8. Heart diseases cause hormone deficiency. If a person suffers with the heart disease then he is very much prone to hormonal imbalance. Cardiovascular disease affects the hormone levels by cutting of the supply of blood to the testis, which affects the hormone production.
9. Hormonal imbalance is also resulted from diabetes or high blood pressure problems. In diabetes excessive amount of sugar in the blood staunches hormonal production and when suffering with blood pressure the hormone degradation in the body is increased leading to the scarcity of hormones.
10. Medications like antibiotics and pain relievers, when continued for long time may also result in the hormonal imbalance. Even the medicines used to treat liver problems also affect the hormone levels in the human body.
11. Constipation is also found to be a reason of hormonal imbalance in rare cases.
12. Few times hormonal imbalance is noted to be hereditary. Suppose if any of your family members had the hormonal imbalance then there are high chances that you might also suffer with it.
13. One of the main reasons of the hormone deficiency is the unbalanced diet. You need to take a healthy diet to stabilize the normal hormone levels.
14. Excessive intake of alcohol or too much of smoking also leads to hormone deficiency.
So, these are some reasons for hormone deficiency. Please try to avoid these things if you want to live a healthy and happy life.

GETTING STARTED
Your Hormone Replacement Program begins with a 30 - 45 minute private consultation with our physician. Based on the information provided by you, the physician will recommend the appropriate lab panel for the development of your hormone replacement program. The initial consultation will determine weather or not you are a candidate for bio-identical hormone therapy.
CATERING TO YOUR SCHEDULE
Our Hormone Replacement Program is Physician Managed and involves an extensive consultation, evaluation and program development. You will spend 30 - 45 minutes in our clinic on the day of your program appointment. Please make arrangements convenient to your schedule as this time is best spent without interruptions. We request cell phones not be used in our clinic. Our specialty is the personalized care we provide for the optimal wellness you deserve.
WHAT TO EXPECT OF THE DAY
On the day of your appointment, we begin with the discussion of your health & lifestyle questionnaire. We continue by focusing on your hormones and precisely how they work in your body. Our Doctor will provide an evaluation of your hormones and discuss optimal levels. The physician will then develop a program precisely for you. We will complete your visit with a physical examination and the ordering of your custom compounded hormones. Each program we offer provides a one on one visit with our physician.
FOLLOW UP TREATMENT
Throughout your entire Hormone Replacement Program our physician will provide the appropriate management for successful results. Communication and follow up appointments are an integral part of each program. Repeat lab work is not included in program packages. We will schedule follow up laboratory and medical follow up approximately 4-6 weeks from your initial visit. Lab results are an important tool for optimal hormone replacement. Results are provided and discussed on the day of your actual appointment. The lab tests we recheck are based on sub-optimal levels from your original lab results and the hormone replacement therapy you are prescribed. Unfortunately, we cannot reorder HRT prescriptions if your labs are not rechecked as scheduled. If at any time a patient is more than thirty days past due for lab work or an office visit, a restart program will be required.
