Hormone therapy is an important medical treatment that helps restore hormone balance in the body. As we age, hormone levels can become deficient, leading to unpleasant symptoms and health problems. Hormone therapy treats hormone deficiencies through medication and lifestyle changes. At Rejuvenate Hormone Clinic in Victoria, we provide customized hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to help patients feel their best.
Hormone therapy offers many benefits when hormones are out of balance. Our knowledgeable staff can help determine if hormone therapy is right for you. The benefits of HRT can include:
Before starting any hormone therapy, comprehensive lab testing is essential to determine your specific hormone levels and deficiencies. At Rejuvenate Hormone Clinic, we offer advanced hormone panel testing to measure levels of key hormones like estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, cortisol, thyroid hormones, and more.
Testing provides the information needed to develop a customized treatment plan just for you. We carefully analyze your hormone balance and only prescribe bioidentical hormone medications when necessary.
Some of the most common hormone imbalances we successfully treat include:
Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, causing frustrating symptoms like low libido, erectile dysfunction, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, fatigue, and mood changes. Male testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can safely and effectively reverse these effects so you feel like yourself again.
When women go through menopause, reduced estrogen and progesterone levels can significantly disrupt sleep, mood, sexual health, bone strength, heart health, and energy. We offer personalized bioidentical hormone replacement including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA to alleviate uncomfortable menopause symptoms.
An underactive or overactive thyroid gland affects weight, mood, energy, menstrual cycles, and more. We test T3, T4, TSH, and antibodies to accurately diagnose thyroid conditions. Thyroid hormone replacement brings your levels back to optimal ranges.
Chronic stress can deplete cortisol levels, causing persistent exhaustion no matter how much you rest. We identify adrenal fatigue through testing and craft treatment plans combining stress management techniques, lifestyle changes, supplements, and hydrocortisone medication when indicated.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. While the emotional effects are well-known, hormone therapy has also been found to positively impact brain structure and function. Brain scans show that the brain activity of transgender people becoming more similar to others of their desired gender after undergoing hormone therapy.

In addition to hormone replacement, we provide guidance on lifestyle changes that support healthier hormone balance such as:
Eating a nutritious, anti-inflammatory diet high in produce, lean proteins, and healthy fats promotes hormone health. We offer nutritional counseling to help optimize your diet.
Regular exercise balances hormones, manages stress, builds muscle, burns fat, and prevents chronic health conditions. We suggest exercise plans with the right mix of cardio, strength training, and stretching.
High, unrelenting stress raises cortisol and lowers key hormones like progesterone and testosterone. Our therapists teach healthy stress relief techniques like meditation, yoga, deep breathing, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
Quality sleep normalizes hormone production and metabolism. We provide sleep hygiene advice on optimizing sleep environments, sleep-wake cycles, sleep positions, and bedtime routines.
Vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements help the body better produce and utilize hormones. We recommend supplements as needed based on deficiencies identified through testing.
