Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a treatment that replaces hormones when your body no longer produces adequate amounts. As we age, it's common for hormone levels to decline, leading to unpleasant symptoms that can negatively impact quality of life. Getting an accurate diagnosis and pursuing timely treatment through HRT can help patients feel healthy, energetic, and youthful again.
Here at Renew Hormone Institute in Attleboro, our experienced medical staff provides cutting edge hormone replacement protocols to help patients correct deficiencies, relieve symptoms, and promote wellbeing. We offer therapies including testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), bioidentical hormones, growth hormones and more. Read on to learn about common hormone imbalances, HRT benefits, procedures and lifestyle tips for optimal results.
The first step is identifying any hormone shortfalls through comprehensive lab testing. Common deficiencies include:
Testosterone is key for sexual health, muscle mass, strength and energy. Signs of low testosterone include:
These key feminizing hormones start declining during perimenopause and menopause. Symptoms include:
Growth hormone (GH) promotes cell regeneration, muscle growth, bone density and healthy body composition. Indications of GH deficiency include:
Once a hormone shortfall is identified through testing, HRT can help restore optimal levels. Benefits may include:
Returning hormones to healthy physiologic ranges relieves symptoms caused by deficits. Patients report improved energy, sleep, sexual health, body composition and more.
HRT offers protective effects against age-related diseases like osteoporosis and heart disease for both men and women. It may also provide neuroprotective benefits.
By reducing troublesome menopause or andropause symptoms and promoting improved body composition and vitality, HRT enhances quality of life so patients feel healthier and more youthful.
HRT has been shown in studies to increase skin thickness, reduce wrinkles and support more youthful muscle mass and body fat distribution. This translates to patients looking and feeling younger.
Our clinic offers cutting edge therapies tailored to each patient's unique needs and hormone profile, including:
We provide customized treatment with bioidentical hormones - substances that are molecularly identical to the hormones produced naturally in the body. Therapy is tailored to the patient based on symptoms and lab testing.
Our specialized TRT protocols are customized after analyzing a patient's symptoms, medical history and lab results. We then develop an integrated plan that typically includes testosterone along with other supporting therapies that may aid muscle building, sexual health and vitality.
Our clinic has extensive expertise in using growth hormone to help patients improve body composition and reverse indications of aging. We conduct comprehensive testing to verify appropriate candidates for treatment.

Hormone replacement therapy was originally developed in the 1930s to help relieve severe menopause symptoms. It was later found that when started early in menopause, hormone therapy could help prevent bone loss and possibly reduce heart disease risk. However, it also has some health risks like blood clots and stroke. More research is still needed to fully understand its risks versus benefits.
HRT is most effective alongside adopting a healthy lifestyle centered around proper nutrition, fitness and wellness practices. Patients will experience optimal improvements from therapy by also focusing on:
Follow an anti-inflammatory diet rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants from vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts/seeds and high quality proteins. This provides essential micronutrients to thrive.
Aim for 150 minutes per week of moderate activity like walking, swimming or cycling along with muscle-strengthening resistance training twice weekly. This boosts HRT benefits.
Focus on stress relief through sufficient sleep (7-9 hours nightly), meditation, yoga, or spending time outdoors. This supports balanced hormone levels and health.
Prevent hormone disruption and imbalance by abstaining from smoking, excess alcohol intake and environmental pollutant exposure when possible.
Renew Hormone Institute offers patients continued guidance and support for making sustainable lifestyle upgrades that amplify the improvements possible through HRT. We also provide referrals to outstanding local resources like fitness centers, stress management services, nutritionists and more based on your personalized needs.
