Improve your health and mood with expert hormone replacement therapy in Kirkland WA.
When most people think of menopause, they think of hot flashes and mood swings. Women who are living through menopause know different. In addition to these highly noticeable symptoms, menopause can bring other more subtle problems like depression, fatigue, and insomnia. The decline in estrogen production that occurs at menopause can also put your overall health in jeopardy. Renew Youth™ can help. We offer safe and effective hormone replacement therapy in Kirkland WA to restore a healthy balance to your body and help you look and feel more youthful.
Balancing Your Hormones
Our doctors approach hormone replacement therapy in Kirkland WA as a nuanced effort to restore balance to all your vital hormones, not just a one-size-fits-all supplement of any particular hormone. In addition to relieving your menopause symptoms, balancing your hormones can also improve your overall health. Based on the results of detailed lab testing, and on your description of your symptoms, our experienced doctors will create a personalized menopause treatment plan including the specific dosages of hormones you need to feel your best. Our treatment plans focus on the following hormones:
Estrogen: Women have estrogen receptors all over their bodies. When estrogen is low, this can cause all kinds of issues with your health. At Renew Youth™, we prescribe a bi-est formula for estrogen replacement. This formula includes two types of estrogen (estradiol and estriol) for a safe, gentler treatment that you would get from estradiol alone.
Progesterone: Prescribing estrogen without progesterone is irresponsible. Renew Youth™ always prescribes these two in combination and we never prescribe the synthetic forms that increase the risk of cancer.
Testosterone: Women need a little bit of this male hormone to feel their best. Restoring testosterone to healthy levels helps women look and feel better by improving mood and sex drive and helping make exercise more effective.
Thyroid: Thyroid is essential for regulating your metabolism as well as the balance of your other vital hormones. Unlike most doctors who only test for T4, Renew Youth™ diagnoses low thyroid by testing for T3 free, the form of thyroid your body actually uses. This means we never overlook low thyroid in our treatments.
DHEA: DHEA is extremely important for protecting against the effects of the stress hormone cortisol, which would otherwise cause accelerated aging. DHEA also helps support immune function and overall hormone balance. While it is possible to get DHEA as an over-the-counter supplement, this may not provide the correct dose for your unique body chemistry. The correct way to supplement DHEA is as part of your hormone replacement therapy in Kirkland WA.
Oxytocin: Healthy levels of oxytocin help to trigger the chain reaction of arousal that eventually leads to orgasm.
