HORMONES
BALANCING VITALITY
At Herzog Vitality Center, we understand the pivotal role hormones play in maintaining your health and zest for life. Our dedicated team is committed to guiding you back to a state of balanced well-being through personalized hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Understanding Hormone Therapy
What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment designed to restore hormonal balance in your body. As we age or experience certain health conditions, our hormone production can become disrupted, leading to various symptoms and health issues.
Our therapy aims to optimize hormone levels, improving overall health, well-being, and quality of life. By using bioidentical hormones, which are structurally identical to those naturally produced by your body, we can effectively address hormonal imbalances with minimal side effects.
Types of Hormone Delivery Methods
- Quick-acting injections
- Steady-releasing pellets
- Convenient oral tablets
- Skin patches for constant hormone supply
Our team will collaborate with you to find the most effective and comfortable HRT approach, ensuring it integrates smoothly into your life and effectively addresses your needs.
Key Hormones and Their Functions
Estrogen
Crucial for women, particularly during menopause. Replacing estrogen can help manage common menopausal symptoms and contribute to long-term health.
Key Benefits:
Progesterone
Often used in combination with estrogen, progesterone is important for maintaining menstrual health and protecting against certain health issues.
Key Benefits:
Testosterone
While commonly associated with men, testosterone is significant for both sexes. In men experiencing andropause, testosterone replacement can help improve energy, libido, and more.

Understanding Menopause and Andropause
Menopause
Menopause marks a significant change in hormone production, usually occurring in women's late 40s to early 50s. It signals the end of menstrual cycles, with a decline in estrogen and progesterone.
Common Symptoms:

- Mood fluctuations
- Changes in sexual function
- Sleep disturbances
Andropause
Andropause in men, often starting in the mid-50s, involves a gradual decrease in testosterone. These changes can affect everything from mood to metabolism, impacting overall quality of life.
Common Symptoms:
