Revitalizing Nashville
When we reach middle age and our hormones begin fluctuating, it can cause a lot of issues — both physical and mental. This can take a serious toll on our well-being and quality of life. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we offer hormone replacement therapy in Nashville, bringing balance back to the body and allowing you to not only feel like yourself again but live the healthiest life possible.
What is hormone therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) refers to the process of re-introducing a hormone or a combination of hormones back into the body to help the body function properly. With age, our hormones stop performing as well as they once did, which can result in a wide variety of problems. HRT is a highly effective treatment for both men and women. Hormone replacements can be taken orally, administered with injections, used as a topical, or can be implanted with hormone-releasing pellets. Each hormone therapy strategy is created specifically for each patient to match his or her unique needs, habit, lifestyle, and medical history. This strategy will include the type of hormones needed, as well as dosage and how it is administered. HRT essentially sets your body chemistry back to where it needs to be so that you can feel your best.
Women’s Hormone Therapy
When a woman begins to experience menopause, her body is no longer able to make certain hormones. This is why HRT is so important to many women. By taking replacement hormones, a woman can drastically improve her symptoms and feel much better. Menopause can cause all kinds of imbalances, including throwing metabolism off kilter. It can also cause serious mental conditions such as anxiety and depression. This is why HRT for women is often necessary. Our Nashville clinic administers replacement hormones via pellet implants, which release small amounts of the hormone directly into the bloodstream. HRT for women can:
- Increase sex drive
- Increase sexual pleasure
- Help with vaginal discomfort/dryness
- Decrease hot flashes
- Help with mood swings
- Decrease night sweats
- Boost energy
- Lift depression and/or anxiety
- Help with insomnia
- Reduce foggy brain
- Help with physical strength
- Boost immunity and wound healing
- Control body weight and fat gain
- Improve the cardiovascular system
- Reduce imbalances that cause issues like adrenal fatigue, thyroid disorders, PMS, and peri-menopause
Men’s Testosterone Therapy
Although men don’t undergo menopause, their hormones do change with age. This can result in serious conditions such as depression, exhaustion, and risk of heart attack. Hormone replacement therapy alleviates these symptoms by giving the body more of what it needs with a hormone or combination of hormones. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Nashville, we restore the needed hormones, which increases energy and stamina, improves mood, and helps boost libido. We administer our hormone therapy via injections or pellets, which are inserted under the skin to release hormones directly into the bloodstream.
Our men's testosterone therapy in Nashville can:
- Increase sex drive
- Lift mood

- Help keep and create lean muscle
- Significantly decrease risk of heart attack and stroke
