What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Hormone Replacement Therapy, commonly referred to as HRT, is a scientifically validated and medically supervised treatment designed to restore and rebalance the body’s natural hormone levels. Hormones play a crucial role in virtually every function of the human body; they regulate metabolism, mood, energy, sexual health, sleep, and even cognitive performance. However, as we age, our hormone production naturally begins to decline. This reduction can lead to a variety of physical, emotional, and sexual health symptoms that affect both men and women.

Hormone Replacement Therapy helps correct these imbalances by replenishing essential hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and thyroid hormones, bringing the body back into equilibrium. By carefully restoring these key hormones, HRT enhances energy levels, improves mood, strengthens mental clarity, increases libido, and supports overall health and longevity.

At WellGen Health, we understand that hormonal balance is essential for vibrant living. Our clinic offers personalized hormone replacement therapy programs that are carefully customized to each individual’s unique biology, lifestyle, and health goals. We use advanced diagnostics and evidence-based treatment protocols to create a plan that works in harmony with your body; not against it.

Understanding Hormones and Their Role in the Body

Hormones are chemical messengers produced by glands in the endocrine system, including the thyroid, adrenal glands, ovaries, and testes. They circulate through the bloodstream, controlling nearly every bodily process; from metabolism and reproduction to mood regulation and immune function. When hormone levels are optimal, your body operates like a finely tuned system. But when production declines or becomes imbalanced, even small shifts can lead to significant health changes.

For women, this decline is often most noticeable during perimenopause and menopause, when levels of estrogen and progesterone drop sharply. For men, hormonal decline tends to occur more gradually in a process called andropause, marked by reduced testosterone levels. Both experiences can lead to fatigue, mood changes, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, and cognitive difficulties.

Hormone Replacement Therapy aims to restore these hormones to their optimal levels; helping individuals regain vitality, stability, and overall well-being.

Types of Hormones Used in HRT

At WellGen Health, we specialize in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT); a modern approach that uses plant-derived hormones chemically identical to those naturally produced by your body. Because these bioidentical hormones match your natural molecular structure, they are more easily recognized and utilized by your cells, providing a safer and more natural response than synthetic alternatives.

Common hormones used in our programs include:

  • Estrogen – Helps regulate menstrual cycles, mood, bone health, and cardiovascular function in women.
  • Progesterone – Balances the effects of estrogen, promotes calmness, and supports reproductive health.
  • Testosterone – Essential for both men and women, testosterone supports muscle tone, libido, energy, and cognitive sharpness.
  • DHEA and Pregnenolone – Precursors that assist in the production of other vital hormones and promote stress resilience.
  • Thyroid Hormones (T3 & T4) – Regulate metabolism, energy, and body temperature.

Each individual’s needs are unique, and our specialists determine which hormones; and what dosages; are appropriate based on your specific symptoms and lab results.

Who Can Benefit from Hormone Replacement Therapy?

HRT is beneficial for both men and women experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance, regardless of age. Many individuals seek hormone therapy because they notice persistent fatigue, mood changes, reduced sexual desire, or difficulty maintaining a healthy weight; even with proper diet and exercise.

Women often benefit from HRT during menopause and perimenopause, as declining estrogen and progesterone levels can trigger symptoms such as:

  • Hot flashes and night sweats
  • Mood swings and irritability
  • Weight gain and slowed metabolism
  • Vaginal dryness or pain during intimacy
  • Sleep disturbances and anxiety

Men, on the other hand, may experience low testosterone or andropause, which can lead to:

  • Loss of muscle mass and strength
  • Fatigue and low energy
  • Decreased libido and sexual performance issues
  • Mental fog or difficulty concentrating
  • Depression, irritability, or motivation loss

By restoring hormones to youthful, optimal levels, Hormone Replacement Therapy can dramatically improve how you feel, look, and perform every day.

How Hormone Replacement Therapy Works

At WellGen Health, our approach begins with a comprehensive evaluation. During your initial consultation, we conduct in-depth lab testing, a detailed review of your medical history, and an analysis of your symptoms and goals. Using this data, our medical team develops a personalized HRT plan that fits your body’s exact needs.

HRT can be administered through several delivery methods, depending on your treatment plan and preference. Common options include:

  • Topical creams or gels that are absorbed through the skin
  • Transdermal patches that provide steady hormone release
  • Oral tablets or capsules for convenient daily use
  • Hormone pellets inserted under the skin for consistent, long-term delivery
  • Injections for rapid and controlled hormone absorption

Throughout your treatment, our specialists closely monitor your progress through follow-up appointments and periodic lab testing. Adjustments are made as needed to ensure your hormone levels remain balanced and your body continues to respond positively.
