Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) involves supplementing hormones that decline naturally with age. It can provide relief from unpleasant menopausal symptoms and prevent long-term health issues caused by hormone deficiency. HRT helps restore hormone balance, so the body functions optimally.
At Balance Clinic in Surfside Beach, South Carolina, we specialize in customized and holistic hormone replacement therapy to help you look and feel your best. Our experienced holistic hormone specialists use advanced testing to determine your unique hormonal needs and create treatment plans tailored to your individual biochemistry.
Many men start experiencing hormone deficiency in their late 30s to early 40s, although symptoms may not become apparent for 5-10 years. Low testosterone levels can cause:

That's why more and more men are turning to testosterone therapy to enhance their vitality and quality of life as they age.
We begin with advanced hormonal testing to accurately determine your hormone levels. This includes:
| Hormone | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Total and free testosterone | Both should be measured |
| Estradiol | Assess balance with testosterone |
| Thyroid hormones TSH, free T3 and T4 | Evaluate thyroid function |
| FSH and LH | Determine if issues are primary or secondary |
| PSA and hematocrit | Assess prostate health and cardiovascular risk |
| Vitamin D | Check for deficiency |
| DHEA-S | Precursor of testosterone |
Testing is done first thing in the morning when hormone levels are highest. This helps provide an accurate baseline.
Ongoing testing allows us to fine-tune your treatment plan to keep hormones balanced and avoid side effects. We also consider your lifestyle, diet, fitness level, stress, medical history, and health goals.
At Balance Clinic, we focus on the whole person, not just numbers on lab reports. Our holistic hormone doctors take time to understand your unique needs before creating customized treatment plans.
Rather than only prescribing hormones, we address all contributing factors - lifestyle, nutrition, stress management, fitness. This integrative approach helps you achieve optimal wellness and vitality.
We also coordinate care with your primary physician. At Balance Clinic, your health, safety and satisfaction are our top priorities.

The process begins with your comprehensive evaluation and diagnostic testing. This allows us to identify hormone imbalances and determine the safest, most effective treatment options.
For testosterone replacement, we often prescribe bioidentical testosterone gels, creams or injections based on your needs and preferences. Patches and pellet implants that gradually release hormones are options as well.
We start with lower doses and adjust levels based on follow-up testing and symptom response. Most men notice improvements in 3-6 weeks with optimal benefits in 3-6 months. That's why consistent long-term treatment is key.
