What Is Telehealth Hormone Therapy?
Telehealth hormone therapy offers a highly convenient method to address your hormone imbalances. Instead of coming into a clinic, telehealth can either replace in-clinic appointments or offer a hybrid approach to your care. Our telehealth programs may include video calls, phone consultations, and private encrypted email messages to provide easier access to the care you deserve. Most importantly, our skilled professionals monitor your telehealth hormone therapy, making it a safe and effective treatment.
What Causes Hormone Imbalances?
Hormone imbalances are not caused by a single factor or trigger. Instead, they can be caused by a variety of lifestyle choices, your environment, genetics, or medical conditions. Here’s a deeper look at some of the most common causes of hormone imbalances:
- Age and Life Stages: Age plays a vital role in hormone fluctuations and imbalances. As women age, they often experience menopause, and men may deal with low testosterone levels.
- Stress: Chronic stress can trigger cortisol, a hormone produced by our adrenal glands that can interfere with our thyroid and other hormones. Cortisol is often associated with stubborn belly fat and weight gain.
- Diet and Nutrition: Poor nutrition, especially diets high in processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats, can affect hormone production. Low levels of essential vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats can disrupt the hormonal balance.
- Sleep Issues: A crucial lack of sleep can lead to imbalances in melatonin, cortisol, and growth hormones that can dramatically impact your well-being.
- Environmental Toxins: Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) like BPA (found in plastics), pesticides, and other industrial chemicals can interfere with the body’s hormone production, leading to imbalances.
- Chronic Conditions: Sometimes chronic medical conditions can lead to hormone imbalances, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), diabetes, thyroid disorders (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism), and adrenal disorders.
- Weight Gain or Loss: Hormone imbalances and weight gain can be cyclical. Rapid weight fluctuations or obesity can lead to issues with insulin, leptin, and cortisol.
- Genetic Factors: Some of our patients have a genetic predisposition to conditions that affect hormones, such as metabolism and autoimmune diseases. or endocrine gland disorders.
No matter the reason for your hormone imbalances, it can cause serious issues for your health and well-being. Turning to RCMC Medical Center for telehealth hormone therapy empowers you to find a solution that gets you back on track to reclaim your life.
What Type of Key Hormones Does RCMC Medical Center Evaluate?
If you’re concerned about imbalances or are looking for telehealth options, here are some of the hormones RCMC Medical Center evaluates:
- Estrogen and Progesterone: Both of these sex hormones are crucial to regulating women’s menstrual cycles, mood, bone health, and more.
- Testosterone: Although often associated with men, testosterone is important for both men and women and impacts muscle mass, bone density, libido, and mood.
- Thyroid Hormones (T3 and T4): The thyroid is a powerful regulator for metabolism, energy levels, and your physiological balance.
- Cortisol: Cortisol is also known as the stress hormone and impacts sleep cycles, blood sugar levels, and metabolism, which can also lead to frustrating weight gain.
- Insulin: Insulin needs to be balanced and is crucial in how your body processes and stores glucose for our overall metabolic health.
What About Low T?
Low testosterone, or Low T, was once considered an inevitable part of aging that we couldn’t do anything about. Today, Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a science- and research-backed approach to reducing the negative side effects. If you’re struggling with any of these symptoms, you may need TRT:
- Lowered sex drive
- Depression and/or sadness
- Decreased sexual function
- Irritability and mood swings
- Loss of lean muscle mass
- Loss of bone mass
- Chronic fatigue
- Increased fat deposits
- Impaired concentration
