Hormones regulate many essential bodily processes and a hormone deficiency can negatively impact health and wellbeing. As we age, hormone levels naturally decline leading to unpleasant symptoms. Common deficiencies include:
Testosterone is crucial for muscle growth, bone health, sex drive, energy levels, and more in both men and women. Low testosterone is typically caused by hypogonadism or normal aging. Symptoms include:
Estrogen regulates the reproductive system in women as well as bone health, skin elasticity, cognition, and heart function. Low estrogen levels often occur after menopause. Symptoms include:
The thyroid gland produces hormones to control metabolism. An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) leads to:
Early diagnosis through blood tests and treatment can prevent complications of hormone deficiencies. Consult an endocrinologist if you are experiencing these symptoms.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can effectively treat hormone deficiencies using plant-derived hormones identical to those produced by the body.
Advantages of bioidentical hormones include:
Patients report increased energy, more restful sleep, improved sexual function, enhanced mood, clearer thinking, and an overall greater sense of wellbeing on BHRT.
Bioidentical hormones can be formulated as pills, creams, gels, pellets, patches, and injections. This allows doses to be adjusted to meet individual needs. Patients are carefully monitored to maintain optimal hormone balance.
The physicians at Harmony Hormone Center in Tonopah are uniquely trained in advanced bioidentical hormone therapy protocols to reverse the effects of deficiency. We conduct thorough diagnostic testing, develop customized treatment plans, and closely track patient progress.
Initial visits at Harmony Hormone Center involve:
We prescribe high quality bioidentical hormones and teach patients proper administration based on their needs and preferences.
Follow-up visits monitor progress through additional bloodwork and symptom reviews. Doses are tweaked over time for maximum treatment benefits. We also provide nutritional advice and discuss lifestyle factors that support healthy hormone levels.
Harmony Hormone Center sets itself apart with our:

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a specific form of bioidentical hormone treatment used to raise testosterone levels in men or women back to an optimal range.
Men naturally produce testosterone for muscle growth, bone density, sex drive, energy, mood, and more. Levels peak during adolescence and early adulthood then slowly drop with age. Low testosterone is diagnosed when blood concentrations fall below 300 ng/dL.
TRT should be considered for men with both low testosterone levels and hypogonad symptoms like:
Postmenopausal women can also develop testosterone deficiency contributing to sexual dysfunction, physical weakness, and cognitive decline.
Blood testing is required to confirm suboptimal testosterone. A detailed medical history and physical exam should also be performed to rule out other causes of symptoms.
If low testosterone is detected alongside troublesome symptoms, TRT can be administered to restore levels.
At Harmony Hormone Center, common TRT protocols include:
These bioidentical preparations provide sustained testosterone release into the bloodstream, bypassing the liver. This increases uptake efficiency.
Doses are customized then tweaked based on follow up bloodwork and symptom tracking to dial in ideal concentrations. Ongoing monitoring ensures stable testosterone levels are maintained long-term without adverse effects.
Patients report lifechanging improvements on TRT such as:
In addition, research shows TRT can:
Restoring testosterone balance with TRT under medical guidance can profoundly enhance wellness in men and women suffering from deficiency.
Hormone therapy was originally developed in the 1930s to treat symptoms of menopause in women. However, in later decades it was discovered that hormone therapy could also help transgender individuals undergoing gender transition by inducing physical changes to align with their gender identity.
The first step in treating a hormone deficiency is testing to confirm suboptimal levels.
At Harmony Hormone Center we use advanced diagnostics to paint a complete picture of patients' metabolic health and uncover specific deficiencies contributing to their issues.
Many hormone imbalance symptoms are vague or overlap with other conditions. Testing can distinguish true deficits from other illnesses.
Standard lab reference ranges are also broad. Blood levels considered “normal” may still be inadequate for certain patients to feel their best based on individual differences.
Additionally, some hormones follow daily/monthly cycles. One snapshot may not accurately reflect typical concentrations.
Repeat testing under careful oversight lets our practitioners pinpoint shortfalls. This enables proper treatment.
Our comprehensive panel incorporates cutting-edge markers to uncover hard-to-diagnose endocrine dysfunctions.
We test key hormones including:
Plus other influential biomarkers:
This comprehensive data combined with a careful history guides Harmony Hormone Center practitioners’ therapy recommendations. We focus on nourishing balance across each patient’s entire interrelated hormone network.
Starting bioidentical hormone therapy can provide huge quality of life improvements if your body is struggling with a hormone deficiency. We encourage taking that first step!
