Hormone Imbalance Symptoms

Take Control of Your Life by Addressing Hormone Imbalance Symptoms

As we age, our body stops making many of the hormones that maintain our mood and physical health effectively. This is especially true for older women undergoing menopause, but women of all ages can struggle with hormonal imbalances and deficiencies.

At BodyLogicMD, our Southern California-based women’s hormone clinic provides the latest and most effective treatments for endocrine disorders, including andropause and menopause symptoms. After all, from hot flashes and low sex drive to unwanted mood swings and weight changes, your hormone levels play a huge role in your day-to-day health and functionality.

That’s where our Hormone Therapy, otherwise known as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) comes in. These hormone optimization treatments, such as estrogen patches, gels, sprays, and lotions are designed to optimize your female hormones. In turn, you can work to prevent bone loss and heart disease while remedying other symptoms of hormonal imbalances.

What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
for Women?

Hormone Replacement Therapy, or HRT, is the most effective way to treat the negative symptoms of menopause and hysterectomy or a bilateral oophorectomy in younger women. When estrogen production decreases—either naturally or due to a procedure—symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness start to emerge. Many of these symptoms can deeply affect a woman’s quality of life, causing anything from painful intercourse to unwanted bone loss.

HRT, including BHRT, addresses these issues by restoring balance. Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone are delivered directly to your bloodstream from external sources, even when your body can’t produce them properly. The result: long-term relief that’s as minimally-invasive as possible.

What to Expect

01

Initial Consultation

Schedule an appointment with one of our specialists to discuss your hormone-related symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals.
02

Comprehensive Hormone Testing

To make sure you get the full benefits of our treatment plan, we first take a urine test—a more comprehensive option when compared to blood tests. The test not only measures estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone but also metabolite markers to give us a full picture of how your body clears hormones. We also address adrenal function by checking DHEA and measuring cortisol levels at five different times throughout the day. This thorough testing sets us apart from many other HRT clinics.
03

Personalized Treatment Plan

Once we understand your blood work, we’ll walk you through different treatments and why certain prescriptions may work better for you. Common options include tiny pellets placed under the skin in our office, topical applications, or patches.
04

Ongoing Follow-Ups and Monitoring

Different HRT treatments have different delivery schedules, but you should start to notice improvements within the first few weeks. We’ll continue scheduling regular visits to adjust your treatment plan and monitor for risks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the women's hormone clinic located?
We’re conveniently located just south of Los Angeles, in Newport Beach, CA. Our address is 2372 SE Bristol Street, Suite B, Newport Beach, CA 92660.
What are the hours for the women's hormone clinic?
Our clinic is open between 9 am and 5 pm, Monday through Friday.
How safe is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?
Yes, HRT is both safe and effective for targeting the hormonal imbalance or deficiency symptoms. Treatments are initiated using bioidentical hormones at low doses to ensure successful health outcomes.

Patients who are administered a course of HRT treatments should take these therapies while adopting healthy lifestyle choices to reduce the risks of side effects and improve the chances of the treatments working as desired.

Dr. Garcia will discuss the viable HRT options with you during your consultation and recommend the best and most effective treatment regimen that supports your health and helps you reach your particular hormone replacement goals. For most patients who are under 60 years of age and within 10 years of menopause, the risks of seeking an HRT treatment plan might preclude some from moving forward, but the benefits often outweigh the risks when it comes to the efficacy of hormone replacement.

How long will it take to notice results with Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Some patients have seen marked improvements in as few as a couple of weeks after their first doses of HRT, while others may see those improvements further into the treatment regimen. Each patient is different, the time it takes to see real results may take longer or sooner than the average individual seeking treatment with HRT based on factors such as overall health, any medical issues that might be apparent, past medical history, and, of course, the specific intended goals for receiving treatment.
How is each Hormone Replacement Therapy treatment plan developed?
Dr. Garcia creates each treatment plan to target the particular challenges of every patient. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to hormone replacement therapy, the plan is customized exclusively for each patient and their medical history, symptoms, and goals. The consultation process is imperative for better understanding each patient’s concerns so they may be properly and fully addressed to ensure the most successful outcome from treatment.
What are bioidentical hormones?
These hormones are chemically interchangeable to those produced naturally in the body, so they are easily integrated into your system. When the body is simply unable to continue producing the proper levels of certain hormones and deficiencies begin to develop, bioidentical hormones are far more effective at reducing the deficiencies and with far fewer risks of side effects.
Who is a good candidate for Hormone Replacement Therapy treatments?
A good candidate for hormone replacement therapy is anyone who is currently struggling with symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, night sweats, difficulty sleeping and staying asleep, bone density loss, fractured bones, atrophic vaginitis, and a significant decrease in estrogen. An initial consultation is vital for Dr. Garcia to review each patient’s symptoms and medical history and develop a customized treatment plan.
Who shouldn’t take HRT treatments?
Patients who are suffering from breast or ovarian cancer, gallbladder or liver disease, blood clots, and excessive or abnormal vaginal bleeding may not be able to take HRT treatments. A medical history of heart attack, cardiovascular disease, and stroke may also disqualify a patient from having HRT treatments administered. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant are also not ideal candidates for these treatments.
What are the risks of taking HRT treatments?
HRT is safe and effective for all good candidates. These treatments do come with an elevated risk of blood clots, stroke, gallbladder diseases, and breast cancer. These risks depend on a variety of contributing factors such as the age and medical history of the patient, the length of time taking treatments, and the type of HRT treatments being administered. Dr. Garcia will review these risks as part of developing a customized treatment plan.
How long should HRT treatments last?
Every patient is different and while there is no specific time limit for administering treatment, long-term use should be carefully monitored with dosing that effectively targets the symptoms. Follow-up appointments are critical for success, so the dosage levels can be adjusted when necessary and progress monitored to ensure the goals of the patient are achieved safely and successfully.
What other treatments do you offer at your clinic?
Our clinic offers a variety of treatments to both women and men, including:
