Hormone Therapy Overview
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a safe, effective, and medically guided treatment that helps relieve symptoms of perimenopause and menopause by restoring balance to key hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and in some cases, testosterone.
Perimenopause usually begins in a woman’s early to mid-40s, although symptoms can start as early as the late 30s. It’s the transitional phase leading up to menopause, when hormone levels begin to fluctuate. Menopause is confirmed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, typically around age 51, though symptoms often start years earlier and may continue well beyond that point.
As hormone levels shift, many women experience disruptive symptoms like hot flashes, mood changes, brain fog, sleep issues, low libido, and stubborn weight gain. At Elevate Testosterone & Weight Loss, we offer personalized bio-identical hormone therapy that works with your body to restore balance, reduce symptoms, and help you feel like yourself again.
During these stages, declining hormone levels can cause a range of physical and emotional symptoms, including:
- Hot flashes & night sweats
- Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
- Irregular or heavy periods
- Fatigue or low energy
- Brain fog & poor concentration
- Low libido & vaginal dryness
- Sleep disturbances
- Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
Benefits of Hormone Therapy
Relief from Menopause Symptoms
HRT helps reduce or eliminate hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings for greater daily comfort and emotional balance.
Better Sleep Quality
By stabilizing hormone levels, HRT can improve your ability to fall asleep and stay asleep through the night.
Improved Mental Clarity & Focus
Hormone balance supports cognitive function, helping reduce brain fog and enhance concentration.
Healthy Weight Management
HRT can help regulate metabolism and reduce the stubborn weight gain often linked to hormonal changes.
Boost Libido & Sexual Wellness
Restoring estrogen and testosterone levels may increase sexual desire, reduce discomfort, and improve intimacy.
Stronger Bones & Heart Health
Estrogen therapy helps protect bone density and supports cardiovascular health as you age.
Hormone Replacement Therapy is ideal for women who are navigating the physical and emotional changes brought on by perimenopause, menopause, or hormonal imbalances. If you’re feeling “off” and struggling with symptoms that affect your quality of life, HRT may offer the support your body needs to function optimally again. Our approach is tailored, evidence-based, and designed to help you feel balanced, energized, and in control.

Testosterone Therapy Overview
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a medically guided treatment designed to restore healthy testosterone levels in men experiencing symptoms of hormonal decline. Testosterone naturally begins to decrease around age 30, but lifestyle factors, chronic stress, and certain medical conditions can accelerate this process—often leading to fatigue, low libido, weight gain, and a decline in overall well-being.
At Elevate Testosterone & Weight Loss, we use comprehensive lab testing and a personalized treatment plan to safely bring testosterone back to optimal levels. Our approach focuses on restoring physical vitality, mental sharpness, and sexual health using injectable, topical, or pellet-based therapies tailored to your needs.
With consistent monitoring and expert guidance, TRT can help men regain energy, confidence, and performance—both in and out of the gym.
During this stage, declining testosterone levels can lead to a variety of physical, mental, and emotional symptoms, including:
- Low energy levels or chronic fatigue
- Reduced libido and decreased sexual performance
- Erectile dysfunction or weaker erections
- Increased body fat, especially in the abdomen
- Decreased muscle mass and slower recovery
- Mood swings, irritability, or mild depression
- Difficulty concentrating or brain fog
- Sleep disturbances or poor sleep quality
Benefits of Testosterone Therapy
Increased Energy & Vitality
TRT helps combat chronic fatigue by restoring testosterone to optimal levels, giving you more stamina throughout the day.
Improved Sexual Performance

Boost Muscle Mass & Strength

Reduced Body Fat

Better Mood & Mental Clarity
Testosterone plays a key role in emotional balance and cognitive function, helping reduce mood swings and brain fog.
Deeper, More Restful Sleep
Balanced testosterone levels contribute to better sleep quality and more consistent rest.
If you’ve been feeling tired, unmotivated, or not quite like yourself, low testosterone could be the underlying cause. Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a safe, medically supervised way to restore hormone levels and help you regain your energy, focus, strength, and confidence. At Elevate Testosterone & Weight Loss, we customize every plan based on lab work and symptoms—so you get real results, not guesswork.
