Symptoms of hormone imbalance include hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, anxiety, weight gain, muscle loss, joint pain, poor sleep, and more. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for women is a personalized approach to restoring hormonal balance, particularly as hormone levels naturally decline with age. At Restore Med Spa, we use bioidentical hormone therapy, integrated with functional medicine practices, to address common symptoms of hormone imbalance. Through careful monitoring and tailored adjustments, our goal is to help you regain vitality and feel your best, supporting a healthier, more balanced life as you age. Each treatment plan is customized to meet your unique medical history, current health, and lifestyle, ensuring a safe and effective path to lasting wellness.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a highly effective solution for men experiencing low testosterone, offering relief from symptoms while providing additional health benefits, such as a reduced risk of heart attack and stroke. Testosterone pellet therapy is the leading choice among hormone treatments for men due to its ease of use, accurate dosing, and the delivery of bioidentical testosterone in a safe, optimized form. Unlike other testosterone therapies, pellets offer consistent hormone levels, avoiding the peaks and troughs that can occur with other methods. Men on testosterone therapy often report increased energy, improved weight management, and enhanced sexual desire and performance. Research supports these benefits, showing that testosterone therapy can also contribute to better bone density with age and cognitive improvements, particularly in spatial reasoning for Alzheimer's patients. Each testosterone pellet used in our therapy is custom-compounded at a 503B FDA-registered pharmacy to meet the specific needs of each patient, using only the highest quality ingredients derived from natural plant sources. This ensures that patients receive a therapy that is both safe and effective, supporting long-term wellness and vitality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Hormonal imbalance is the result of too much or too little of a hormone in the bloodstream. As we know, hormones play an important role in our bodies. And even the smallest change can cause a ripple of side effects throughout the body.
Common symptoms of hormonal imbalance include:
- Brain fog
-
Weight gain
-
Joint pain
-
Mood swings
-
Lack of motivation

Anxiety or depression
Hormones are chemical messengers that travel through the bloodstream, entering cells, tissues, and organs to signal when and how they should act. They regulate numerous essential processes, from mood and energy levels to reproduction and overall well-being. In essence, hormones coordinate a range of activities across the body, helping to maintain balance.
As we age, hormone levels naturally decline, which can lead to various health issues if left unaddressed. Hormonal imbalances can affect both men and women at any stage of life, underscoring the importance of regular check-ups and monitoring to maintain optimal health.
Hormone therapy involves using hormones to restore balance within the body, addressing common symptoms of hormonal imbalance, which often occur with aging. These symptoms, which can be effectively treated with hormone replacement therapy, include hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, anxiety, weight gain, muscle loss, joint pain, poor sleep, and more.
Our goal is to help you feel your very best and restore vitality through routine hormone monitoring, personalized adjustments, and support with diet and exercise—so you can reclaim the quality of life you once enjoyed.

Low testosterone affects numerous organs and tissues, impacting everything from mood and mental clarity to physical vitality and sexual health. When testosterone levels decline, men may experience irritability, lack of motivation, anxiety, low energy, poor concentration, and even joint pain. Physically, low testosterone often leads to reduced muscle strength, increased body fat—especially in the midsection—and a diminished sense of well-being. These symptoms are common as men age, but they may also indicate a testosterone deficiency that could benefit from hormone therapy.
Testosterone plays a critical role across multiple systems in the body. In the brain, it supports cognitive function, memory, and mood, and influences energy and libido. In muscles and bones, testosterone fosters cell growth and strength while enhancing bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. It can also impact heart health, potentially reducing cardiovascular risks by decreasing body fat and possibly improving coronary artery function. Low testosterone levels can also disrupt sexual function, leading to a lower sex drive and erectile difficulties, which hormone therapy can help restore.
The potential benefits of testosterone therapy are vast. Physically, it can increase energy levels, lean body mass, bone density, and reduce the risk of metabolic and cardiovascular conditions. Sexually, men often experience improved libido, satisfaction, and performance. Psychologically, testosterone therapy may enhance mood, cognition, and overall mental clarity, supporting a renewed sense of vitality and well-being.
Men undergoing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can expect a range of treatment options tailored to their unique needs. Common delivery methods include injections, pellets, and creams. Injections involve regular administration of testosterone directly into the muscle, typically performed weekly or bi-weekly, providing a controlled release of hormones. Pellet therapy involves the insertion of small, bioidentical hormone pellets under the skin, often in the upper hip or buttocks. These pellets gradually release testosterone over several months, offering a consistent hormone level without the need for frequent administration. Creams are applied topically, providing flexibility in dosing and ease of use, though they require daily application for effective hormone delivery. Men can expect improvements in energy, mood, libido, muscle mass, and overall well-being with consistent treatment and monitoring.
Symptoms of hormonal imbalance in women can vary widely but often include both physical and emotional effects. Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, weight gain, decreased libido, irregular periods, and difficulty sleeping. Women may also experience mood swings, irritability, anxiety, depression, and trouble concentrating. Other signs can include changes in hair and skin, joint pain, and a general decrease in energy levels. Because these symptoms can be disruptive to daily life, it's essential to identify and address hormonal imbalances with the help of a healthcare professional.
Hormones in women are balanced through carefully tailored hormone replacement therapy (HRT) that aims to restore optimal levels of estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone—key hormones that significantly impact physical and emotional well-being. An imbalance in these hormones can lead to symptoms such as mood swings, anxiety, depression, hot flashes, fatigue, weight gain, and decreased libido. HRT seeks to address these imbalances by replenishing hormone levels to improve overall health and quality of life. Estrogen helps regulate mood, maintain bone density, and support cardiovascular health; testosterone contributes to energy, muscle strength, and sexual desire; and progesterone plays a role in mood stabilization, sleep, and reproductive health. By achieving balanced hormone levels, women can experience enhanced emotional stability, improved physical health, better energy levels, and a greater sense of well-being.
Women undergoing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can expect personalized treatment options designed to balance hormone levels and alleviate symptoms associated with menopause or hormonal imbalances. Common HRT methods include pellets, hormone replacement injections (HRI), creams, pills, and hormone-dispensing zones (HDZ). Pellet therapy involves small, bioidentical hormone pellets inserted under the skin, releasing hormones steadily over several months for consistent relief. HRI provides injections of hormones directly into the muscle, offering controlled release, typically administered on a scheduled basis. Creams are applied topically and absorbed through the skin, offering ease of use with daily application. Pills are an oral form of hormone therapy that can be taken daily, providing a straightforward approach. The HDZ method involves patches or topical gels that deliver hormones through the skin over time. Women can expect improvements in mood, energy, sleep, skin health, and overall well-being as their hormone levels stabilize with the right therapy plan and ongoing monitoring.
