Hormone Replacement Therapy

What is hormone replacement therapy?

HRT is a individualized approach to restore healthy hormone levels. Women and men develop hormonal imbalances at every age and due to many factors, including stress, nutritional deficiencies, obesity, autoimmune diseases, and conditions affecting their hormone-producing glands.  However, many people seek HRT when their levels of estrogen (in women) and testosterone (in men) decline due to the natural aging process. Low estrogen and testosterone have a significant impact on nearly every part of the body — problems that can be prevented and treated with HRT.

What symptoms indicate women need hormone replacement therapy?

At menopause, women’s ovaries stop producing estrogen. Because estrogen regulates many body functions, this dramatic change causes a range of symptoms, including:

  • Mood swings
  • Loss of sex drive
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Hot flashes and night sweats
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Hair loss
  • Depression
  • Memory problems
  • Urinary incontinence
  • Weight gain
  • Insomnia
  • Dry skin

After menopause, women become susceptible to osteoporosis due to the crucial role estrogen plays in preserving strong bones.

Does hormone replacement therapy come in different forms?

Bioidentical hormones, unlike synthetic counterparts, mimic the molecular structure of the body’s natural hormones. Consequently, they elicit the same biological responses and carry a reduced risk of side effects. Before prescribing HRT, we will run blood tests and then customize your treatment based on your hormone levels.  You can choose HRT in the form of patches, creams, pills, injections, or pellets. We recommend pellets because they maintain a better balance by delivering a steady flow of hormones. And after we insert the tiny rice-sized pellet under your skin, it lasts three to six months. Call or schedule an appointment online to learn more about how HRT can improve your quality of life and health.

Peptide Therapy

Peptide are utilized for fat loss, boost immunity, increase lean muscle mass, weight loss, and even increase libido. Read below on a few peptides we can offer depending upon your health history.

Growth Hormone releasing peptides stimulates the pituitary gland within the body to release natural growth hormone. As we age, our hormone levels fluctuate which may interfere with one’s quality of life, imbalances of energy, irritability, sleeplessness, memory problems, and low sex drive. 
 
Benefits of increasing growth hormone may include:
 
• Increased lean body mass development  
• Increased energy
• Increased strength and endurance            
• Improved sleep quality
• Improved mood                        
• Improved skin elasticity
• Improved memory and cognition                 
• May improve blood glucose

Specialty Testing

MethylDetox Profile

More than 50% of your patients are affected by genetic variations in the methylation pathway.1 Standard MTHFR genotyping only evaluates folic acid metabolism. The MethylDetox Profile makes it easy to understand the complicated methylation process by giving comprehensive insights into the functional status of the methylation pathway.Genes tested: MTHFR, MTR, MTRR, COMT, Homocysteine, & AHCY. 

Who Should Test?

Individuals with a manifestation and/or family history of:

  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Hypertension, coronary artery disease, stroke
  • Neurodegenerative disorders
  • Poor drug clearance
  • Polypharmacy
  • Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS)
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)
  • Chronic metabolic disorders
  • Metabolic syndrome
  • Diabetes
  • Kidney or liver disease
  • Musculoskeletal disorders
  • Autism spectrum disorder
  • Depression/anxiety
  • Insomnia
  • ADD/ADHD
  • Alzheimer’s Disease
 

Food Sensitivity Testing:

There are multiple food sensitivity/ intolerance tests available. Straight 2 U Wellness utilizes multiple companies but one is the ALCAT testing. The results from the Alcat Test can help determine which foods and other substances may trigger unwanted inflammation, and related symptoms. The Alcat Test enables providers to help patients improve chronic health issues through dietary change.The Alcat Test gives healthcare professionals a tool for managing conditions linked to inflammation and chronic activation of the immune system. The Alcat Test measures individual responses to foods and other substances at the cellular level and may reveal the underlying trigger of certain symptoms. Food and chemical sensitivities have been linked to migraines, aching joints, fatigue, gastrointestinal disorders, and other symptoms related to chronic activation of the immune system. 

Clinical assessments of the Alcat Test used to guide dietary modification have shown significant improvement in many common symptoms

CICA: Celiac, IBS, and Crohn’s Array

Two out of five Americans have gastrointestinal disorders: up to 20% are affected by IBS, 0.44% impacted by Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis, and up to 1% with celiac disease. Accurate diagnosis of non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) and celiac disease is complex because both specific and nonspecific pathways of the immune system are involved.  The CICA evaluates a patient’s genetic risk for celiac disease, serum markers associated with active celiac disease process, and genetic serum markers associated with Crohn’s disease, and serological markers for diminished antigen exclusion in the gut.

Cellular Nutrition Assays

Cellular testing for nutrient sufficiency, antioxidant capacity, and specific protective antioxidants.

Metabolism happens within cells. Cells need nutrients to be metabolically active.

  • The Cellular Micronutrient Assay (CMA) is your tool to assess and address insufficiencies in micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) as well as amino acids, and other nutrients within immune cells. This is a reflection of long-term nutrient status not just a “snapshot” as is seen in serum nutrient tests.
  • Nutrient requirements are unique to each patient.
    • Women’s health- fertility, pregnancy, lactation, perimenopause, menopause, and others
    • High performance and/or severe stress
    • Sports nutrition
    • Pre and post -surgery
    • Weight management, obesity
    • Burnout, fatigue, depression, mood swings, low vitality
    • Chronic conditions, and/or metabolic syndrome (increased blood pressure and blood sugar, excess body fat, abnormal cholesterol)
    • Nutritional and health status optimization
