Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment designed to supplement or replace hormones that the body no longer produces in sufficient quantities. As we age, hormone levels naturally decline, leading to various symptoms that can affect our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. HRT aims to restore hormonal balance, alleviate these symptoms, and improve overall quality of life.
At Dr. GolBerg Functional & Aesthetic Medicine in NYC, we offer personalized HRT treatments tailored to your specific needs. Our approach focuses on addressing the root cause of hormonal imbalances, not just masking symptoms. We utilize advanced testing methods to assess your hormone levels accurately and develop a customized treatment plan that aligns with your health goals and lifestyle.

We'll discuss your symptoms, medical history, and health goals to gain a complete understanding of your unique situation. Based on these findings, Dr. GolBerg will develop a personalized HRT plan tailored to your needs.

By restoring hormonal balance, HRT can alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, low libido, fatigue, weight gain, and mood swings, significantly improving your overall quality of life.
Hormone Replacement Therapy offers numerous benefits for both men and women experiencing hormonal imbalances. Patients often report increased energy levels, improved mood stability, enhanced cognitive function, and better sleep quality. HRT can also help maintain bone density, reduce the risk of osteoporosis, and improve cardiovascular health.
For women, HRT can effectively manage menopausal symptoms, restore vaginal health, and improve skin elasticity. Men may experience increased muscle mass, improved libido, and better erectile function. Overall, HRT can help you feel more vibrant, focused, and emotionally balanced, allowing you to enjoy life to its fullest.
Ideal candidates for HRT are individuals experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance that significantly impact their quality of life. This may include men and women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond who are dealing with age-related hormonal changes. However, younger individuals with specific hormonal disorders may also benefit from HRT.
To determine if you're a suitable candidate for HRT, Dr. GolBerg will conduct a thorough evaluation of your health status, symptoms, and hormone levels. It's important to note that HRT may not be recommended for individuals with certain medical conditions or a history of hormone-sensitive cancers. During your consultation, we'll discuss your medical history and any potential risks or contraindications.
The timeline for experiencing results from HRT can vary depending on individual factors and the specific hormones being addressed. Some patients report feeling improvements within a few weeks of starting treatment, while others may take a few months to notice significant changes.
Initial improvements often include better sleep quality, increased energy levels, and mood stabilization. Over time, you may notice additional benefits such as improved muscle tone, enhanced libido, and better cognitive function.
The duration of HRT effects is ongoing as long as you continue the treatment. Regular follow-up appointments and hormone level monitoring are essential to ensure your therapy remains effective and properly balanced. Dr. GolBerg will work closely with you to adjust your treatment plan as needed, providing long-lasting results and optimal wellness.
