Hormone therapy involves supplementing hormones that are lacking or imbalanced in the body. It can provide relief from unpleasant deficiency signs and offer a variety of health benefits when custom prescribed by a qualified provider.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a common type of treatment used to relieve symptoms of menopause in women and andropause in men. However, balancing hormones can benefit patients of all ages and genders.
At Optimal Hormone Wellness Center in Parkland, we specialize in precision hormone therapy to help patients feel their best. Our experienced medical staff personalize treatment plans to target each patient's specific needs and goals.
The first step toward successful hormone therapy is getting the right diagnostic tests. We offer a variety of lab screenings to check levels of key hormones like estrogen, testosterone, thyroid hormones, cortisol, and more.
Hormone tests can reveal deficiencies or excesses contributing to unpleasant signs and symptoms. Common issues caused by hormonal imbalances include:
Based on each patient's lab results and symptoms, our practitioners can determine the best treatment plan.
We create tailored hormone therapy protocols designed to restore balance, alleviate deficiency signs, and help patients feel their best. Treatment plans can include:
TRT involves supplementing testosterone via injections, gels, patches, or pellets to boost energy, muscle mass, strength, cognitive function, and more in men and women.
Supplementing estrogen and progesterone helps relieve menopause symptoms like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, low libido, and bone loss in women.
We prescribe thyroid medications including levothyroxine and liothyronine to relieve hypothyroidism symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, and feeling cold.
Supporting healthy cortisol rhythms can reduce stress, balance energy levels, regulate appetite and weight, improve sleep, and more.
Growth hormone helps build muscle, burn fat, enhance skin quality, support energy levels, immunity, heart health, and much more.
We continually monitor patients' lab results, symptom changes, side effects (if any), and general wellbeing to ensure optimal treatment outcomes over months and years. The goal is for each patient to sustain lifelong hormone balance and vitality.
Left unchecked for too long, hormone deficiencies and excesses can negatively impact nearly every aspect of health. That's why seeking timely evaluation and hormone treatment is so crucial.
Potential repercussions of prolonged hormone imbalances include increased risk for:
By detecting and addressing hormonal issues early on, patients may be able to reduce their likelihood of developing these and other complex health conditions later in life.
Optimal Hormone Wellness Center offers accessible care with little to no wait times for new patient appointments or test results. We understand the pressing need to get hormone levels back on track, which is why we expedite diagnosis and treatment initiation without compromising quality.
Hormone therapy can help treat distressing menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats. Interestingly, research shows it may also improve mood and thinking ability in some women, likely by preserving crucial estrogen effects in the brain. More studies are needed, but this suggests hormone therapy could have previously overlooked brain benefits for some.

Unlike harsh synthetic hormones, clean, plant-based bioidenticals are gentle on the body and ideal for long-term use.
Research confirms bioidentical hormones:
For optimal safety, effectiveness and tolerability, Optimal Hormone Wellness Center only prescribes natural bioidentical hormone therapy. We avoid riskier synthetic preparations as well as “compounded” hormones with questionable potency and purity.
Hormone therapy addresses biochemical deficiencies at their root cause. However, supporting healthy lifestyle factors maximizes treatment results. Our clinicians provide customized diet, exercise, sleep and stress reduction guidance based on each patient’s needs. We may recommend:
Choosing organic produce, grass-fed meats, wild-caught seafood, nuts/seeds, antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, and avoiding sugar, excess carbs, processed foods and alcohol can balance weight, energy, blood sugar and hormones.
Aim for 30-60 minutes daily of heart-pumping, muscle-building movement balanced with relaxing restorative activities. Supporting circulation, bone density, muscle tone, cardiovascular health, immunity and mood stability.
Prioritize 7-9 hours nightly, ideally between 10pm-6am. Turn off screens 1-2 hours before bed, make your bedroom cool, dark and quiet, avoid caffeinated beverages after 2pm, establish a calming pre-bedtime routine like gentle yoga, reading or meditation. Support healthy cortisol rhythms for optimal health.
Make time for relationships, hobbies, relaxation practices like breathwork, massage, nature immersion, talk therapy and spiritual connection. Learning resilience helps maintain perspective during life’s inevitable challenges.
While we treat the physiological components of hormone imbalance with precision therapy, we recognize lifestyle interventions boost results. Our team helps each patient shift toward sustainable healthy habits to support their best self now and always.
