While Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) has boomed in popularity over the last decade due to the positive changes so many have experienced, most people still have little to no knowledge about HRT.

At Fit MD, we serve two types of patients for our Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) in Westminster & Wheat Ridge:

  • Men or women suffering from the symptoms of an imbalance in the body’s hormones and need HRT to get back to optimal levels.
  • Men or women who are performing at a very high level physically, mentally, and emotionally and whose goal is to maintain a level of excellence well into their extended futures.

Regardless of which category you fall into, we can design a program to meet your specific needs.  By using our 4-Pillar system, we can work with your genetics and lifestyle to Live Optimized through Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) in Westminster & Wheat Ridge.

4. Customized Treatment Program

When it comes to HRT, there are lots of medications that can be used to help you Live Optimized.  By analyzing the information learned from your first 3 Pillars, we’ll have all the information we need to create the very best, most customized plan possible for you.

To help our patients Live Optimized through Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) in Westminster & Wheat Ridge, there are multiple hormones that are evaluated for treatment.  The first to be checked are those most commonly imbalanced and that when treated, can show remarkable changes within just a few weeks to a couple of months of starting care.  Here is an overview of the most common hormones we check at FitMD and what those hormones do to help your function at your best:

Estrogen is present in both males and females but in females, the levels are much more dominant as this hormone is responsible for female sexual reproductive health.  There are (3) types of estrogen with one (Estrone) present only after menopause.  Imbalances in estrogen can cause many symptoms that relate to sexual health, weight gain, emotional health, and skin health.

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is used in males to assist with natural testosterone production.  When included as part of a testosterone replacement therapy protocol, HCG is injected (3) days following testosterone is taken by the patient.  This allows testosterone levels to remain consistent throughout the week…the testosterone injections introduce external testosterone, and the HCG stimulates the body to create its own testosterone.

Gonadorelin, like HCG, is used to assist males in the natural production of testosterone.  Gonadorelin is an alternative to HCG and is administered by injection.

Progesterone works in tandem with estrogen to maintain reproductive health in females.  This hormone is released by the ovaries and is closely tied to a woman’s menstrual cycle and during pregnancy.

Testosterone, while present in low levels in women is the dominant sex hormone in men.  This hormone has a direct impact on sexual health, muscle mass, bone mass, fat mass, and even emotional health in both men and women.

Thyroid hormones are a group of hormones produced by the thyroid gland.  These hormones regulate metabolism, which is the body’s ability to break down food, convert it to energy, store vs. burn fat, and regulate temperature.

As part of a complete Westminster or Wheat Ridge HRT program, one component that patients can benefit greatly from is a specific usage of a specialty protein called Peptide Therapy.  Peptides are molecules that signal cells within the body to perform very specific actions.  Some of these actions include things like muscle growth, the reduction of inflammation, the breakdown of visceral fat (weight loss), and anti-aging processes.

For Women

Hormone Replacement Therapy

You’ve likely heard advertisements for Men’s Low T therapy on the radio, Internet, and TV by now. Ready for a little secret? Low testosterone affects WOMEN TOO!

The fact is, women are affected by hormonal imbalance just as often as men (if not more so). At Fit MD, hormones are our specialty! Our hormone specialists for women in Westminster and Wheat Ridge thrive in finding the perfect balance in testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and thyroid levels so that you can look and feel your very best.

For Men

Low Testosterone Therapy

Testosterone is essentially the hormone that makes a man, a man.

It’s a natural hormone which can serve as a catalyst for building muscle mass, increasing sex drive, and providing men with the energy level needed to live healthy, productive lives. After the age of 30 (sometimes as soon as age 20), most men begin to experience a gradual decrease in their testosterone levels which can cause several health problems.

The good news? Testosterone replacement therapy can help! Visit our HRT for men clinic in Westminster  and Wheat Ridge to get started.

For Men

Erectile Dysfunction

Most men shudder at the mere thought of the term erectile dysfunction (ED). Just two letters, when used as an abbreviation, have a significant impact on your life and those around you.

The term erectile dysfunction can be incredibly misleading. When there is an imbalance of hormone levels at the root of your ED, it’s more of a cause-and-effect type of situation than a dysfunction of your anatomy.

FAQs About Hormone Replacement Therapy

What are signs you need hormone replacement therapy?
A good indication that you may need hormone replacement therapy is if you experience symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, inability to concentrate, weight gain or loss, changes in libido, hot flashes, night sweats, or an overall “Blah” feeling.

Can hormone replacement therapy help with weight loss?
Yes! Hormone replacement therapy can be a great way to support weight loss as it helps to regulate and restore balance in the hormones that are part of metabolism and weight regulation. While hormone replacement therapy is not a substitute for proper nutrition and exercise, it can be beneficial in promoting weight loss in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle.

Hormones that can affect metabolism, such as thyroid hormones and testosterone, can promote weight loss by regulating hunger cravings and increasing energy levels. Additionally, hormone replacement therapy can reduce insulin resistance, leading to weight loss.

Are birth control pills considered hormone replacement therapy?
Birth control pills contain hormones that can help prevent pregnancy by regulating ovulation and thickening cervical mucus. However, they are not considered hormone replacement therapy. HRT focuses on treating symptoms related to aging and hormonal imbalances.

What are the benefits of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?
Bioidentical hormones can provide numerous benefits, including improved libido, better sleep quality, a decreased risk of heart disease and diabetes, and enhanced well-being…all helping you to Live Optimized. They can also help reduce the risk of osteoporosis and other age-related diseases.

Our Process

1.  Schedule Your Free Consultation
Hormone therapy begins with a consultation with the Fit MD; this initial consultation should take about a half hour. You will provide the doctor with your medical history, an overview of your lifestyle and discuss your symptoms. This information along with a quick medical exam will help the doctor determine if hormone therapy is right for you.

2.  We Will Test Your Hormone Levels
If at the end of your initial consultation you decide to move forward, the doctor will take a sample of your blood to be sent to our labs to measure the estrogen, progesterone and testosterone levels in your bloodstream.

3.  Evaluation & Plan of Action
It’s go time! Your Fit MD clinician will review your lab results with you and let you know whether or not you are a candidate for hormone replacement therapy. If you are, he or she will provide you with your hormone therapy medication and help you establish a customized, treatment schedule. You will then begin your treatment plan and start moving toward a healthier, younger-feeling YOU!
