Hormone Replacement Therapy at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine

Hormonal changes are a natural part of life and can shift due to aging, medical history, and a variety of personal health factors. For many individuals, restoring balance without support can feel difficult. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Fort Worth, 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.

Rebalance Your Body and Regain Control

Hormone replacement therapy may involve one hormone or a customized combination depending on your needs. The type of therapy, dosage, and treatment timeline are determined by your healthcare provider and differ from patient to patient.

Growth Hormone Optimization

Growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland and plays a critical role in regulating many systems throughout the body. When the body does not produce enough, it can lead to a range of health challenges. Growth hormone optimization may help alleviate symptoms related to 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 get older, hormonal changes, especially declining testosterone, can impact energy, mood, and overall quality of life. Many men experience increased fatigue or a noticeable drop in motivation, often tied to these shifts.

Testosterone therapy may help restore hormonal balance. Speaking with a healthcare provider is the first step in determining 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.

Your Customized HRT Plan

Initial Consultation

Your first visit focuses on understanding how you’re feeling and what you want to achieve. You’ll discuss your symptoms, health goals, and overall wellness. Your provider will review your medical history and identify potential indicators of hormonal imbalance. If recent lab work isn’t available, it will be completed during this visit to ensure your treatment is guided by accurate data.

Advanced Hormone Testing

Before beginning therapy, a comprehensive lab panel is conducted based on your specific needs. This may include testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, DHEA, thyroid function, A1c, CBC, CMP, and lipid profiles. Instead of focusing on a single value, your provider evaluates multiple data points to create a complete understanding of your hormonal health.

Tailored Treatment Strategy

Once your lab results and symptoms are reviewed, your provider develops a personalized treatment plan aligned with your lifestyle, medical background, and goals. The approach centers on treating you as an individual, not just your lab numbers.

Continuous Monitoring and Adjustments

Hormone therapy evolves over time to match your progress. Follow-up visits typically occur within 8 to 12 weeks, allowing adjustments based on symptom changes and lab findings. After stabilization, ongoing care continues every three to six months. Regular monitoring, lab testing, and open communication with your care team help keep your treatment optimized.

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.
