:

• Hair loss
• Chronic fatigue
• Mood swings
• Decreased libido
• Weight gain
• Joint inflammation and pain

Women may also experience irregular periods, vaginal dryness, and pain with sex due to an imbalance in estrogen. Testosterone imbalances in men can cause a loss of muscle mass and erectile dysfunction (ED).

Wellness by Design offers in-office blood testing to evaluate your hormone levels. Dr. Zuniga also completes a physical exam and reviews your medical history to determine if HRT is best for you.

What does hormone replacement therapy include?

Wellness by Design’s hormone replacement therapy plans include monthly services like prescription testosterone or progesterone creams, pills, patches, or injections, follow-up visits with Dr. Zuniga, and additional lab work for an affordable monthly fee.

You can also combine hormone replacement therapy with weight loss management and sexual dysfunction treatments for an additional monthly cost.

Dr. Zuniga works closely with you to find the most effective HRT delivery method and dosage for lasting symptom relief. He continues to monitor your progress with treatment and makes adjustments as needed.
