Symptoms of an imbalance may include hot flashes, insomnia, irritability, memory loss, fatigue, low energy, mood swings, dry skin, vaginal dryness, decreased libido, and erectile dysfunction. Decrease or loss of immune system responses, slow or incomplete healing after a sprain, strain or related musculoskeletal injury, muscle aches, loss of bone density, blood pressure changes, increased blood sugar levels, constipation and an overall feeling that you “just don’t feel right” can all be symptoms of hormone imbalance.
When approaching hormonal balance and wellness, Rejuv Medical recognizes that male and female sex hormones, thyroid function, insulin production, and adrenal stress can all play a role when it comes to an balance of the entire hormonal system. The interrelation of hormones mean that the over or under production of any hormone can adversely affect another hormone level or effectiveness.
Abnormal adrenal function can influence: energy, bone health, immune system responses, sleep quality, healing, pain threshold, skin regeneration, thyroid function, muscle and joint health.
Our management of these symptoms uses a full body medical approach. The use of pharmaceutical grade supplements and physician prescriptives allow the body to re-pattern and supply the elements necessary to balance the system according to the test findings.
Bioidentical hormones are prescribed if indicated. Treatment plans include lifestyle changes regarding nutrition, weight management, physical activity and stress management. Making these adjustments assists the body in healing and repair. Ultimately this allows the individual to be responsible for their health. The treatments used are scientifically based and validated in current medical literature.
Bioidentical hormones are plant based hormones with a chemical structure identical to human hormones produced by the body. Men and women have the same hormones but are differently proportioned by gender. Using bioidentical hormones allows individualization of dosage to meet the needs of the body at the lowest possible dosage.
A comprehensive metabolic and endocrine evaluation is done to address concerns and symptoms while taking into consideration medical conditions, current medications and supplements. Saliva testing may be used to evaluate current hormone levels and body demands. Saliva testing provides information regarding the hormones available at a cellular level versus what is in the blood levels. Blood testing may be indicated for further evaluation.
The goal of treatment is to provide support for individuals to achieve and sustain optimal health, and highest level of function possible.
Our Approach
In an individualized approach like the one we use at Rejuv Medical, patients are prescribed precise dosages of bio-identical hormones based upon their specific and particular needs. Nutritional supplementation may be needed to aid the body in balancing its process depending on lab results. The hormones, prescribed by the doctor, are then custom created especially for you at a compounding pharmacy. We will follow your progress and help you obtain your desired results. Our goal is to get positive results with the lowest possible dose. This applies to both hormones and nutritional supplements.
