Many individuals experience a decline in key hormones as they age, leading to potentially serious deficiency signs and symptoms. At Balance Hormone Clinic in South Plainfield, we specialize in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to help patients restore optimal hormonal balance.
HRT involves supplementing the body with bioidentical forms of hormones that become deficient. This can provide remarkable benefits for both men and women. When delivered properly and precisely matched to one's individual hormonal needs, HRT can help patients feel healthier, more energetic and more like their younger selves again.
There are a few key hormones that commonly decline with age:
Some common deficiency signs and symptoms our clinicians look for include:
Men: Low energy, diminished sex drive and performance, weight gain, loss of muscle mass, emotional changes, sleep disruption, depression, fatigue, poor concentration
Women: Hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, incontinence, bone loss, changes in cardiovascular function, loss of skin elasticity, fatigue, poor memory
The risk of hormone deficiency rises significantly for both men and women beginning around age 30. Diagnosing and properly treating imbalances early is crucial for maintaining wellness and preventing long-term issues.
Unfortunately, mainstream medicine is sometimes slow to recognize and treat hormone disorders. Many symptoms are dismissed as "normal aging". But ongoing deficiencies can substantially impact one's quality of life while also increasing risks for serious health conditions over the long run:
Men health risks: Heart disease, diabetes, metabolic disorders, infertility, bone loss leading to fractures and breaks
Women health risks: Heart disease risk, bone fractures, joint disorders, persistent menopause symptoms
This is why timely testing, proper diagnosis and customized hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is so essential. With an individualized treatment plan matched to one's unique needs, most hormone deficiency symptoms can typically be reduced or eliminated - allowing patients to regain their vitality and continue enjoying life on their own terms regardless of age.
Here at Balance Hormone Clinic located conveniently in South Plainfield, NJ, we specialize in precision hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Our clinicians have extensive expertise in optimizing hormonal balance and wellness specific to each patient's needs.

Regulating testosterone is critical for men over 30, as levels decline an average of 1-2% per year from that point onward. Low testosterone (Low T) leads to distressing symptoms that substantially reduce quality of life while increasing risks for other serious conditions.
TRT primarily utilizes bioidentical testosterone specially formulated for each patient based on their needs and goals. Highly customized options we provide include:
TRT is highly effective at alleviating Low T symptoms when properly administered and monitored by our experienced medical team. Patients often begin feeling dramatic benefits within the first weeks to months of optimized therapy.
Declining estrogen / progesterone levels during perimenopause and menopause can generate distressing short and long-term impacts for women. BHRT provides individualized supplementation with bioidentical hormones to restore balance. Options include:
In addition to reducing menopause symptoms, BHRT protects bone health, heart function and skin elasticity while also lifting mood and energy levels. Our team specializes in supporting women through this important transition with individualized therapy based on their needs.
Recent research has found that hormone therapy started early in menopause may provide cognitive benefits for some women. A 2021 study showed that women who began estrogen-only therapy within 6 years of menopause had better verbal memory and thinking skills decades later compared to women who never took hormones.
In addition to advanced testing, precision dosing and continual monitoring of hormone levels, Balance Hormone Clinic also provides patients with personalized lifestyle guidance and referrals to further support treatment success. Key areas we educate and offer direction on include:
We also provide referrals to excellent local wellness providers that can further support optimal hormone health through nutrition services, mental health counseling, spas/massage, fitness training and more.
