Hormones affect so many aspects of our lives, regardless of age, lifestyle, or gender. And, with this, we’re excited to introduce our newest Philosophy MD treatment initiative; Hormone Optimization is a physician-led, team-supported, and personalized approach to improving your hormonal health and overall well-being. Take back control and regain balance with a bespoke program that prioritizes your holistic wellbeing.

Hormone balance 

Hormones act as the powerful regulators of your body’s complex internal systems. Llike the conductor of a symphony, they direct everything from energy levels and metabolism to mood, sleep, and physical performance. When these delicate chemical balances shift outside of their optimal ranges, we experience disruptions like persistent fatigue, unexpected weight fluctuations, moodiness, fogginess, diminished sexual desire, and restless nights. 

Recent studies demonstrate how hormone imbalances are also central instigators in anxiety and depression disorders in men and women. Fluctuating hormone levels can severely impact mental health and mood changes.

Our Hormone Optimization program seeks to restore balance and improve vitality by tailoring care to your unique biology and health goals. Whether you’re exploring bio-identical hormones, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), or testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), our expert team is here to guide you.

Benefits of Hormone Optimization

Your journey to hormonal equilibrium can offer significant improvements to overall quality of life, including: 

• Increased energy throughout the day
• Mental clarity and improved cognitive function
• Improved mood and emotional stability
• Optimized sleep patterns for better rest
• Enhanced physical performance and libido

Hormone Optimization that’s completely tailored to you

Step 1: Consultation and Assessment

Begin with a physician-led consultation to evaluate your health history, self-assessment, and goals. This includes a personalized testing plan to assess critical markers such as metabolites, estrogen, DHEA, progesterone, testosterone, and vitamin D. Our approach considers your chronological age, unique health composition, and personal goals to create a pathway for tailored optimization.

Step 2: Comprehensive Testing

We’ll glean a comprehensive understanding of your current hormonal benchmarks from comprehensive testing as outlined in your plan. Results are analyzed to identify areas for improvement and assess whether intervention is appropriate.

Step 3: Personalized Plan Development

Within six weeks of your initial consultation, you’ll return for a follow-up visit to review your results. Your physician will discuss findings and provide a detailed, personalized optimization plan. This may include lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, supplements, bio-identical hormones, or other treatments such as HRT or TRT, when appropriate.

On average, patients will undergo two rounds of testing, two physician assessments, and two follow-ups annually. Our dedicated team ensures your testing is timely, follow-up windows are met, and support is always available to keep you on track.

Hormonal Optimization For Men

Men come to our program with concerns about low energy, restless sleep, sexual performance, physical performance, or general malaise–all potentially relevant to hormone balance.  It is estimated that males experience a decline in testosterone levels at the rate of 1%–2% per annum after the age of 40 years. Our Hormone Optimization program for men focuses on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) when appropriate. Our responsible approach to hormonal benchmarking and optimization can help you maintain peak performance in all areas of life, whether at work, in the gym, or with your family.

Hormone Optimization For Women

Our Hormone Optimization treatment programs for women can address early hormone benchmarking, perimenopause management, and more generalized hormone optimization. Whether you’re in your early thirties or peri menopausal, optimization can help you navigate ongoing hormonal transitions with confidence and vitality, helping with symptoms of menopause or hormonal fluctuations.

Our approach can include bio-identical hormones (hormonal treatments that mimic your existing hormones), robust and specialized testing, physician-led care and comprehensive monitoring to track and respond in real-time to your body’s responses and unique hormonal needs.
