The Role of Hormones in Your Well-Being

Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones, and cortisol affect metabolism, bone health, and cognitive sharpness. Life phases such as perimenopause, andropause, or sustained high stress can disrupt these signals, producing hot flashes, muscle loss, or stubborn weight gain. We demystify each hormone’s function so you understand why symptoms emerge and what metrics we track to gauge success. For instance, thyroid hormones modulate mitochondrial efficiency, meaning even slight deficiencies can sap your stamina despite adequate caloric intake. Educating you about nutrient cofactors—such as selenium for thyroid conversion or vitamin D for estrogen receptor function—empowers you to support hormonal pathways from multiple angles.

Your Treatment Process and Monitoring at Newvue

Your Seattle hormone replacement journey begins with a comprehensive physical exam where we measure your blood pressure, body-composition metrics, and thyroid palpation to create a robust baseline. Your initial labs include lipid profile, fasting insulin, inflammatory markers, and micronutrient levels, so we can correct contributing imbalances concurrently. Six weeks after your therapy begins, we will repeat key labs, allowing for timely dose adjustments. Between your office visits, we encourage you to track your symptoms, so we can discuss the progress you have made and make adjustments, if needed. 

Our Ongoing Commitment to Holistic Support

Hormones thrive when nutrition, exercise, and mindset create a nurturing environment, so we integrate multidisciplinary resources into your hormone replacement therapy. Our Seattle-based team will educate you about appropriate diets and exercises to further stimulate your progress and well-being. We will go over healthy sleeping habits and ways you can incorporate mindfulness in your daily routine. In addition, our team will check in with you on a monthly basis to reinforce your new habits and celebrate your progress, fostering resilience that extends beyond prescription refills.
