Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate many critical bodily functions. When hormone levels become too high or low, you may experience troublesome signs and symptoms. At Hormone Harmony in Jackson, we offer cutting-edge hormone testing and optimization therapies to help you regain health and vitality.
Declining hormone levels are an expected part of aging. However, stress, poor diet, lack of sleep and other lifestyle factors can accelerate hormonal imbalance. Blood, saliva or urine tests allow us to pinpoint your deficiencies or excesses. Based on the results, we create fully customized treatment plans to restore optimal function.
Catching and correcting hormonal dysregulation early is crucial for preserving vitality and preventing chronic illness. We offer both bioidentical hormone replacement therapies and natural hormone balancing protocols based on your individual needs.
Tracking your hormone levels over time provides key insights, such as:
Based on your symptoms and lab results, we can identify optimal hormone ranges for you rather than merely going by standard reference ranges. Optimal lab ranges allow you to feel your best even as you age.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can profoundly improve men's health, vitality and quality of life when levels decline due to aging or other causes. We offer cutting-edge TRT, carefully tailored based on your lab results, symptoms and health goals.
Many men start noticing unpleasant symptoms when total testosterone dips below 500 ng/dL. We will test your free and total testosterone along with other relevant hormones to assess whether TRT is right for you.
Testosterone therapy comes with risks if not properly managed, including side effects like oily skin, prostate issues and cardiovascular problems in some men. Our clinicians closely supervise your treatment to maximize benefits and safety.
Note: We never prescribe "one size fits all" testosterone regimens. Your dosage, medications and monitoring will be tailored based on lab results, risk factors and treatment goals.
For women and men, we also offer bioidentical hormones including estrogen, progesterone, DHEA and others to correct deficiencies or imbalances underlying health issues.
Let's discuss your symptoms and labs to explore whether hormone optimization is right for you!
If lab tests confirm low testosterone, our typical starting protocol is:
We also offer testosterone gels, pellets and other options for the right patients. Call us to discuss which method may be best for your needs.
Every treatment plan is fully customized based on your age, symptoms, medical history, lab results and health goals. We combine optimal testosterone therapy with nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle changes for the best possible outcomes.
Clinically, a low testosterone level is defined as anything below 264 ng/dL. But many men with levels in the 300-500 range still suffer bothersome hypogonadal symptoms.

Since hormone systems extensively interact, an imbalance in one area often causes dysregulation elsewhere. Comprehensive testing allows us to identify various deficiencies and imbalances contributing to your symptoms.
Based on test results and your history, we craft integrated treatment plans to optimize multiple hormones simultaneously. Supportive therapies enhance the benefits. We also offer guidance to improve diet, gut health, stress management and sleep for better outcomes.
Below we summarize key hormones we often focus on:
Low testosterone afflicts at least 20% of men over age 50. But symptoms may develop from late 30s onward due to illness, injury, medications, diets, weight gain or unknown reasons.
Symptoms may include fatigue, low libido, erectile dysfunction, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, irritability and depression. Diagnosis requires blood testing of total and free testosterone and other hormones.
We offer testosterone injections, gels, pellets and other treatment options tailored to your needs and preferences. Pellet implants in the hip/buttocks provide steady testosterone release for 3-6 months.
Not just women! Estrogen dominance is increasingly common in older men due to weight gain and environmental toxins. Symptoms resemble low testosterone. Estrogen inhibits testosterone production and impacts cardiovascular and prostate health.
We test estradiol and estrogen metabolites for a complete picture, along with testosterone and DHEA levels. Treatment may include an estrogen receptor blocker, aromatase inhibitor and DHEA supplementation. Improving diet and gut health also helps rebalance estrogen metabolism naturally.
An under or overactive thyroid causes far reaching symptoms related to metabolism, energy levels, cognition, mood, weight, digestion, skin health and periods. We test TSH along with free T4 and T3 for an accurate diagnosis.
Low thyroid function is treated with supplemental T4 or natural desiccated thyroid extract to relieve hypothyroid symptoms. Tapazole and dietary changes help address hyperthyroidism. Addressing causes like blood sugar imbalances, nutrient deficiencies and stress also helps stabilize thyroid function long-term.
Elevated cortisol from chronic stress drives insulin resistance, blood sugar swings, abdominal obesity and accelerated aging. Adrenal fatigue causes opposite symptoms.
We test blood, salivary or urine cortisol at different times of day to assess function. Supportive treatments like adaptogenic herbs, glutathione, vitamin C, magnesium and B complex help normalize cortisol levels and relieve stress.
Hormone tests can reveal important health insights beyond common issues like menopause or thyroid problems. For example, abnormally high testosterone in women can signal ovarian tumors, while low testosterone in men has been linked to depression and heart disease risk. Careful hormone screening can uncover these and other subtler conditions.
At Hormone Harmony Jackson, optimizing hormones is just one tool we use to help you achieve whole-body wellness. We combine cutting edge testing and treatments with nutritional therapies, stress reduction practices, fitness advice, and other modalities based on your health goals.
We take time to understand your health history, symptoms, lifestyle and priorities rather than providing just a quick fix. Ongoing partnership and communication with your clinician ensures your treatment plan evolves to meet changing needs for lifelong wellbeing.
Nutritional optimization: A whole foods diet low in sugar, high in produce, lean proteins, fiber and healthy fats provides nutrients while lowering inflammation and oxidative stress. We offer personalized meal planning and supplement recommendations.
Stress management: Excess cortisol drives hormone imbalance and accelerates aging. Our therapists teach breathwork, biofeedback, yoga, meditation and other techniques to activate the relaxation response.
Improved sleep habits: Quality sleep optimizes hormone production and reduces inflammatory signaling. We provide sleep hygiene advice and can check for sleep disordered breathing.
Increased movement: Regular exercise, activity and movement help normalize hormone levels and reduce body fat long term. We suggest fitness centers, pools, walking trails and recreational areas catering to your abilities and interests. Or work with our trainers!
With an integrated plan customized for your needs and goals, most find hormone therapy and related treatments life-changing. Contact us to discuss options or set up a consultation!
