Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a vital hormone produced in the pituitary gland that stimulates growth, cell reproduction and regeneration. As we age, HGH production declines substantially, leading to lower energy levels, decreased bone density, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, poor sleep quality, mood changes and impaired thinking skills.
HGH injections can safely and effectively replace diminishing growth hormone levels, providing impressive anti-aging and restorative effects for both men and women. When administered under medical supervision, HGH therapy can help reverse age-related declines, improve body composition, enhance physical and mental wellbeing, and promote a youthful state of homeostasis.
The gradual onset of growth hormone deficiency in adults rarely causes abrupt or disabling symptoms. However, chronic HGH deficiency does lead to a number of undesirable effects that accumulate over time, significantly deteriorating health and quality of life.
Common signs and symptoms of low growth hormone levels include:
If you are experiencing any combination of these symptoms as a result of declining HGH levels, growth hormone replacement therapy may help ameliorate these effects and greatly enhance your health and function.
Restoring youthful growth hormone levels can produce transformative improvements throughout the body and mind. Patients undergoing HGH therapy administered by our highly qualified medical providers report life-changing benefits such as:
Human growth hormone plays a vital role in the development and maintenance of lean muscle mass. HGH stimulates muscle protein synthesis while inhibiting protein breakdown. These anabolic effects markedly increase skeletal muscle tone, size, strength and physical capacity.
HGH directly incinerates stored body fat for fuel while limiting the creation of new fat cells. By mobilizing fat and preventing excess fat accumulation - especially around the abdomen - HGH therapy elicits impressive weight loss and sculpting effects.
Osteoporosis is often exacerbated by declining HGH levels. Growth hormone therapy strengthens the structural matrix of bone, increases bone mineral content, and reduces the risk of fractures.
Patients undergoing growth hormone replacement commonly report substantial surges in energy, drive and vitality. HGH rouses the body's natural metabolic processes, fueling cellular regeneration and productive activity.
In those prone to anxiety, depression or cognitive decline, HGH therapy often induces profoundly positive mental effects - sharper focus and memory, balanced mood, motivation and improved outlook.
As a rejuvenating agent active throughout the skin, HGH boosts collagen synthesis, improves skin thickness and texture, alleviates wrinkling and enhances moisture retention. Hair regains luster and strength from within.
Growth hormone exerts immuno-modulatory effects by enhancing thymus gland activity and boosting production of immune cells. HGH re-balances inflammatory responses for optimal wellness.
The collective physical effects of HGH allow for increased workout intensity, shorter recovery times, expanded endurance and more efficient muscle building in response to resistance training.
In both men and women, correcting growth hormone decline can spark renewed sexual desire, frequency, pleasure and performance - effects underpinned by balanced hormone levels, increased energy, improved physique, and elevated confidence.
Since human growth hormone decline is usually gradual, onset of deficiency tends to be subtle rather than acute. Symptoms accumulate slowly and are often attributed to "normal aging". However diagnostic blood testing can easily determine if a growth hormone deficiency exists.
Diagnosis of adult growth hormone deficiency involves a simple blood test measuring levels of IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1). As HGH release from the pituitary gland declines, the liver produces less IGF-1. Therefore, circulating IGF-1 levels serve as an excellent hormonal marker of HGH status.
The Renewed Balance Clinic provides full hormone testing services in our state-of-the-art facility to accurately evaluate growth hormone and IGF-1 status. If tests confirm a hormone deficiency, our medical team will review treatment options including HGH replacement therapy to restore optimal hormonal balance.
While often associated with performance enhancement or anti-aging, HGH therapy was originally developed in 1985 as a treatment for childhood growth hormone deficiency to help short-statured children reach normal height during adolescence.
At the Renewed Balance Clinic, advanced hormone replacement therapies are administered under close medical supervision to replenish deficient hormonal levels, restore optimal balance, alleviate undesirable symptoms, and promote sustainable good health.
Our clinic director Dr. Erika Entwistle brings over 15 years of experience in endocrinology, anti-aging medicine and hormone replacement therapies for both men and women. She leads an expert medical team supporting patients through every aspect of their treatment journey.
"Our goal is always to promote patients' overall wellbeing, vitality and quality of life through customized hormone balancing protocols designed for safety and efficacy." - Dr. Erika Entwistle
To initiate hormone therapy, patients attend an extensive consultation where their needs, symptoms, health history and goals are discussed at length. Physical exam and diagnostics tests are conducted. Baseline blood tests establish existing hormone levels. If medically indicated, an appropriate treatment plan is devised for the individual.
Follow-up consultations, blood tests and dosage adjustments are routinely performed to ensure treatment effectiveness and safety. Patients also receive nutritional guidance, supplement recommendations and lifestyle advice to support their therapy.
Ongoing patient education, open communication and attentive care instill confidence in our hormone replacement programs. Patients become active partners in sustaining their long-term health through balanced hormones and positive lifestyle choices.
For growth hormone replacement, injectable recombinant human growth hormone (somatropin) is administered subcutaneously (under the skin) on a regular basis. This bioidentical form of HGH provides therapeutic effects identical to the body’s naturally produced hormone.
When injected, the somatropin hormone bonds to target cell receptors and activates anti-aging processes of vital tissue growth and regeneration. Youthful homeostasis balanced between muscle gain and fat loss allows the body to function at full capacity.
HGH injections should only be prescribed and monitored by a medical professional experienced in clinical hormone therapy. The Renewed Balance Clinic medical team carefully evaluates patients’ needs and administers customized treatment regimens designed for safety, efficacy, and measurable improvement of wellness indicators over time.
During the initial weeks of growth hormone therapy, metabolic changes may cause temporary fluid retention. Our clinicians advise patients regarding best practices to minimize potential side effects. Diet and exercise modifications may be recommended. Follow up lab tests also ensure hormone, blood sugar and electrolyte levels normalize.
As the body adjusts, side effects subside while profound benefits emerge. Most patients achieve excellent clinical results and enhanced quality of life through properly monitored growth hormone therapy.
The skilled practitioners at Renewed Balance Clinic specialize in hormone testing, imbalance diagnoses, customized treatment plans, and long-term management of hormone therapies. Our experts stay current on the latest medical research and clinical applications of hormone balancing science.
