Many patients visiting Renew Medical HRT Clinic hormone clinic complain of nonspecific symptoms that can significantly impact quality of life. These may include:
Lack of human growth hormone (HGH) can sap energy levels, making everyday tasks exhausting. Patients report needing naps, feeling drained by afternoon, and having no motivation to exercise.
Without proper HGH levels, adults may lose the lean muscle mass that helps keep weight steady. This can result in feeling "weak" or "frail."
HGH helps the body efficiently metabolize and store energy. With a deficiency, patients tend to gain weight and accumulate belly fat, even with no change to diet or activity levels.
Falling and staying asleep can be difficult with an HGH deficiency. Patients describe waking frequently at night and having trouble getting back to sleep. Poor sleep often exacerbates other symptoms like low energy.
Some patients with low growth hormone levels experience mood swings, social withdrawal, lack of motivation, and feelings of sadness for no clear reason. Hormone imbalances can influence mental health.
Other possible effects of HGH deficiency include hair loss, dry skin, headaches, joint pain, decreased bone density, altered cholesterol levels, and impacts to cardiac function. The wide-ranging symptoms illustrate why prompt diagnosis is essential.
If nonspecific symptoms are disrupting quality of life, lab testing can determine if an HGH deficiency is to blame.
Our clinic orders a growth hormone stimulation test, which measures HGH levels in the bloodstream before and after infusion of compounds that trigger pituitary release of growth hormone. Low HGH even after stimulation often indicates a true deficiency requiring treatment.
Testing is quick and done locally at facilities like Marion Medical Labs. Patients need to fast overnight before the procedure. Side effects are minimal and testing takes just a few hours.
If testing reveals inadequate HGH levels, our clinic customizes treatment to the patient's unique health profile and needs through therapies like:
Daily injections can restore healthy function by delivering bioidentical growth hormone directly into the body. While injections take effort, most patients report dramatic improvement in energy, body composition, and wellbeing when using hgh treatment consistently. We teach proper injection techniques during office visits.
Sermorelin is a growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) analog that stimulates natural production of HGH by the pituitary gland. This therapy reactivates the body's own growth hormone creation. As a shorter protein sequence, sermorelin may have greater bioavailability and fewer side effects than direct HGH therapy.
We may recommend dietary changes or specialized nutritional support to aid hgh production pathways. Key micronutrients and antioxidants provide essential cofactors for growth hormone creation and balance. Targeted nutrition helps other therapies work optimally.
Our goal is restoring patients' health and vitality using individualized care. We thoughtfully apply current medical guidelines and the extensive experience of our clinic's doctors to pick the interventions that work best for each unique situation.

While often associated with illegal performance enhancement, HGH injections are FDA-approved to treat growth hormone deficiency in children and adults. When prescribed properly by an endocrinologist, HGH helps patients attain normal height and muscle mass that their bodies cannot naturally produce.
While treatment resolves the underlying hormone imbalance causing distressing symptoms, patients can further support their wellbeing through a healthy lifestyle. Our clinicians provide tips on:
While treatment gets to the root physiological cause of low energy, poor sleep, weight gain, and other issues stemming from HGH deficiency, lifestyle plays a pivotal role in full recovery. Our practitioners offer specialized expertise both on hormone therapy and healthy living during and after treatment.
