Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is used to balance hormone levels in both men and women. As we age, hormone levels can become deficient leading to undesirable symptoms. Replacing these hormones can provide immense benefits and help people feel healthier, more energetic, and enjoy an improved quality of life.
HRT involves replacing hormones that become deficient with age or for other reasons. The most commonly replaced hormones are testosterone in men and estrogen/progesterone in women. However, thyroid and growth hormones may also be replaced if deficient.
At Hormone Harmony Clinic in Jersey City, we specialize in HRT for both men and women. We offer cutting edge therapies to restore optimal hormone levels so you can feel your best. Read on to learn more about common hormone deficiencies, who can benefit from HRT, and what you can expect from treatment at our clinic.
As men age, testosterone levels gradually decline about 1% per year after age 30. Lower testosterone leads to undesirable symptoms that negatively impact quality of life. Our treatments can safely bring testosterone back to healthy levels to help men feel more energetic and healthy.
Low testosterone, also called hypogonadism or testosterone deficiency, has become increasingly common among today’s men. According to studies, up to 40% of men over 45 may have lower than normal testosterone levels.
Symptoms include:
If you've noticed any of the above symptoms, you may have a testosterone deficiency warranting treatment. Our providers can order tests to check your levels and help determine if hormone therapy is right for you.
Bringing testosterone back to optimal levels can lead to impressive benefits including:
Our testosterone therapies can restore healthy hormone levels to help you look and feel your best. Most men begin noticing improvements in symptoms within weeks.
If hormone testing confirms low testosterone (low T), we offer several effective treatment options including:
We determine the best testosterone therapy for your needs based on symptoms, lab work, convenience, and other considerations.
When starting TRT, our providers follow a standardized protocol:
If needed, adjustments are made to achieve healthy, balanced hormone levels. We continue following up every few months for ongoing monitoring and dosage adjustments.
Just as testosterone declines in aging men, estrogen and progesterone decline in women. This hormonal shift frequently causes unpleasant symptoms. Our treatments replace these hormones to help women overcome unpleasant menopause symptoms.
Menopause marks the end of a woman's reproductive fertility, usually in midlife. As ovulation stops, estrogen and progesterone levels drop off. The average age for menopause is 51, but it may occur earlier or later for some women.
Declining estrogen/progesterone causes symptoms like:
Left untreated, women may face years or even decades of frustrating menopausal symptoms impacting their quality of life. Approximately 80% of menopausal women experience hot flashes and over 60% report sleep disturbances.
Hormone therapy (HT) replaces the estrogen and progesterone that the body no longer produces. Available as pills, patches, gels, and other forms, HT is a safe, effective solution for most women to relieve frustrating symptoms.
In fact studies show that HT reduces the frequency of hot flashes and night sweats by up to 90% for many women. That means far fewer interruptions to your workflow and fewer sleepless nights.
Our experienced Hormone Harmony Clinic practitioners offer customized plans to get each woman safely through menopause with the best possible relief from symptoms.
There are many medical HT options to choose from. The best choice depends on:
Our providers thoughtfully assess your unique situation when mapping out a treatment plan. Monitoring continues to achieve your goals with minimal side effects.
Benefits may include:
Balancing your hormones through menopause and beyond pays dividends through midlife and later years. Our customized care plans can make all the difference.
Managing age-related hormone shifts proactively is key to maintaining wellness and vitality long term. We educate patients to recognize subtle symptoms and intervene early.
Delaying treatment allows imbalance to worsen, with symptoms increasingly stealing quality and enjoyment from your life. Ongoing deficiency also escalates your risk for certain disorders.
For example, low testosterone left untreated may eventually contribute to obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis and heart disease in men.
For women, deficiency of estrogen and progesterone poses threats like:
Identifying and correcting hormone shortfalls promptly, along with adopting healthy lifestyle choices, keeps you optimally energized and healthy through the years ahead.

Recent research has found that hormone therapy started early in menopause may provide cognitive benefits. A 2021 study showed that women who began estrogen therapy within 6 years of menopause had better verbal memory and cognitive resilience later in life compared to those who started hormone therapy later or not at all.
