Human growth hormone (HGH) is a key hormone produced in the pituitary gland that plays an important role in growth and development, especially during childhood and adolescence. As we get older, HGH production begins to decline, leading to various undesirable effects. HGH therapy involves supplementing with synthetic HGH to bring levels back up to restore health and vitality.
HGH therapy can produce impressive benefits when done correctly under medical supervision. At Hormone Harmony Clinic in Revere, we specialize in customized HGH therapy protocols to help patients look and feel their best.
Declining HGH levels can manifest in various symptoms. Being aware of these can help identify candidates for HGH therapy:
HGH plays a key role in building and maintaining lean muscle mass. Low HGH often equates to less muscle strength and endurance.
Especially abdominal/visceral body fat accumulation, which poses various health risks. Restoring HGH can help mobilize fat stores.
HGH helps strengthen bones. Deficiency can increase osteoporosis and fracture risk.
Thinning skin, reduced elasticity, and wrinkles can signal low HGH.
HGH boosts cellular energy production. Lack of vigor and endurance points to deficiency.
Mood swings, social withdrawal, and reduced motivation can develop with HGH decline.
HGH supports immune cell function. More frequent illnesses can manifest when low.
HGH boosts brain cell health and activity. Deficiency relates to mental decline.
From low libido to erectile dysfunction, HGH impacts sexual health and performance.
If experiencing a combination of these symptoms, HGH therapy may help get to the root cause and provide lasting relief.
HGH therapy is appropriate for otherwise healthy adults with a confirmed growth hormone deficiency. Key groups that can benefit include:
After age 30, HGH production slowly declines. Supplementing deficient levels can help reverse undesirable effects of aging.
Damage to the pituitary gland can impair natural HGH release. Direct HGH therapy circumvents this issue.
The pituitary is particularly vulnerable to trauma. Supplementing despite normal pituitary function helps accelerate healing.
Certain illnesses are marked by inflammation that can suppress HGH. Boosting levels supports recovery.
Hormone Harmony Clinic conducts thorough testing to diagnose true HGH deficiency and pinpoint optimal dosing strategies for each patient.
HGH therapy involves directly supplementing growth hormone levels to restore balance and homeostasis.
At Hormone Harmony Clinic, treatment involves a sequential process:
We conduct a detailed review of symptoms, medical history, and testing results to determine if HGH therapy is appropriate.
Posology protocols tailored to each patient based on their deficiency level, therapeutic goals, and other medications/supplements.
Routine testing and evaluations to monitor patient progress and ensure optimal outcomes from therapy. Adjustments made as needed.
Key point: No two patients or treatment plans are alike. Our medical team develops customized HGH therapy based on the individual.
While often associated with performance enhancement and anti-aging, HGH therapy was originally developed in 1985 as a treatment for children with growth hormone deficiency to help them achieve normal height and development. It was only later explored for other uses in healthy adults.
Hormone Harmony Clinic focuses exclusively on hormone balance therapies. For patients considering growth hormone therapy, our center offers:
Our physicians each have over 15 years of expertise specifically using bioidentical growth hormone therapy.
We only use high quality somatropins designed for injection use and validated for purity/potency. No questionable sources.
In-house testing allows us to screen hormone levels and monitor patient progress from start to finish.
We address lifestyle factors and use other therapies to complement HGH for optimal wellness.
Bottom line: Our clinic's sole focus on HRT provides patients with a higher level of care for growth hormone deficiency.
HGH therapy protocols are tailored for each patient at Hormone Harmony Clinic, but generally involve:
Growth hormone and IGF-1 lab assays establish baseline levels and gauge deficiency severity.
Ongoing blood tests during therapy to monitor progress and make dosage adjustments.
Self-administered into fatty tissue using small insulin-type needles. Injections done 3-7 times weekly.
Strategic on/off sequencing to balance clinical effects and avoid side effects.
70% of HGH deficient patients also have low testosterone, so dual therapy often advised.
Key Takeaway: Treatment must be individualized and monitored over time for best results.
Patients respond differently, but most experience benefits within 3-6 months like:
Muscle gain, fat loss, skin improvement, energy boost, better immunity, enhanced libido, etc.
Increase in muscle mass and decrease in body fat percentage.
More strength, speed, power, endurance for sports and activities.
Better lipid profiles, glucose control, blood pressure for reduced CVD risk.
From fat loss, tighter skin, reduced wrinkles, and thicker hair. Improved self-confidence.
Mood, memory, and quality of life enhancements.
HGH therapy improves several aspects of health. Positive effects accumulate over months of consistency.
HGH therapy works best alongside healthy lifestyle modifications like:
Emphasizing protein, healthy fats and complex carbs. Timed nutrient intake to maximize HGH.
Particularly lifting weights/HIIT to boost endogenous HGH release.
Deep sleep is when the most natural HGH production occurs.
Chronic stress raises cortisol and impairs HGH benefits.
Excess alcohol, smoking, inadequate sun exposure, etc.
We help patients implement simple evidence-based strategies to get the most from growth hormone therapy.
Since growth hormone impacts so many aspects of health, deficiency can accelerate development of various chronic diseases.
Key risks of prolonged HGH deficiency include:
Furthermore, some benefits of HGH therapy require consistency over time. Muscle and bone accrual, for example, is a gradual process.
In short, patients should not delay HGH treatment once deficiency is definitively diagnosed through blood testing. Reversing deficiency early leads to better therapeutic response and reduced risk of associated conditions.
Our clinic offers rapid diagnosis and treatment startup for patients exhibiting hormone deficiency signs. We also provide long term medical oversight throughout therapy.
