The human body relies on a complex network of hormones to regulate critical bodily functions and maintain good health. Hormone deficiency can occur when the body does not produce adequate amounts of key hormones, leading to unpleasant symptoms and increased risk for certain diseases. At Renewal Hormone Clinic in Sylvania, we specialize in hormone therapy to help both men and women restore optimal hormonal balance.
Hormones are chemical messengers secreted by glands in the endocrine system. Different hormones play key roles in regulating metabolism, growth and development, sexual function, reproduction, mood and more. Some examples include:
When hormone levels fall too low, you may start experiencing deficiency symptoms specific to which hormones are affected.
The symptoms of hormone deficiency can vary greatly depending on factors like your age, sex, and which hormone(s) are involved. However, some general signs to watch out for include:
In both sexes: fatigue, low libido, weight gain, insomnia, depression, hot flashes, night sweats
In women: irregular periods, reduced fertility, vaginal dryness
In men: erectile dysfunction, reduced muscle mass, enlarged breast tissue
If you are experiencing any persistent issues that negatively impact your quality of life, hormone testing can help uncover a potential deficiency. The sooner it is detected, the sooner treatment can begin for relief of your symptoms.
Once a hormone deficiency is identified through testing, we can develop a customized hormone replacement therapy (HRT) plan to get your levels back into the healthy range. The goal is to supplement the hormones that your body can no longer adequately produce on its own because of aging, surgery, medical conditions or other causes.
Some of the most common hormones we provide replacement therapy for include:
There are multiple options for getting the hormones you need, including:
We'll help determine which method is best suited for your body and lifestyle.

While hormone therapy provides the foundation, certain lifestyle measures also promote hormone health:
Eat a balanced diet emphasizing complex carbs, lean proteins, healthy fats, and lots of fruits and vegetables. Key nutrients like zinc, magnesium, selenium and vitamin D aid hormone production and use.
Aim for 30 minutes per day of activity like walking, strength training and yoga. Exercise helps moderate weight, reduce stress, improve sleep quality and support hormone balance.
Chronic stress raises cortisol which can disrupt optimal testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and thyroid hormone levels. Make time for stress relievers like meditation, massage and social connection.
Adopting healthy lifestyle habits, along with your customized HRT treatment protocol, helps your hormones function at their best. Our clinicians provide in-depth guidance to empower your success.
