A hormone imbalance occurs when there are too much or too little of a certain hormone in the body. Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate many essential functions like growth, metabolism, reproduction, sleep, and mood.
Some common signs of a hormonal imbalance include:
Hormone levels can be thrown off balance by various factors like stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, underlying health conditions, or simply aging.
For example, perimenopause and menopause in women are marked by declining estrogen levels which can lead to troublesome symptoms like hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and vaginal dryness. Low testosterone in men over 50 can also cause issues like low energy, reduced muscle mass, and emotional changes.
Diagnosing hormone imbalances usually begins with blood or saliva tests to check levels of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormone (T3 and T4), cortisol, and DHEA. If imbalances are found, bioidentical hormone therapy may help restore optimal levels.

Their experienced clinicians provide comprehensive lab testing, personalized treatment plans, and ongoing monitoring to help both women and men suffering from hormonal dysfunction.
Their BHRT therapies come in topical gels, creams, pellets, patches and more to safely replicate the body’s natural hormones. This leads to better absorption and less side effects than synthetic hormones.
In addition to BHRT, Harmony Hormone Clinic also offers nutritional support, stress management tools, and lifestyle coaching as part of their holistic approach to hormone balance and wellbeing.
