Hormone therapy (HT), also known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT), involves the administration of hormones to supplement low hormone levels and relieve unpleasant symptoms of hormone deficiency. HT can significantly improve quality of life when hormone levels decline due to aging or other medical conditions.
At New Beginnings HRT Clinic in Perry, we offer customized hormone therapy plans to help patients achieve hormonal balance. With our state-of-the-art facility and experienced medical team, New Beginnings HRT Clinic provides safe, effective treatment tailored to each patient's unique needs.
There are several reasons why patients might consider hormone therapy:
There are various types of bioidentical and synthetic hormone therapies we offer at New Beginnings HRT Clinic:
Medical studies confirm hormone replacement therapy (HRT) provides significant benefits when hormones are low. Potential advantages include:
Hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal atrophy, erectile dysfunction, chronic fatigue, muscle loss, and other issues caused by hormonal decline are effectively treated with properly administered bioidentical hormones. Most patients report major symptom relief and improved quality of life within 3-6 weeks after starting therapy.
Estrogen and testosterone play essential roles regulating bone density. Supplementing these hormones reduces bone loss associated with hormonal changes in aging women and men.
Healthy levels of estrogen and testosterone support heart health by positively influencing cholesterol profiles, blood pressure, circulation, and other cardiovascular functions.
Imbalanced hormone levels often manifest in anxiety, depression, mood swings, memory lapses, and diminished concentration/focus. Balancing hormones, especially thyroid, testosterone, and estrogen, enhances mental health and cognition.
Proper testosterone levels coupled with exercise builds lean muscle mass in both women and men. Thyroid hormones also support a healthy metabolism. These effects help elevate basal metabolic rate resulting in easier weight/fat loss.
Sex hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and DHEA directly influence sexual desire and performance. Optimizing these hormones significantly improves libido, sexual response, and overall sexual health.
Further benefits of hormone therapy include increased energy levels, healthier skin/hair, strengthened immune system response, improved sleep quality, and more. Patients report an improved overall sense of vitality and wellbeing.
There are minor risks associated with hormone replacement therapy. However, for most patients the benefits far outweigh potential risks when working with an experienced medical team to ensure proper hormone delivery and dosing protocols. We closely monitor all patients at New Beginnings HRT Clinic to maximize results and safety.

Identifying deficient or excessive hormone levels begins with understanding your symptoms and diagnostic testing. Here is an overview of this crucial first step:
Although symptoms may develop slowly over months and years, keymarkers of hormonal imbalance include:
Tracking symptoms and their timing/intensity helps us determine likely deficient hormones. Do not hesitate to ask us questions or report new symptoms at any point.
After a medical history and physical examination, we typically order lab tests to measure hormone levels. Testing may include:
Additional specialized tests like genetic assays, body composition analysis, Cardinal Sleep Scale and various stress assessments provide further insight into hormonebalance. We leave no stone unturned when evaluating your current status.
Our clinical team analyzes your test results along with reported symptoms to determine optimal therapies. A detailed consultation explains our analysis, recommended treatment options, set reasonable expectations, and address all your questions.

Accurate hormonal assessments set the stage for life-changing treatment. Our thoughtful precision testing removes all guesswork so your therapy plan targets the right hormones, in the right amounts to help you feel your best fast.
Estrogen therapy may help improve verbal memory and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease in postmenopausal women. Multiple studies have found that women who take estrogen after menopause tend to perform better on tests of verbal memory compared to women who don't take any hormones.
The goal of HT is restoring depleted hormones to healthy functional ranges to resolve unpleasant symptoms. This necessitates choosing efficient modalities best suited for each patient’s needs and lifestyle.
Our clinicians will explain options and partner with you decide optimal therapies. Here is an overview of common delivery methods:
These plant-derived hormones match human hormones on a molecular level, interacting smoothly with hormone receptors. Common forms include:
New Beginnings HRT Clinic specializes in precision-dosed bioidentical hormone pellets for steady-state dosing lasting four to six months. Contact us to see if you are eligible for this convenient method to stabilize hormone levels long-term.
We utilize trusted brands of FDA-approved medications when the superior fit over compounded bioidenticals. These include:

We go beyond simply ordering tests and writing scripts - New Beginnings HRT Clinic delivers truly integrative hormone therapy in Perry!
If you decide hormone replacement is right for you after thorough consultations and testing, here is a general timeline of how therapy progresses:
The first weeks involve elevating depleted hormones into ideal ranges. You will notice rapid improvements in many deficiency symptoms. We see you frequently to ensure your body responds as expected during this period. Testing is repeated to confirm hormone levels normalize without adverse reactions.
Dosage adjustments happen during this phase until lab work and reported symptom relief align with treatment goals. Patience is needed when finding perfect dosing, but most patients see major benefits within a few months.
Once hormones stabilize at optimal levels, this phase aims to preserve balance while consolidating treatment gains. Patients transition to less frequent follow up visits. We monitor you closely and order labs every 3-6 months to detect any changes prompting modifications.
The maintenance period sustains increased vitality, resolves lingering deficiency signs, and prevents recurrence of unpleasant symptoms due to hormone declines. Nutrition, exercise and stress-reduction techniques you learn now help sustain hormonal equilibrium.
With our meticulous protocols perfected by years of experience, patients begin feeling better fast, with further improvements over 3-6 months. Discomfort from hormone imbalance fades away when you entrust your treatment to New Beginnings HRT Clinic!
Here are a few other points about starting hormone replacement therapy:
New Beginnings HRT Clinic will answer all your questions about treatment process and timelines before beginning your individualized hormone therapy journey!
Ignoring persistent signs/symptoms of hormonal dysfunction poses considerable health risks best avoided through proper testing and treatment.
Just as gas tanks eventually empty running on fumes, major hormone glands (ovaries, thyroid, adrenals, testes) often exhaust over time without treatment. Crashes cause severe fatigue, low immunity, muscle wasting, digestion issues, mental impairment and additional misery. Patients report “surviving rather than thriving” in this state.
Replacing depleted hormones before glands fail enables stable energy, metabolism, strength and cognition - preventing this unpleasant scenario! We catch falling hormones in time at New Beginnings HRT Clinic.
Osteoporosis is a silent disease gradually thinning bone mineral density until fractures occur. Estrogen and testosterone deficiencies severely deplete bone integrity over years if untreated. Once porous bones develop, fractures become increasingly likely even from minor falls or trauma. Spines and hips fracture most often, greatly reducing mobility and independence.
Optimizing sex hormones significantly slows osteoporosis progression to maintain strong active bones. New Beginnings HRT Clinic reduces fracture risks through monitoring bone density and hormone treatment.
Imbalanced hormone levels directly accelerate brain aging, impairing memory, processing speed and executive functions. Continual deficits advance neurodegeneration, instigating dementia and dependency. Research confirms estrogen and testosterone deficits contribute to Alzheimer’s disease later in life.
Balancing hormones reduces cognitive decline risks by supporting healthy brains and sharp minds throughout aging. Our patients think faster and live smarter guiding treatment plans.
Deficient sex hormones provoke atherosclerosis, elevate blood pressure/glucose and create thrombosis risks - inspiring heart attacks and strokes. Thyroid hormones directly impact cholesterol profiles and heart/vessel function. Well-balanced endocrine systems protect against various cardiovascular diseases. New Beginnings HRT Clinic achieves this through monitoring labs and optimizing hormones long-term.
InSummary, allowing chronic hormone imbalance to persist leads to poorer physical health and brain aging. At New Beginnings HRT Clinic our detailed testing and expert treatment prevents the misery of hormonal crashes. We restore patient vitality, independence and quality of life by catching falling hormone levels before lasting damage develops!
Sustaining hormonal balance long-term poses challenges with conventional delivery methods like gels/creams and injections. Daily applications cause peaks and troughs whileshots spike levels initially then drop off quickly. Frequent dosing gets tiresome as well.
Innovative bioidentical hormone pellet implants overcome these issues through steady-state dosing lasting four to six months convenient for busy patients.
Bio-identical estradiol, testosterone or combo hormone pellets release a steady flow of hormones as they dissolve under the skin. Levels build to optimal ranges then hold steady before slowly declining around the four month mark as pellets fully dissolve.
Lasting metabolic benefits continue a month or two longer before patients need a quick 10 minute follow up implant procedure to restore hormone levels another four to six months. Most patients receive pellets two to three times per year to maintain continuity of treatment.
Reasons bioidentical hormone pellets may suit some patients better than other methods include: - Steady hormone levels without peaks and valleys - Convenience of dosing just two to three times per year - Avoidance of frequent patch/cream applications or repeated injections - Excellent patient compliance since pellets cannot be forgotten - Sustained symptom relief and health benefits without hormonal fluctuations - Quick, virtually painless 10 minute placement procedure
We carefully screen patients to ensure those opting for pellet therapy will comply with needed blood testing/follow up and have no issues with pellet placement or retention. Ultimately bioidentical hormone pellets provide an excellent no hassle option for customized treatment.
Discuss with your New Beginnings HRT Clinician whether hormone pellet therapy aligns with your lifestyle, preferences and treatment goals for optimized convenience.
We offer best-in-class pellet therapy with highly trained technicians smoothly handling your implant placements. Just two to three quick visits per year sustain improved wellbeing from head to toe!
Hormone therapy works best alongside nutritional and lifestyle modifications that support the endocrine system. We provide personalized guidance on diet, activity, stress reduction and targeted supplementation at New Beginnings HRT Clinic helping patients achieve the full benefits of treatment.
Here is an overview of lifestyle factors strongly influencing hormone health:
Both aerobic and strength training promote hormonal balance. Staying active stimulates testosterone and growth hormone while reducing cortisol. Building muscle boosts metabolic rate aiding weight loss and body fat reduction. For best effects, perform some exercise most days of the week incorporating cardio, weights/resistance bands and flexibility training.
