Hormone therapy involves using medications and supplements to treat hormonal imbalances and deficiencies. Maintaining healthy hormone levels is essential for overall health and wellbeing. When hormones fall out of balance, patients may experience symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, low libido, anxiety, and more.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help restore optimal hormone levels, leading to improved quality of life. HRT is customized based on lab testing to identify each patient's unique hormonal needs.
At Second Spring Hormone Clinic in El sobrante, we specialize in evidence-based hormone optimization protocols to help patients feel their best at any age.

Testosterone is crucial for men's health. It regulates libido, muscle mass, strength, energy, cognitive function, and more. Low testosterone, or low T, is increasingly common among aging men but can occur at any age due to health conditions, stress, or medications.
Signs and symptoms of low T may include:
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can effectively treat low T. With customized treatment protocols including medications, nutrition, and lifestyle changes, most men see significant benefits within a few weeks. TRT can:
At Second Spring Hormone Clinic, we create fully personalized plans to meet each patient's needs and goals with TRT. Treatment is carefully monitored with regular lab testing and follow-up appointments to ensure optimal and safe testosterone levels.
Estrogen is the predominant sex hormone in women that peaks during the reproductive years. It is essential for reproductive health as well as bone, heart, brain, and skin health.
During perimenopause and menopause, estrogen levels decline causing uncomfortable symptoms including:
Estrogen hormone replacement therapy can provide immense relief by replenishing estrogen to restore hormonal balance. When combined with testosterone and/or progesterone as needed, estrogen HRT:
Second Spring Hormone Clinic custom-blends bioidentical hormones using FDA-approved medications to match the molecular structure of hormones produced naturally in women's bodies. This allows for the most natural form of HRT with fewer risks and side effects compared to synthetic hormone drugs. We find the optimal dosage and delivery method - oral pills, patches, gels or pellets - for each woman's needs.

The thyroid gland produces hormones that control metabolism - the conversion of food and oxygen into energy. Even small dips in thyroid hormones can cause uncomfortable symptoms:
Hypothyroidism means the thyroid gland does not make sufficient hormones. Hashimoto's disease is the most common cause. Hyperthyroidism is overproduction of thyroid hormones, often due to Grave's disease.
Getting the right thyroid treatment allows patients to finally feel like themselves again! After thorough testing, we prescribe natural desiccated thyroid medications or synthetic T4/T3 drugs to restore optimal thyroid function. Lifestyle and nutrition guidance also helps overcome the frustration of thyroid disorders.

Growth hormone (GH) remains important for health and function throughout life, not just childhood development. When the pituitary gland reduces growth hormone output around mid-life, adults may experience:
Growth hormone deficiency is quite common but frequently undiagnosed. Only specialized blood tests can accurately identify impaired GH levels. At Second Spring Hormone Clinic, we conduct thorough screening and offer pharmaceutical growth hormone therapy when clinically appropriate and under careful supervision given potential side effects. Along with customized nutrition plans, growth hormone optimization helps patients gain strength, improve body composition, support brain health, and reduce disease risks.
} Don't settle for feeling older than your years. We can help patients at risk of growth hormone deficiency regain strength, mental sharpness and healthier aging. }
In addition to sex hormones, thyroid and growth hormone, Second Spring Hormone Clinic also diagnoses and treats deficiencies in:
Cortisol - the stress hormone from the adrenal glands. Low cortisol causes fatigue but excess also leads to weight gain and high blood sugar.
Melatonin - regulates sleep/wake cycles. Melatonin supplementation can treat insomnia without habit-formation risks of sleep medications.
DHEA - improves energy, immunity, bone density and potentially longevity. Levels peak around age 25 then decline.
Balancing all key hormones together allows for optimal health with advancing age. Our expert physicians and nurses tailor combination therapies to your unique needs.
} You deserve to have the energy, mental sharpness and health you want throughout life. Second Spring Hormone Clinic can uncover hidden hormone deficiencies making you feel years older than your actual age! }
Virtually all adults over 35 have some degree of hormone decline. Even younger individuals can develop deficiencies due to health conditions, genetics, poor lifestyle habits or environmental influences.
Anyone experiencing difficult menopause symptoms, fatigue, stubborn weight gain, loss of strength, reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, poor sleep, mood changes, lack of motivation, or mental fog may have an underlying hormone imbalance.
Certain medications also deplete key hormones. Optimizing hormones often allows patients to reduce reliance on drugs treating individual symptoms.
Hormone testing is crucial to identify deficiencies. Symptoms alone cannot definitively diagnose hormonal conditions. Second Spring Hormone Clinic provides state-of-the-art blood, saliva and urine testing to accurately assess hormone status.
If testing reveals a hormonal deficiency or imbalance, HRT may significantly improve quality of life. Our highly trained hormone specialists have decades of experience designing custom treatment regimens for men and women tailored to your unique needs and goals.
