Frequently Asked Questions
Both hormone therapy and hormone replacement therapy involve addressing hormone imbalances. However, there’s a key distinction:
Hormone therapy takes a broader approach. It can involve using bioidentical hormones, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications to address the root cause of the imbalance and optimize overall hormonal health.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) focuses specifically on replacing deficient hormones, often with synthetic options. It primarily treats symptoms associated with hormone decline, such as those in menopause or andropause.
These symptoms can be indicators of hormonal issues. At our clinic, we utilize functional medicine to assess your situation. This includes a comprehensive evaluation with blood tests to identify any hormonal imbalances.

Peptide therapy is a relatively new approach to infertility, and research is ongoing. Several studies suggest specific peptides might improve egg quality or sperm function. It’s important to consult a doctor specializing in fertility to discuss the potential benefits and risks before considering peptide therapy.
HRT can help regulate menstrual cycles and ovulation for women with hormonal imbalances. Factors like age, underlying health conditions, and type of infertility all play a role in determining if HRT is a safe and effective option. Consulting a fertility specialist can help determine the best course of treatment for your specific situation.
