Hormone deficiency can cause various undesirable signs and symptoms. As we age or due to medical conditions, our hormone levels may decline, leading to suboptimal functioning and quality of life. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are key to relieve deficiency signs and improve wellbeing.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) involves supplementing hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced in the body. BHRT can effectively treat deficiency signs when prescribed by a knowledgeable practitioner. Custom-compounded BHRT provides flexibility to tailor treatment to the individual.
At Renew Hormone Institute in Portage, our experienced medical providers offer cutting-edge testing, diagnosis, and BHRT programs for both women and men. We craft unique protocols to target each patient's needs and optimize results. Read on to learn more about hormone deficiency, BHRT benefits, and why Renew Hormone Institute should be your top choice for hormone balance care.
Detecting hormone deficiencies starts with understanding common signs and getting the right tests. Here are details on identifying shortfalls for key hormones:
Declining estrogen and progesterone underlie unpleasant perimenopause and menopause changes. Be alert for:
Lab testing can pinpoint reproductive hormone levels via blood, saliva, or urine samples. Tracking symptoms on calendars also provides useful insights.
Testosterone fuels vitality in women and men. Low testosterone or "low T" has widespread effects:
Blood tests help diagnose low T. However, some patients see improvements by trying T therapy for 3-6 weeks and monitoring symptom changes.
An underactive thyroid gland causes hypothyroidism. Watch for:
Thyroid blood tests check levels of thyroid-stimulating and thyroid hormones. Optimal treatment balances these within ideal ranges.
Deficiencies in growth hormone, melatonin, cortisol, and DHEA also occur. Renew Hormone Institute provides advanced assessments and options to correct shortfalls.
Tracking symptoms, getting the right tests at the right times, and working with an experienced hormone specialist are key to accurately diagnosing hormone imbalances. Renew Hormone Institute excels in all these areas.

Exercise – Incorporate both aerobic (e.g. walking, cycling) and resistance training (weights, resistance bands) 4-6 days/week. Even light activity daily provides benefits. Consult your provider before major exercise changes.
Stress Management – Make time for relaxing activities like deep breathing, yoga, mindfulness meditation, enjoyable hobbies, art, or music. Spend time outdoors, connect socially, and get enough sleep. Consider massage.
Preventive Care – Stay up to date on health screenings and vaccines. Make regular wellness visits to update health history and medications lists. Establish care with quality dental and eye doctors.
