Hormone therapy is the use of hormones to treat common health conditions caused by hormone imbalance or deficiency. Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, thyroid hormone, melatonin, and others regulate many vital bodily processes and maintain overall health and wellbeing. When our bodies don't produce enough of these hormones due to aging, stress, medical conditions, or other factors, supplementation through hormone therapy can provide life-changing benefits.
Hormonal balance is essential for physical and mental health. Imbalances can negatively impact energy levels, sleep quality, sexual function, fertility, weight management, mood, concentration, memory, and much more. Furthermore, deficiencies left untreated over long periods may lead to more serious conditions like heart disease, osteoporosis, and cognitive decline.
Restoring optimal hormone levels through therapies customized to your needs can profoundly improve quality of life. The experienced medical providers at Hormone Health Institute utilize advanced testing and cutting-edge therapies to help patients regain health, vitality and an overall sense of wellbeing.

Our compassionate medical staff includes board-certified specialists and experts in customized bioidentical hormone therapy, thyroid disorders, men’s health, regenerative treatments and more.
We offer patients state-of-the-art testing, innovative therapies and integrative care customized to your unique needs. At Hormone Health Institute you can expect:
The first step in hormone therapy is identifying any imbalances through comprehensive lab testing and analysis. Hormone Health Institute offers specialized hormone tests to accurately evaluate levels of key hormones including:
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone. It plays a crucial role in sex drive, muscle growth, fat distribution, bone density, mood regulation and cognitive function. Low testosterone (low T) is increasingly common in aging men but may also affect younger men due to chronic stress, obesity, and other lifestyle factors.
Untreated testosterone deficiency can negatively impact energy levels, sexual health, cardiovascular health, lean muscle mass, emotional wellbeing and more. Hormone Health Institute offers state-of-the-art testing and innovative treatments to help men optimize their testosterone levels and restore their vitality.
Estrogen is essential for physical and mental wellbeing in both women and men. It regulates the menstrual cycle and reproductive health in women. In men, estrogen works synergistically with testosterone to support bone, cardiovascular, reproductive and mental health.
Declining estrogen levels during perimenopause and menopause leads to symptoms like hot flashes, sleep disruption, vaginal atrophy, anxiety, fatigue and loss of interest in sex. Low estrogen at any age can result in heart disease, osteoporosis, weight gain, impaired cognition and mood changes.
Careful monitoring along with bioidentical estrogen therapy when indicated can provide tremendous symptom relief and protect long-term health.
The thyroid gland produces hormones that control metabolic rate, energy levels, body temperature, heart rate, digestive function, muscle control and more. An underactive thyroid gland leads to a condition called hypothyroidism with symptoms of unexplained weight gain, constant fatigue, intolerance to cold, constipation, dry skin and hair, impaired memory and more.
Left untreated, hypothyroidism can increase the risk for serious conditions like heart disease, infertility and neurological issues. Optimizing thyroid function is key for overall wellness. Hormone Health Institute provides specialized testing and innovative treatments for restoring healthy thyroid hormone levels.
Imbalances in hormones like progesterone, DHEA, melatonin, growth hormone and others can also profoundly impact health and quality of life. Hormone Health Institute conducts specialized tests to identify deficiencies in these key hormones and customizes treatment plans to restore optimal balance.
Accurately assessing hormone levels is crucial for developing the right treatment approach. Hormone Health Institute utilizes advanced testing methods offered by leading national reference labs as well as innovative technologies like dried urine testing for comprehensive hormone analysis.
The medical providers at Hormone Health Institute have extensive training and expertise in customized bioidentical hormone therapies, nutrition and lifestyle optimization, and cutting edge regenerative treatments to restore health at a cellular level.
Bioidentical hormone therapy utilizes lab-created hormones that are molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. This allows precision customization of treatment for each patient’s unique needs.
Made from plant sources, these natural hormones are extremely safe and very well tolerated as they biologically and genetically match human hormones. Hormone Health Institute providers expertly prescribe customized combinations, doses and delivery methods of bioidentical testosterone, estrogen, progesterone thyroid hormones and others based on each patient's lab testing, symptoms and treatment goals.
Integrating proper nutrition and lifestyle improvements can optimize the benefits of hormone therapies. The providers at Hormone Health Institute provide personalized guidance regarding diet, exercise, stress management and evidence-based supplements to address root causes of hormone imbalance and help patients achieve transformative results.
Hormone Health Institute also specializes in regenerative treatments utilizing the body's own healing mechanisms to renew health at a foundational level. Therapies like peptide injections, plasma rich platelets (PRP) and stem cell treatments harness growth factors and signaling molecules to stimulate cellular repair and regeneration for issues like injuries, hair loss, sexual dysfunction, heart disease and much more.
Combining hormone optimization with the latest regenerative treatments provides a comprehensive approach to restore vitality, health and an overall sense of wellbeing.
Some of the common conditions that can benefit from customized hormone therapies and integrative treatment approaches include:
Andropause, often called male menopause, involves testosterone and other hormone decline in aging men. Symptoms include low energy, depleted muscle mass, weight gain, poor sleep, low libido, erectile dysfunction, mood instability, cognitive issues and lack of motivation.
Restoring healthy testosterone levels combined with lifestyle changes provides tremendous benefits for vitality, fitness, sexual function, cardiac health and overall wellbeing. The expert medical team at Hormone Health Institute specializes in helping men successfully treat andropause through precision hormone therapies, nutrition guidance and leading-edge regenerative treatments when needed.
Menopause marks the end of a woman’s reproductive period involving substantial hormone fluctuations and decline. While menopause usually occurs naturally between the ages of 45-55, it may happen earlier due to surgery, chemotherapy or other factors.
Symptoms are caused by estrogen deficiency and can be highly disruptive including hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, irregular periods, trouble sleeping, weight gain, anxiety, brain fog, fatigue and lack of interest in sex.
Bioidentical estrogen and progesterone therapy along with individualized lifestyle guidance provides tremendous relief of symptoms while also addressing long term health. Hormone Health Institute’ caring, women’s health experts can help patients navigate menopause and beyond with grace, ease and optimism.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) - the inability to achieve and maintain an erection firm enough for sex, affects at least 30 million men in America. It has profound effects on a man’s self confidence, quality of life and relationships.
While ED becomes increasingly common for men as they age, it should not be considered merely a natural consequence of aging. Often it indicates an underlying hormone imbalance or health issue that needs to be addressed.
Low testosterone is a prevalent yet widely undiagnosed cause of ED. Expert hormone testing and precise testosterone therapy from Hormone Health Institute’ medical team restores sexual health safely and effectively without the need for medications like Viagra or Cialis for the vast majority of men.
As mentioned earlier, low or underactive thyroid function leads to a host of disruptive symptoms that greatly diminish quality of life. Left untreated, hypothyroidism also significantly increases the risk for serious conditions like heart disease, mood disorders and dementia.
Conversely, an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) causes issues like sudden weight loss, racing heart rate, tremors, anxiety and difficulty sleeping.
Restoring balance through proper thyroid testing and treatment is absolutely essential for overall health and preventing long term complications. The medical providers at Hormone Health Institute offer specialized expertise in precision thyroid testing and innovative therapies customized to each patient’s needs.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals match their physical appearance with their gender identity. Surprisingly, research shows it may also lead to changes in aspects of visual and verbal memory, spatial abilities, reaction times, and other cognitive functions, suggesting a link between sex hormones and brain processes beyond sex characteristics alone.
While advanced hormone testing and bioidentical therapies form the foundation of treatment, Hormone Health Institute’ holistic approach also integrates lifestyle and nutrition guidance for optimal long-term health.
Proper nutrition stabilization and reduction of carbohydrates, optimization of protein and healthy fats intake provides the building blocks for hormone production and balances blood sugar which helps regulate hormones. A diet high in processed foods, sugar and refined carbohydrates can negatively impact hormone levels. Our providers offer personalized nutrition plans optimized for your needs and health goals.
Regular exercise boosts hormone levels and sensitizes hormone receptors. Aerobic exercise combined with strength training provides ideal benefits. Our staff can recommend optimized exercise plans based on your age, fitness level and abilities. We also highlight locations in Sylvania for walking trails, gyms and recreation centers to make establishing an exercise habit convenient.
Chronic stress raises cortisol and contributes greatly to hormone imbalance through multiple pathways. Bringing stress levels down through smart time management, mindfulness practices, yoga, time in nature, massage and other activities supports the benefits of hormone therapy. Hormone Health Institute' staff understands the profound effects of stress and provides stress-busting resources and guidance.
Key micronutrients like zinc, magnesium, vitamin D and antioxidants provide cofactors necessary for optimal hormone production and function. Specific medicinal herbs and adaptogens also help improve hormone metabolism and response. Our providers may recommend individualized supplementation plans to complement hormone therapy.
Combining hormone optimization, nutrition, lifestyle improvements and cutting edge treatments offered by Hormone Health Institute provides the most comprehensive approach for improving symptoms, regaining health and enhancing quality of life.
Hormone Health Institute makes it convenient to get started with advanced hormone testing and customized treatment plans. We look forward to helping you look and feel your best again soon!
