with HORMONE THERAPY OF VIRGINIA

​Why are adequate hormone levels important?
Hormones are needed to preserve many critical functions such as overall health, mental awareness, sex drive, disease prevention and more.
 
Why replace hormones?
By age 30, men and women start to lose 2–3 percent of many hormones year by year. By the time you reach the age of 50, your hormone production has decreased by half or more.
 
How do I find out if I have a hormone deficiency / imbalance?
The only accurate way to detect a hormone deficiency or imbalance is to have your doctor conduct a comprehensive lab work panel.
 
Which hormones should I take?

We begin with comprehensive lab testing to evaluate key hormones, including testosterone, estrogen, growth hormone, thyroid hormones, DHEA, and progesterone. Our practitioner carefully reviews your results and discusses them with you in detail. Based on your lab findings, symptoms, and health goals, we work with you to create a personalized hormone therapy plan tailored to your individual needs.

 
How soon will I see results?
It takes 6-8 weeks for levels to be optimized after starting on hormone therapy. Noticeable results typically start around the 3rd week of therapy, although results can occur sooner in some. You can continue to see additional benefits throughout the first three months. Growth Hormone peptides take three months to see full benefits. 
 
What is Growth Hormone?
Growth hormone is an endocrine hormone that is produced by the anterior portion of the pituitary gland. It is made up of 191 amino acids. Production of growth hormone decreases with age and by 40, growth hormone levels are only 40% of what they were at age 20.​​
