Treating Hormonal Imbalances for
Better Wellness

The Benefits of Hormone Therapy

Hormones are essential for helping us feel balanced, well, and capable of navigating life’s challenges. Different hormones produce different effects on the body. For instance, cortisol is the primary stress hormone; if its levels are too high, it can drain your energy and negatively impact your mood. This type of hormone is known as catabolic, meaning it can break things down in the body.

For optimal function, your catabolic hormones must be in balance with your anabolic (or building) hormones, such as Testosterone, DHEA, and growth hormone. This balance allows your body to function correctly. When our systems are out of sync, we often feel worn down and find it difficult to handle day-to-day activities.

Our Approach to Treating Hormonal Imbalances

Treatment begins with a comprehensive patient assessment, which combines a review of urine and/or blood serum lab values. Dr. Varano starts by focusing on the patient’s main concerns to establish a baseline and create clear goals. He uses both subjective (what the patient reports) and objective (lab results) data to gain insight into what is happening inside the body, all while listening intuitively to the patient’s needs.

Often, a “triggering event” can be the cause of these imbalances. These triggers can include the natural aging process, prolonged stress, previous health issues, or poor diet, nutrition, and sleep habits. Dr. Varano and his team of providers aim to view all these factors in conjunction with what is currently happening in a patient’s life.

A complete treatment plan includes coaching on stress mitigation and recommending clinical-grade supplements. Proper regimens frequently involve bioidentical hormone therapy, assessing healthy living patterns, and improving nutrition, socialization, and overall wellbeing. By addressing these interconnected areas, we can create an opportunity for a simpler, happier, and healthier life.
