Hormone Replacement Therapy at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine

Hormones play a critical role in how your body functions, and their levels can shift over time due to age, medical background, and individual health factors. When these changes occur, restoring balance on your own can feel difficult. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Grapevine, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) 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.

Support Your Body’s Natural Balance

Hormone replacement therapy may involve a single hormone or a combination, depending on your individual needs. Your healthcare provider determines the appropriate method, dosage, and duration of treatment, which can vary from person to person.

Available methods of hormone therapy may include:

  • Intramuscular injections
  • Topical gels or medicated creams
  • Oral capsules or pill forms

Growth Hormone Optimization

Growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland and plays a vital role in regulating many bodily systems. When the body does not produce enough, it can contribute to a range of health concerns. Growth hormone optimization may help improve symptoms associated with deficiency.

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.

Men’s Testosterone Therapy

As men age, shifting hormone levels, especially testosterone, can lead to noticeable changes in energy, mood, and overall well-being. Many men report feeling more fatigued or less motivated, often due to these natural fluctuations.

Testosterone therapy may help restore balance and improve quality of life. Speaking with a qualified provider can help determine whether this treatment is right for you.

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.

A Tailored Hormone Therapy Experience

Initial Consultation

Your first appointment focuses on understanding your symptoms, concerns, and personal goals. During this discussion, your provider evaluates your medical history and identifies potential indicators of hormonal imbalance. You’ll also gain insight into how hormones impact energy, metabolism, and performance. If necessary, lab work is completed during this visit to guide your treatment plan.

Comprehensive Hormone Testing

Before beginning therapy, a detailed set of lab tests is performed based on your unique needs. These may include testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, DHEA, thyroid function, A1c, CBC, CMP, and lipid panels. By reviewing multiple markers rather than a single value, your provider develops a more complete understanding of your hormonal health.

Individualized Treatment Design

After reviewing your results and symptoms, your provider creates a customized plan tailored to your lifestyle, medical background, and goals. The approach prioritizes treating the individual rather than relying solely on lab values.

Ongoing Monitoring and Fine-Tuning

Hormone therapy is continually adjusted to align with your progress. Follow-up appointments typically occur within 8 to 12 weeks, with modifications based on how you feel and your lab results. Once your treatment stabilizes, visits are scheduled every three to six months. Continued care includes routine labs, symptom tracking, and direct access to your medical 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.
