The Optimal Hormone Solutions provides cutting-edge hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to the Texarkana community. As leaders in the field of endocrinology, our physicians have the expertise to personalize treatment plans to help patients regain optimal hormonal balance. We offer a variety of therapies to treat hormonal imbalances related to aging, menopause, andropause and other health conditions. This includes testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), estrogen and progesterone therapies, thyroid treatments and more.
Hormones like estrogen, testosterone and thyroid hormones regulate nearly all essential bodily processes. When their levels decline or become imbalanced, quality of life is impacted. Patients often experience symptoms like:
Restoring balance can lead to transformative improvements in these areas. The benefits span physical health, mental clarity and emotional wellbeing. Treatments tailored to individual patients based on symptoms, medical history and lab testing can help patients feel youthful and vibrant once again.
The first step is thorough lab testing to accurately identify deficiencies or imbalances. We utilize cutting-edge diagnostics only available through specialty clinics like ours. This includes assessing levels of:
- LH & FSH - Signals reproductive health - DHEA-S - Precursor to sex hormones - PSA - Screens prostate cancer risk
Understanding each patient's unique hormonal profile allows treatments to be expertly tailored using bioidentical hormones and innovative therapies.
For women, declining estrogen and progesterone due to perimenopause and menopause causes disruptive symptoms interfering with work, relationships and quality of life. Our clinic provides personalized plans to help patients thrive during this transition.
Hormone shifts during the 5-10 years preceding menopause cause cycle irregularity and fluctuating estrogen. We offer cyclic progesterone to regulate cycles along with low dose estrogen as needed. Lifestyle optimization is also key during this period.
Once cycles permanently cease at menopause, estrogen and often progesterone therapy helps patients avoid symptoms while supporting long term health. We offer oral tablets, transdermal patches, gels, inserts and pellet implants to suit each woman's needs. The latest compounded biodentical hormones are utilized when advantageous over conventional preparations.
Lifestyle, diet, exercise and stress reduction techniques make HRT more effective. Our clinicians help patients implement holistic protocols personalized to Texarkana's climate like:
Like estrogen in women, testosterone begins declining in men's 30s-40s causing low T symptoms interfering with vitality. Without treatment, muscle mass and strength dwindle while body fat increases over time. Mood disorders, reduced motivation and cognitive dysfunction also result.
Alongside lab testing showing reduced total and free testosterone levels, our clinicians assess clinical signs like:
If low T is indicated, we offer a variety of proven treatment options from gels to injections to implantable testosterone pellets, along with knowledgeable support. Follow ups assess symptom improvements and fine tune dosing. We also provide referrals to urologists, psychologists and other specialists as needed to ensure comprehensive care.
Evidence-based lifestyle protocols enhance the benefits of TRT while protecting long term health:
We help men implement sustainable plans in collaboration with local resources like MetroFlex Gym.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. While expected effects like fat redistribution are well-known, a lesser-known one is that hormone therapy may change food preferences, as it alters smell and taste receptors. This can lead some transgender patients to discover new favorite foods.
Beyond sex hormones, thyroid dysfunction is rampant yet underdiagnosed - especially in women 40 . When thyroid hormones T3 and T4 decline, every cell in the body is impacted. Patients gain weight, feel fatigued, suffer memory issues and more. We offer advanced testing and use best-in-class preparations like Tirosint and NP Thyroid to restore cellular health. Lifestyle plans to reduce inflammation and stress while supporting metabolism and gut health complement medication when needed.
