Hormone therapy involves using medications containing hormones to supplement low hormone levels in the body. It can help alleviate unpleasant signs and symptoms of hormone imbalance and provide protective benefits against certain health conditions.
At Balance & Renew Clinic in Selma, we offer cutting-edge natural hormone replacement therapy to help both women and men achieve optimal hormonal balance. With an experienced medical team and state-of-the-art facilities, we aim to restore health, vitality and an overall sense of wellbeing.
There are several reasons why hormone levels may start to drop, leading to an imbalance.
As both women and men grow older, hormone production begins to slow down naturally. Estrogen levels drop significantly during perimenopause and menopause in women, while testosterone declines steadily with age in both men and women.
Besides aging, factors like chronic stress, poor nutrition, thyroid disorders and certain medications can also impact hormone production. Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits is key.
Some common signs and symptoms of hormonal decline include:
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it may be time to have your hormone levels checked through proper medical testing.

Selma features a warm, sunny Mediterranean climate year round with cool, rainy winters and hot, dry summers. Outdoor activities and therapy access are feasible throughout the seasons.
During winter (November-February), the reduced daylight hours and rainy weather can exacerbate hormone imbalance symptoms like low mood, fatigue and weight gain. The colder temperatures also keep people indoors more often. For these reasons, some patients may benefit from optimizing hormone levels just before winter sets in.
In contrast, spring (March-May) offers a comfortable climate and more sunny days perfect for walking, hiking or other outdoor revitalization activities. With nature blossoming, people also tend to feel more positive and motivated during springtime. For some, this represents an ideal period to embark upon hormone therapy.
Mild temperatures continue through summer (June-August), albeit with intense heat waves. Maintaining good hydration and UV protection is key. The fall months (September-November) remain warm heading into the holiday season.
Hormone therapy can truly be initiated at any time as part of ongoing healthcare. Our physicians consider the unique situation and needs of each individual when advising on ideal timing for starting treatment.
