Why Hormones Matter
Bodily Functions Controlled by Hormones
Hormones are in charge of operations and logistics. They are responsible for the communication of directives among cells in your body. From birth, they dictate growth, appetite, and digestion. They keep your immune system functioning and moderate your moods. Your libido and ability to sexually perform are also managed by hormones. Whether experiencing vaginal dryness or erectile dysfunction, hormones play a large role in the proper execution of these functions. Because hormones dictate so many of your bodily functions, imbalanced hormones can have a dramatic effect on your health and life.
The Slow Onset of Symptoms
It Didn’t Happen Overnight
Hormone levels should look like a steady stock on Wall Street. Yes, minor dips and bumps are expected, but overall the trend should follow a horizontal line. What happens as people age is that the overall trend starts to gently slope downward. Very rarely does someone experience an overnight market crash. Instead, their bodies tend to undergo a gradual decline that goes unnoticed until the symptoms start to inhibit daily life. The slow onset of symptoms prevents patients from getting the help they need at the early stages of their symptoms. The symptoms are accepted as normal or attributed to aging until a person reaches the threshold beyond which the symptoms are no longer tolerable.
How do You Know if You’re Experiencing Symptoms?
The truth is that most patients don’t realize they’re experiencing symptoms until the symptoms prevent them from going about their daily life. Over the course of months or years, patients experience a decline in energy levels. Their unexpected weight gain can’t be attributed to a change in diet or exercise. They may have noticed a decrease in muscle mass, sex drive, or mental acuity. They may have experienced an increase in body fat, mood swings, or hot flashes. All of these changes occur so gradually that they rise to the level of unbearable before a patient will seek help.
Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance:
- Fatigue
- Lack of sleep
- Memory issues
- Loss of sex drive
- Weight Gain
- Increased body fat
- Mood swings
- Hot flashes
- Vaginal dryness
How to Correct the Imbalance
Treating the Whole Patient
Hormone replacement therapy can be provided by numerous clinics, but the level of effectiveness is a direct reflection of the clinic’s dedication to you as an individual. Many clinics ask you a few questions, follow a standard flow chart, then select the treatment plan that most closely aligns to your symptoms. Such pre-packaged treatment plans don’t account for your body type, blood work, lifestyle, and unique symptoms. Matrix Hormones takes all of these factors into account when tailoring a treatment plan suited specifically to you. Because of our dedication to treating each patient as a whole, we don’t just look at hormone imbalance as the cause in isolation. We also assess your diet, exercise, and lifestyle to determine if any other factors are contributing to your symptoms. If that is the case, we have nutritionists who create custom diets to compensate for any nutritional deficiencies you may have. We recommend changes in exercise and lifestyle when such changes will enhance the effects of the hormone replacement therapy. These extra steps are the natural result of our dedication to treating the whole patient.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Because Every Patient is Unique
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy has experienced a dramatic rise in popularity due to its high rate of success. What distinguishes bioidentical treatments from ordinary hormone treatments is the compatibility of the treatment with your body. Derived from plant estrogens, these manmade hormones are created to be chemically identical to the hormones your body produces. These bioidentical hormones are guaranteed to assimilate into your body without risking rejection or lower rates of absorption into your body.
Maladies Treated by Hormone Replacement Therapy:
- Thyroid Disorders
- Osteoporosis
- Fibromyalgia
- Adrenal Fatigue
- Sexual Dysfunction
Thyroid Replacement Therapy
When Your Thyroid Malfunctions
Think of your thyroid as a soldier training facility in charge of recruitment and deployment of triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). When the thyroid malfunctions, the command center within it isn’t deploying enough hormones or the needed type of hormones to the body. Depending on exercise, diet, and stress levels, your body will need more of one hormone than another. Without the right combination and quantity of hormones, messages regulating your mood, weight, body temperature, energy levels, and other functions are lost and can result in any of the following symptoms:
- Fatigue or depression
- Lack of motivation
- Headaches and moodiness
- Cold hands and feet or a cold intolerance
- Unexplained weight gain or inability to lose weight
- Hair loss
- Brittle hair and nails
- Muscle aches and weakness
- Heavy menstrual periods or changes in menstrual cycles
How Thyroid Replacement Therapy Helps
If you have already been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism or simply suspect you suffer from hypothyroidism, Matrix Hormones can help. Our experienced doctors will run tests to determine exactly which hormones are imbalanced. From there, we investigate the cause of the imbalance so we can combine our hormone supplements with efforts to deter the cause. This combined approach to Thyroid Replacement Therapy helps ensure the most effective results. Return your hormones to balanced levels and get back to ideal health by scheduling your Matrix Hormones consultation today.
Low Testosterone (Low T )Treatment
What Results from Low Testosterone?
When you think of testosterone, you may immediately think of sex drive and muscle growth, but testosterone’s role is much more vital than that description entails. Testosterone is essential for men to maintain optimal health. In addition to libido and muscle mass, testosterone regulates emotions, maintains energy levels, and controls fat distribution. As men age, their testosterone levels naturally decrease by 1% each year; but environmental factors such as injury, illness, stress, medications, obesity, or alcoholism can also significantly effect these levels leading to a myriad of possible symptoms:
- Decreased muscle mass
- Inability to build muscle
- Lengthened workout recovery times
- Longer recovery times after a stress injury
- Low libido
- Muscle weakness
- Fatigue
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Moodiness
- Loss of motivation
- Low confidence
- Memory loss
- Trouble falling asleep
- Trouble staying asleep
Low Testosterone Treatment Options
At Matrix Hormones, we offer two low testosterone treatment options. After evaluating the cause of your low testosterone and the breadth of your deficiency, we will recommend either testosterone injections to supplement your natural supply or targeted stimulation to direct your body to produce more hormones naturally. Our recommendation is always based on your individual needs, a deep analysis of your body’s testosterone production, and your lifestyle.
Adrenal Fatigue
What is Adrenal Fatigue?
The adrenal glands are your body’s first line of defense against physical, mental, and emotional stress. They moderate your immune system, heart rate, and muscle tone. Whether experiencing physical stress from an injury or illness or experiencing emotional stress from work or a life crisis, your adrenal glands release hormones that allow you to cope. Adrenal Fatigue is a result of the overabundance of stress present in modern-day society. According to an Everest College survey, 83% of American professionals are stressed out at their jobs. Whether from the high demands of the job, lack of job security, or overly taxing time commitments, stress at work has become the rule rather than the exception. Our bodies are equipped to handle exceptional events like a death in the family or an unexpected injury, but the consistent levels of stress stretching for long periods of time in the workplace or at home leads to adrenal fatigue. Your adrenal glands cannot produce the hormones necessary to cope long-term. An extreme shock you are unable to get over could also lead to adrenal fatigue. When you receive devastating news, your heart rate jumps, your adrenaline spikes, and you may go into shock. Your adrenal glands should kick into gear and produce hormones that calm your heart rate and bring down your emotional and mental stress level. When the shock is severe and prolonged enough, your adrenal glands may exhaust themselves trying to keep up with your needs. The bad news is that adrenal fatigue is very hard to diagnose because the symptoms aren’t alarming or extreme and may be attributed to other factors.
Subtle signs of Adrenal Fatigue include:
- Difficulty waking up
- Needing stimulants like coffee in order to function
- Requiring multiple naps
- Inability to replenish strength or emotional well-being despite high quantities of sleep
Two-Pronged Treatment
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Of course, hormone replacement therapy can help with the immediate depletion of hormones from your adrenal gland, but more important than treating the symptoms is eliminating the cause. Your doctor at Matrix Hormones will ask you to be as honest as possible about the areas of your life producing stress and anxiety. You may be asked to make lifestyle adjustments, instructed on methods to approach stress, or asked who in your life can help relieve your burden. At Matrix Hormones, we don’t just provide band aids. We treat the whole patient so that they can heal from the inside out.
Female Sexual Dysfunction
No Clear Signs
Males have a much easier time diagnosing their own sexual dysfunction because there’s a clear anatomical indicator of whether they can perform. Women have no such visible sign. Instead, they may experience low libido, decreased orgasm, inability to orgasm, painful intercourse, or lack of lubrication. These symptoms may be mistakenly attributed to lack of attraction or aging. Women may also be unwilling to discuss such personal matters with their doctor or they believe the matter is not serious enough to seek help. Female sexual dysfunction can occur at any point in a woman’s life—long before menopause, during menopause, or after menopause. The cause could be attributed to physical problems, hormonal imbalances, or mental stress. Matrix Hormones will work to uncover the cause and develop a course of treatment to address the symptoms and, when possible, eliminate the cause.
Female Sexual Dysfunction
- Low libido or sexual desire levels
- High sexual desire levels but low physical arousal ability
- Problems reaching orgasm
- Pain or discomfort associated with sexual contact
Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Deflating More Than Just Your Ego
Erectile Dysfunction doesn’t only affect the elderly. It can attack males at any age making them unable to achieve or maintain an erection. The common result of ED, regardless of age, is the sense that this is a reflection of what makes you male—that somehow, you’ve lost your manhood or confidence. However, ED does not reflect your manliness or indicate a permanent loss of sexual prowess; biological or environmental factors can play a large role along with lifestyle habits and mental health. The key to addressing ED is to first identify the cause or combination of causes leading to lack of performance.
Possible Causes of Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
- Low testosterone
- Thyroid disorders
- Reactions to certain medications
- Prostate issues
- Obesity
- Alcohol, tobacco, or drug use
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Psychological disorders
Erectile Dysfunction Treatment
Houston, We Have Lift Off
Many men find themselves purchasing ED medication to address the symptom without any thought to eradicating the cause. The doctors of Matrix Hormones do a full-body workup and assessment to determine what might be causing the ED. They will also take into account your lifestyle, current medications, and mental health. ED does not often have a single cause but rather a combination of causes. We work to identify these causes so a proper treatment plan can be developed. Discovering any internal causes is essential not just for stopping ED but also for restoring your overall health. For example, if your ED is partly caused by prostate issues or low testosterone, you may actually be experiencing additional symptoms unrelated to ED as a result. At Matrix Hormones, we will look at your overall health and bodily functions to help determine any sources of ED and determine if those sources are adversely affecting other bodily functions. Regardless of the initial symptom that draws a patient to us, we look to restore patients to full health.
B12 Injections
Only the Best Ingredients
While B12 is one of the most common vitamin injections, the quality of the B12 injections varies greatly from clinic to clinic. Only Methylcobalamin is the most readily absorbed into your body. B12 helps your red blood cell production, aids you in maintaining a healthy nervous system, and—the reason athletes and energy drink companies value the vitamin so greatly—boosts your energy levels.
Signs of B12 Deficiency:
- Fatigue
- Breathlessness
- Memory trouble
- Reduction of red blood cells leading to anemia
Beyond B12
When patients hear about our B12 options, they often opt into the B-Complex with Vitamin C injections either in addition to our exclusive B12 injections or instead of a B12 only injection. The B-Complex with Vitamin C injection includes B2, B3, B6, and B12 which protect your cells and promote healing. The Vitamin C, of course, is included to boost your immune system. People experiencing bodily stress, suffering from an illness, traveling, or changing their normal schedule (working a week on night shift or entertaining guests in town) elect to promote good health with our combined B-Complex and Vitamin C injections. Better health, more energy, and higher immunity will help when life is throwing you curves. Call today to inquire more about our B12 and B-Complex options.
Hormone Imbalance is not permanent
Decreases in hormone levels are a natural part of aging. Everyone experiences hormone changes, decreases, and adjustments as they go through life. Unfortunately, some of these changes are more dramatic than others, and some can have a negative impact on your lifestyle and even your ability to complete day-to-day tasks. But don’t fret, our expert team is standing by ready to help you feel youthful again!
Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy
With the help of hormone replacement therapy, you can return your hormones to their normal levels and live comfortably again.
There are four main ways that hormone replacement therapy can help your body: mentally, physically, sexually, and in general performance.
For example, hormone therapy can restore your energy levels and reduce joint pains and aches (which are physical symptoms) while increasing your confidence, calmness, and concentration (which are mental symptoms). There are even factors that you might not think are related to your hormones at all, like changes to your immune system that can be improved by hormone replacement therapy.
Hormones can affect so many of your various bodily aspects that our physicians need to work closely to identify what changes are caused by hormones to improve them. This is why the team at Matrix Hormones believes in individual treatment plans, rather than cookie-cutter hormone treatment. We understand that every patient is unique and faces different challenges throughout their day-to-day lives.
Signs of a Hormone Problem
Symptoms of hormone problems manifest themselves in a variety of different ways. This is because hormones affect various systems and parts of the body. While hormone problems may affect one system for several months, you might only realize it (or take it seriously) when the symptoms become noticeable enough to disrupt your life.
Signs that You may need Hormone Replacement Therapy
- Fatigue
- Lack of sleep
- Memory issues
- Loss of sex drive
- Weight Gain
- Increased body fat
- Mood swings
- Hot flashes
- Vaginal dryness
Medical experts recommend reaching out about hormone deficiency if you are under the age of 30 and notice problems relating to your metabolism, sexual health, mood, body recovery, or development. Discuss your symptoms — and any other changes you may have noticed with your body — to learn whether or not you need hormone replacement therapy or hormone treatment.
Your hormones will fluctuate throughout your life and change depending on your lifestyle. Even if you have been healthy for several decades, natural changes to your body could affect your hormone levels and leave you feeling worse off than ever. At Matrix Hormones, our goal is to help get back to where you were so you can function at your best.
Types of Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone replacement therapy comes in a variety of forms depending on your needs and lifestyle. At Matrix Hormones, we create specific treatment plans to restore your hormone levels so your body operates at peak performance.
Hormone replacement therapy often comes in the form of injections, done either by the patient at regular intervals or by a medical professional. If you opt to give yourself the injections, our team will train you how to do it effectively and check in to make sure the process is going well.
Your doctor may also recommend changes to your diet and exercise plan, as well as lifestyle adjustments, to increase the effectiveness of the hormone treatments. This means you will follow a full body plan for improved health to promote long-term success.
