Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

Hormonal imbalance is one of the most under-diagnosed health issues affecting adults today. Both men and women experience a natural decline in hormone levels beginning in their 30s and accelerating through their 40s, 50s, and beyond. For women, this manifests as perimenopause and menopause with symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, weight gain, decreased libido, and brain fog. For men, declining testosterone leads to fatigue, reduced muscle mass, increased body fat, low libido, irritability, and difficulty concentrating.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are molecularly identical to the ones your body naturally produces. At Lodi MedSpa, we offer multiple delivery methods including hormone pellets (small pellets inserted under the skin that provide consistent hormone release for 3-6 months), topical creams and gels, injections, and oral formulations. Our most popular option is pellet therapy because it eliminates the daily hassle of creams or pills while providing stable, physiologic hormone levels without the peaks and valleys of other delivery methods.

Our HRT program includes comprehensive initial lab work (complete hormone panel, thyroid function, metabolic markers), a detailed symptom assessment, a customized treatment protocol, and ongoing monitoring with regular follow-up labs every 3-6 months. We take a conservative, evidence-based approach to hormone optimization, targeting levels that are optimal for your age and health profile rather than simply boosting numbers as high as possible. Most patients notice improvement in energy, mood, and sleep within 2-4 weeks, with full benefits developing over 3-6 months.
