Mini Case Study: Two Different Patients – Same Positive HRT Results

Real people having real results enter our office daily. Whether it’s our staff or a room full
of patients, the optimism and good vibes at Ideal Medical Advanced Hormone Therapy
make it a great place to work and be a client.

Striving to bring great service and results to our patients is our mission. It’s the real life
stories that breathe life into the day-to-day affirmations that HRT is changing people’s
lives.

The following two patient profiles are just small samples taken from an ever-expanding
group of people, women in these cases, who decided to take action to improve their
health, and subsequently their lives.

Case 1

A 54-year-old woman presented with menopausal-like symptoms including hot flashes,
insomnia, brain fog, fatigue, and irritability. Her medical history included having an
endometrial ablation years prior, which caused her to not have her monthly period. Her
lab results completed with us showed a normal (follicle stimulating hormone) FSH and
estradiol level, so she was NOT in menopause. She had a low testosterone level and
suboptimal thyroid function. 

Her treatment plan involved Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
including subcutaneous testosterone pellets, and Natural Desiccated Thyroid (NDT)
pills, along with vitamin D and B supplements.

After five weeks of treatment she was sleeping through the night, had energy in the
evenings, and was much more alert and felt great.

At Advanced Hormone Therapy each patient completes the following questionnaire
when they become a client. We then administer a follow-up questionnaire to evaluate
the changes that occur after a select period of time to document the result of their HRT
protocol.

Please see below for her pre-treatment and post-treatment results for more specific
improvements.

Case 2

A 56-year-old female presented with menopausal symptoms, but mostly reported
extreme difficulty losing weight, and was experiencing low libido. Her lab results
indicated that she was in menopause and had a low testosterone level.  

Her treatment plan involved BHRT subcutaneous testosterone and estradiol pellets with
additional progesterone cream applied at night.
 
After a few months of treatment she had lost 20lbs and felt great. She reported that her
libido was much improved. Please see below for her pre-treatment and post-treatment
results for more specific improvements.

It is important to note that these patients came in with individual concerns that needed
to be addressed. Through their personal evaluations including current and past health
concerns and lab tests, their treatment plans fit their specific needs. These are two
stories that offer a glimpse into the outcomes HRT can bring to our patients, and to
anyone who might be reading this right now.
