Hormone therapy helps restore optimal hormone levels to support energy, mood, metabolism, sleep, and overall wellness. At Vitality by Dr. Bago, we use advanced testing and personalized treatment plans to address hormonal imbalances in both men and women.
Hormone therapy may help individuals experiencing fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, low libido, menopause symptoms, low testosterone, or other signs of hormonal imbalance.
Personalized hormone optimization to help you regain energy, confidence, and vitality.
Both men and women experiencing symptoms of hormonal decline or imbalance are candidates for hormone therapy. This includes women navigating perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause, men experiencing low testosterone or andropause, and patients of any age dealing with thyroid, adrenal, or reproductive hormone imbalances. Hormone therapy is also used proactively by those focused on healthy aging and long-term performance.
Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as the hormones your body produces naturally, which allows them to interact with receptors more predictably than synthetic alternatives. Many patients who did not tolerate conventional HRT well find bioidentical therapy significantly easier to adjust to. That said, safety depends on proper dosing, correct delivery method, and ongoing monitoring, not on the label alone.
There is no fixed answer. Some patients use BHRT for a defined period to manage a specific transition, such as menopause. Others continue long-term because the benefits to energy, cognition, bone density, and cardiovascular health are meaningful and ongoing. We reassess regularly and adjust or discontinue based on how your body responds and what your goals are.
Absolutely. Testosterone levels in men decline gradually from the mid-30s onward. Low testosterone affects energy, body composition, mental sharpness, mood, and sexual function in ways that are often mistaken for normal aging. Male hormone replacement therapy addresses these changes directly and can produce significant improvements in quality of life.
Hormone replacement therapy typically refers to restoring hormones that have dropped significantly, often in menopause or andropause. Hormone optimization takes a broader view, aiming to bring all relevant hormone levels to the range where you function best, not just to a minimum acceptable threshold. Both use similar tools, but the goal with optimization is performance and well-being, not just symptom relief.
