Human growth hormone (HGH) is an important hormone produced in the pituitary gland that helps regulate growth, metabolism, muscle and bone strength, brain function, mood, libido, and much more. As we age, HGH production naturally declines, leading to undesirable effects like weight gain, loss of strength and stamina, reduced sex drive, and cognitive decline.
HGH injections can help restore optimal hormone levels, counteract deficiency symptoms, improve vitality, and promote healthy aging. When administered properly and under medical supervision, HGH therapy offers a range of benefits:
The first step is to recognize the signs and symptoms of growth hormone deficiency, such as:
If several of these symptoms are present, hormone blood tests should be performed to check IGF-1, growth hormone, testosterone, thyroid, estrogen, cortisol, and other hormone levels. Wellness Hormone Clinic provides state-of-the art testing to accurately diagnose any deficiencies.
The optimal time to test hormones is early in the morning when levels are at their peak. Wellness Hormone Clinic offers blood draws and lab testing at our Ferndale office for patient convenience.
Based on test results and a comprehensive medical evaluation, our experienced hormone therapy doctors will determine if HGH or other hormone therapy is advisable. If growth hormone levels are low, HGH injections may be prescribed alongside adjustments to diet, exercise, and lifestyle for optimal benefits.
If our doctors determine HGH therapy is right for a patient's needs and hormone profile, they will provide a customized treatment plan including:
HGH injections are administered just under the skin, similar to insulin injections. The injections are done at home by the patient or a caregiver after receiving guidance from our medical team. Most patients adjust quickly to self-administering the short, nearly painless injections.
It is important to follow the prescribed therapy plan consistently without long lapses between injections. Maintaining stable growth hormone levels helps sustain benefits over months and years. Even short off-cycles can revert progress.
Wellness Hormone Clinic closely partners with patients to ensure consistency and optimize results. We provide support through appointment reminders, progress tracking, dosage adjustments if needed, and coaching around diet, exercise and lifestyle factors that impact hormones.
Alongside growth hormone therapy it is ideal to adopt diet, fitness and other habits that support healthy hormone levels including:
Wellness Hormone Clinic Drs Asim Kaleem and Harold Isaacson approaches hormone therapy from an integrated, holistic perspective, offering customized guidance based on your test results and health goals.
While often associated with illegal doping in sports, HGH injections are legally prescribed to treat children with growth disorders. A small percentage of otherwise healthy short children can safely gain a couple inches in height from a supervised regimen of HGH shots during childhood development.
When it comes to something as delicate as modulating hormone levels, it is essential to work with medical experts who specialize in hormone therapy. Wellness Hormone Clinic Drs are board-certified hormone therapy specialists with decades of experience safely using bioidentical hormones to correct deficiencies and improve patients' vitality.
