What is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?
Hormone replacement therapy is a medical treatment designed to restore hormones that naturally decline with age or become imbalanced due to underlying health conditions.
As hormone levels change, many people begin experiencing symptoms that impact their quality of life, including fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, mood changes, poor sleep, reduced libido, and loss of muscle mass.
Hormone therapy works by identifying deficiencies through laboratory testing and developing a personalized treatment plan that helps bring hormones back into an optimal range.
For women, treatment may focus on estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or a combination of hormones depending on symptoms and lab results.
For men, treatment often focuses on optimizing testosterone levels when clinically appropriate and medically indicated.
Our Hormone Therapy Programs
Hormone Therapy for Women
Women often experience changes in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels during perimenopause, menopause, and other stages of life. Depending on symptoms and lab results, treatment may include one hormone or a personalized blend designed to support energy, mood, sleep, libido, body composition, and overall wellbeing.
Hormone Therapy for Men
For men, hormone optimization typically focuses on testosterone. As testosterone levels decline, symptoms such as fatigue, reduced muscle mass, decreased libido, brain fog, and poor recovery can become more noticeable. Personalized testosterone therapy may help restore balance and improve quality of life when medically appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hormone Replacement Therapy
What is hormone replacement therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment that helps restore hormone levels that have declined or become imbalanced. Treatment plans are customized based on symptoms, lab results, age, and health history.
How do I know if my hormones are imbalanced?
Common signs include:
- fatigue
- weight gain
- poor sleep
- brain fog
- mood changes
- low libido
- decreased muscle mass
A consultation and laboratory evaluation can help determine whether hormones may be contributing.
Is hormone replacement therapy safe?
When prescribed and monitored appropriately, hormone therapy can be a safe and effective treatment option for many patients. Regular follow-up visits and laboratory monitoring are important parts of treatment.
What hormones are commonly treated?
The hormones included in treatment depend on your symptoms, lab results, and overall health goals.
For women, therapy may focus on estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or a personalized combination of these hormones. Many women benefit from a customized approach, especially during perimenopause and menopause when multiple hormones may be changing at the same time.
For men, treatment typically focuses on optimizing testosterone levels when clinically appropriate.
Every treatment plan at Chronos is individualized based on comprehensive lab testing and physician-guided care.
How long does it take to feel results?
Many patients begin noticing improvements within several weeks, although timelines vary depending on the individual, treatment plan, and hormone levels.
Do I need lab work before starting hormone therapy?
Yes. Hormone therapy begins with comprehensive lab testing to evaluate your hormone levels and identify potential imbalances. Combined with a review of your symptoms, health history, and goals, this information helps your provider create a treatment plan that is personalized to your needs.
At What Age Should I Start Hormone Therapy?
There is no specific age when someone should start hormone therapy. The right time depends on your symptoms, hormone levels, overall health, and personal goals.
For men, hormone changes can begin earlier than many realize, with some experiencing symptoms of low testosterone as early as their mid-30s.
For women, hormone fluctuations often become more noticeable during perimenopause and menopause. Many women begin seeking hormone evaluation in their 40s and beyond as symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood changes, weight gain, and low energy begin to affect their quality of life.
Rather than focusing on age alone, we focus on how you feel, what your lab work shows, and whether hormone optimization may be appropriate for your individual needs.
Don't Settle for Feeling "Off"
Many people assume fatigue, weight gain, poor sleep, and declining energy are simply part of getting older.
Sometimes, they're signs that your hormones deserve a closer look.
