Hormonal Medicine

Hormone Therapy

Hormone therapy at St. George Hospital is used to restore and optimize hormonal balance. Hormonal imbalances are common in chronic disease and aging, affecting energy, immunity, mood, metabolism, and overall well-being.

Overview

What Is Hormone Therapy?

Hormones regulate virtually every system in the body. Chronic illness, prolonged stress, aging, and toxic burden can disrupt hormonal function. Hormone therapy identifies and corrects these imbalances using bioidentical hormones and targeted supplementation. The goal is not to override the body’s natural regulation but to support and restore it.

Mechanism

How Does It Work?

Treatment begins with comprehensive hormonal assessment, including thyroid panel, adrenal function, sex hormones, growth hormone markers, and melatonin levels. Based on the results, an individualized hormone optimization protocol is created. This may include bioidentical hormone replacement, thyroid support, adrenal support, and specific micronutrient supplementation to support hormonal pathways.

Patient Experience

What Does a Session Look Like?

Hormone therapy is typically administered as part of a broader treatment program. Initial assessment includes detailed blood testing and consultation. Treatment protocols are established during the hospital stay and may continue as home-based maintenance with periodic monitoring and adjustment.

Research

Evidence & Safety

Bioidentical hormone replacement has a substantial body of published evidence, particularly for thyroid, adrenal, and sex hormone optimization. The relationship between hormonal balance and immune function, energy metabolism, and disease recovery is well-documented in endocrinological literature.
