How does Hormone Optimization Lead to a Better Quality of Life? Let’s Talk About Longevity Medicine.
As we journey alongside our patients, we see common threads that inform the programs, treatments, and approaches we offer. We’re passionate about aesthetic solutions that empower, but we know that a richer, deeper quality of life is intricately tied to how we look and feel in our bodies at every stage of life.
Our Longevity Medicine programs target the core foundational aspects of aging to maintain vitality and inspire resilience for healthy, confident living.
Our Longevity Program is made up of three tiers: Foundations is our core program, providing essential testing to help you get started on your longevity journey. NorthStar is our most comprehensive option, featuring expanded annual testing, ongoing monitoring, and Hormone Optimization. The third tier focuses solely on Hormone Optimization for those specifically interested in balancing and enhancing hormonal health. But why do hormones pack such a powerful punch when it comes to living a long, full life? Let’s talk about these small but mighty chemicals conducting the course of our lives.
Hormones are deeply tied to the quality of our life as we age.
The patterns and balance of our endocrine system (responsible for releasing and balancing the fluctuating dance of our hormones) dictates almost every aspect of the aging process; including our sleep cycles and circadian rhythms, moods, energy, muscles and organs, bones, skin health, desire and libido, appetite, and so much more. Studies show that treating hormonal imbalances as part of longevity therapy can also combat chronic health conditions like dementia, cardiovascular disease, frailty, and diabetes.
That’s why our Hormone Optimization Program addresses these changes before they culminate in disease or decline. Our introductory consultation and examination includes an in-depth health interview, state-of-the-art diagnostic testing, and holistic risk-factor analysis.
How do we treat hormonal imbalances?
Our physician-led hormone baseline assessment, monitoring, and optimization allows us to understand the role of hormonal imbalance in every aspect of your life. For women, it can evaluate how major life changes like pregnancy, Perimenopause or Menopause, may require a response to rebalance and optimize your hormones to relieve symptoms. For male patients, natural testosterone levels deplete due to a number of both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, leading to changes in muscle mass, bone density, hair growth, fat distribution, libido, energy and more. Ongoing monitoring and optimization can greatly improve function in all areas.
Professional hormone optimization can offer:
- 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
- For women, managing menopause or perimenopause symptoms
We combine hormone assessment and optimization with preventative and proactive monitoring, analysis and treatment methods for a vibrant outcome. Our Hormone Optimization Program includes bi-annual examinations, investigations, and follow-ups with Dr. Matt.
