Ageless Hormone Optimization
Ageless Hormone Optimization
Helping you Look and Feel your Best!
Through this program, we want to empower middle-aged adults to take control of their aging with lifestyle, hormone balance, and prescriptions when appropriate.
Why is Hormone Balance Important?
Hormone imbalance and aging can significantly impact your quality of life. Here’s how hormone imbalances can affect your wellness:
1. Skin & Hair Changes
Declines in estrogen levels during menopause can lead to thinner skin, less collagen production, and reduced skin elasticity. Lower testosterone levels in men can lead to hair thinning or loss. Excess estrogen or testosterone in peri-menopause can lead to acne.
2. Bone Density Reduction
Lower levels of estrogen and testosterone can lead to reduced bone density, increasing the risk of osteoporosis.
3. Muscle Mass Decline
Growth hormone and testosterone play important roles in maintaining muscle mass. A decrease in these hormones with age can lead to the age-related loss of muscle tissue.
4. Metabolic Changes
A decline in hormones like thyroid hormones or insulin sensitivity can result in slowed metabolism, weight gain, and an increased risk of metabolic syndromes. These conditions accelerate inflammation and aging.
5. Memory & Cognitive Effects
Imbalances in hormones such as cortisol, estrogen, and thyroid hormones might impact memory, weight distribution, and cognitive functions.
6. Mood & Mental Health
Fluctuations in hormones, especially during events like menopause or andropause, can influence mood, leading to conditions like depression or anxiety.
7. Cardiovascular Effects
Hormonal imbalances can lead to increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, with estrogen having a protective effect on the cardiovascular system.
Our Approach
We focus on a functional medicine approach for both middle-aged women and men, addressing the root cause of inflammation behind aging and weight gain.
Our program includes:
- Evaluation of hormone panels to identify imbalances or deficiencies
- Hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and pharmaceutical-grade supplements if clinically indicated
- Evidence-based anti-aging options such as Botox, Dermal Fillers, Topical treatments, peptides, exosomes, supplements, and other innovative technologies
- Regular monitoring and adjustment of your personalized treatment plan

Testing Options
Blood Work: Comprehensive baseline testing including hormones, inflammatory markers, liver and kidney function, thyroid function, and more.
DUTCH Test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones): The DUTCH test provides a detailed analysis of hormone levels and their metabolites through dried urine samples. This advanced testing is particularly valuable for women considering hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as it reveals:
- How your body metabolizes hormones
- Your natural hormone production patterns throughout the day
- Stress hormone levels and patterns
- Markers for inflammation and oxidative stress
This comprehensive information helps us create a more precise and personalized hormone optimization plan.
Cost: $699.99 plus GST
