In-Home HRT

Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for Men and Women

As we age, hormone levels naturally decline, leading to a range of physical and emotional changes that can affect overall health and vitality. At Longitude Health, we offer personalized hormone replacement therapy (HRT) designed to restore balance, improve well-being, and support long-term health. Our at-home service brings the benefits of HRT directly to you, ensuring convenience and comfort.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) involves restoring key hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone to optimal levels. As hormone production decreases with age, the body’s ability to maintain muscle mass, energy levels, mental clarity, and overall metabolic health can be significantly affected.

Our HRT protocols are designed to mimic the body’s natural rhythms and hormonal balance. Through regular monitoring and personalized adjustments, we aim to enhance your body’s natural function and longevity potential.

HRT for Women

Hormonal Changes in Women

During perimenopause and menopause, estrogen and progesterone levels drop significantly. This hormonal shift can cause:

✅ Hot flashes and night sweats

✅ Sleep disturbances and fatigue

✅ Mood swings and irritability

✅ Decreased libido and vaginal dryness

✅ Loss of bone density and increased fracture risk

✅ Weight gain and slowed metabolism

Benefits of Estrogen and Progesterone Therapy:

  • Reduction in Hot Flashes and Night Sweats – HRT helps regulate the body’s temperature control mechanisms.
  • Improved Sleep Quality and Mood Stability – Restoring hormonal balance reduces night-time awakenings and mood swings.
  • Enhanced Sexual Health and Libido – Estrogen improves vaginal lubrication and increases sexual responsiveness.
  • Better Bone Health and Density – HRT reduces the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
  • Increased Energy and Mental Clarity – Hormonal balance supports mitochondrial function and mental sharpness.

HRT for Men

Why Testosterone Declines

Testosterone levels begin to decline around the age of 30, dropping by approximately 1% per year. This decline can lead to:

✅ Reduced muscle mass and strength

✅ Fatigue and low energy levels

✅ Decreased libido and sexual performance

✅ Mood changes, including irritability and depression

✅ Increased body fat and difficulty losing weight

✅ Brain fog and reduced cognitive function

Benefits of Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT):

  • Increased Muscle Mass and Strength – Testosterone supports protein synthesis and muscle repair, helping to maintain lean body mass.
  • Enhanced Sexual Function and Libido – TRT has been shown to improve erectile function, sexual desire, and performance.
  • Improved Mood and Mental Clarity – Restoring testosterone levels can reduce feelings of depression and irritability while enhancing focus and concentration.
  • Higher Energy Levels and Vitality – Men often experience increased stamina and reduced fatigue with balanced testosterone levels.
  • Improved Fat Metabolism and Body Composition – Testosterone enhances fat burning and promotes lean muscle development.
