Many men and women will experience a hormone imbalance and not even realize it. Symptoms can range from subtle to debilitating and are often masked by medications that are prescribed for anxiety, depression, insomnia, weight gain, and more.
WHAT IS HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY?
Hormone therapy is the use of hormones to treat and restore hormone balance within the human body. Hormone imbalance can occur for a variety of reasons, but is most commonly associated with aging. Symptoms of hormone imbalance that are effectively treated with hormone replacement therapy include hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, anxiety, weight gain, muscle loss, joint pain, poor sleep, and more.
Dr. Steen offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy integrated with functional medicine practices to help patients overcome the negative symptoms of hormone imbalance, as well as experience wellbeing and better health as they age. Every treatment plan is designed to suit the unique needs of each patient’s personal medical history, health status, and lifestyle preferences.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS YOU NEED HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY?
Men and women who feel they may have lost their “zeal for life,” or frequently experience low energy, sleepless nights, hair loss, low or no desire for sex, hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, irritability and more are candidates for hormone replacement therapy.
Hormone imbalance is often an unfortunate side effect of aging that can diminish your quality of life and impact relationships. Bioidentical hormone therapy has been shown to be particularly effective for both women and men with few side effects and added benefits, such as reduced risk of disease.
SYMPTOMS OF HORMONE IMBALANCE IN WOMEN
Hormonal imbalance can affect your personal health and multiple facets of daily life, including your sleep, relationships, weight management, and energy levels. This is because hormones play a vital role in regulating biological processes, such as fertility, sexual function and desire, mood, stress, body temperature, sleep/wake cycles, heart rate, appetite regulation, and metabolism. If even one hormone is overproduced or underproduced, the impact can be life-altering. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below, it is time to talk to a provider specially-trained to treat hormone imbalance.
- Weight Gain
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Mood Swings
- Hot Flashes
- Night Sweats
- Low Libido
- Vaginal Dryness

Early symptoms of female hormone imbalance are commonly dismissed as signs of aging or stress brought on by everyday life. Many women continue to suffer without realizing that perimenopause and menopause should not cause daily symptoms and ongoing distress. Thyroid dysfunction presents with symptoms similar to menopausal hormone imbalance and should not be left untreated. If you are experiencing symptoms of a hormone imbalance, don’t dismiss them, contact Dr. Steen to discuss your hormone health.
SYMPTOMS OF HORMONE IMBALANCE IN MEN
Men may experience low levels of any number of hormones, but low testosterone is the most common. Testosterone production naturally reduces in men as they age, making it difficult to enjoy the benefits of natural testosterone later in life.
Conditions and symptoms of hormone imbalance in men include:
- Muscle Loss
- Weight Gain
- Low Energy
- Gynecomastia (Man Boobs)
- Poor Sleep
- Night Sweats in Men
- Lower Sex Drive
- Irritability
- Depression
- Hair Loss
