Hormone Therapy at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine

Your hormones influence nearly every system in your body, from energy levels to mood and metabolism. Over time, these levels can shift due to age, medical history, and other individual health factors. When that happens, it can be difficult for your body to restore balance on its own. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Aurora involves the clinical use of hormones under the supervision of a licensed medical provider and is tailored to each patient based on medical evaluation and laboratory testing.

Treatment decisions are made in consultation with a provider and are based on a patient’s symptoms, goals, and overall health profile.

Treatment may be delivered through:

Intramuscular injections
Topical gel applications or creams
Oral capsules or pills

Growth Hormone Optimization

Growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland, an important part of our structure that influences almost every part of the body. When an individual has a growth hormone deficiency, their pituitary gland is not able to make enough growth hormone for the body. This can result in a variety of serious medical problems; however, growth hormone optimization can improve symptoms of this condition. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we treat growth hormone deficiency. These treatments are administered via injection underneath the skin, directly into the fat tissue.

When clinically appropriate, growth hormone therapy may be prescribed following a comprehensive medical assessment and laboratory testing. Treatment is individualized and typically administered by subcutaneous injection, which delivers the medication into the fatty tissue beneath the skin. Ongoing monitoring is used to assess response and adjust treatment as needed.
Patients considering growth hormone therapy should discuss potential risks, benefits, limitations, and alternatives with their healthcare provider to determine whether treatment is appropriate for their individual medical needs.

Testosterone Therapy for Men

For many men, the effects of aging are closely tied to hormonal changes. Testosterone levels may change over time and can vary based on health history and individual physiology. You may feel tired a lot more than you want, and your mood may be quite low. This is very often due to age-related fluctuating hormones, but the good news is that these hormones can be restored. Talk to a healthcare provider about hormone replacement for men.

The appropriate method, dosage, and duration of therapy are determined by a healthcare provider and may change over time with ongoing monitoring. Patients considering testosterone therapy should consult with their provider to discuss potential benefits, risks, alternatives, and whether treatment is appropriate for their individual situation.

How Your Treatment Plan Comes Together

Step 1: In-Depth Consultation

YYour first visit focuses on understanding your unique experience, your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. Your provider reviews your medical history and identifies potential indicators of hormonal imbalance. You’ll also gain insight into how hormones affect key areas like metabolism, energy, and overall performance. If needed, lab work is completed during this visit.

Step 2: Comprehensive Testing

Before therapy begins, you’ll undergo detailed lab testing tailored to your needs. These panels may include testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, DHEA, thyroid markers, A1c, CBC, CMP, and lipid profiles. This multi-marker approach allows your provider to evaluate your hormonal health more accurately.

Step 3: Tailored Treatment Design

Once your results are available, your provider creates a personalized plan based on your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. The goal is to address your specific needs rather than relying on generalized treatment models.

Step 4: Ongoing Optimization

Hormone therapy is continuously refined as your body responds. Follow-up visits are typically scheduled within 8 to 12 weeks, with adjustments made as needed. After stabilization, visits occur every three to six months. Ongoing support includes lab monitoring, symptom tracking, and direct access to your care team.

Hormone Therapy FAQs

How long does it take to start feeling better on hormone therapy?

Every patient is different. Your provider will work with you to ensure that your treatment plan is personalized, answer questions along the way, and monitor your experience over time.

Is hormone therapy safe?

Hormone therapy is safe when properly monitored and administered under medical supervision. You receive bioidentical hormones that match the molecular structure of the hormones that your body naturally produces, allowing a more physiologic and predictable response. Your provider uses lab testing, symptom tracking, and targeted dosing to restore hormonal balance.

How long will I need to stay on hormone therapy?

There is no fixed timeline. You remain on hormone therapy for as long as you want to maintain its benefits. Many patients choose to continue for years because they enjoy higher energy levels, stable mood, improved cognitive performance, and better physical vitality.

What side effects should I be aware of?

Most side effects are mild and manageable. You may experience temporary acne, subtle water retention, or breast tenderness if you are a woman. Men can occasionally see an increase in red blood cell count, which is easily monitored and corrected as needed.
If you receive pellet therapy, you might notice short-term soreness at the insertion site. Any shifts in mood or energy typically reflect dosage adjustments and are refined through follow-up care. Regular monitoring helps ensure potential side effects remain under control.
